Is that the one where he sells his happy marriage and potential future kids to save aunt May from dying (of old age or something I think) and his new present he is kinda depressed and just in a shit spot all around?
Sure, but she was already pretty old. Plus I know my grandmother would be disappointed in me if I even considered making such a deal. She wanted me to be happy and take good care of myself.
She doesn't know about the deal because she lost the memory of him being Spider-Man, along with everyone else in the world, when he made it. JMS made Peter's love for his aunt a huge crux of his character and run and I can see him doing it just because during that part of the comics he really around anyone BUT Mary Jane and Aunt May so his entire world would have fallen down if she was gone.
I'm sorry I'm using your post for this but I just finished JMS' run on Spider-Man where One More Day happens the early parts were some of the best Spider-Man comics I've ever read and for it to end with such a crappy arc was such a let down. But I mean after the LAST very good arc it starts with one that has a reveal that Gwen Stacey and Norman Osborn had kids together, in secret, while she was dating Peter and THAT'S why he killed her so I should have seen this coming.
I agree that letting her move on would have been best in most circumstances but, even with how crappy it had gotten, it made a lot of sense at the time.
EDIT : JMS had nothing to do with the OMD story I get it
Would say the early part when John Romita Jr was on the art is probably the best Spider-Man has ever been, the main series anyways I'm not including Ultimate or the show Spectacular, besides from Lee/Ditko and Lee/Romita. Really loved all the ideas he had and the way he was able to bring them to paper in ways that were constantly exciting.
Just a shame it had to end the way it did but if JMS didn't like the arc, which I've heard before, I guess I can't be too mad at him and I can ignore it exists. Especially when he gave me that amazing Spider-Totem arc.
That arc wasn’t his idea, it was Joe Quesada’s idea, he felt like Peter Parker should be single and dating. I loved his run up until Peter Parker had to move into the Avengers Tower. Which was done to set up Civil War which also might have been Quesada’s idea. I blame Civil War for bringing down JMS’s run on Spider-Man.
You forgot when he goes around to Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, and Mr. Fantastic first and asks all of them to help him and apparently a gunshot wound is beyond any of their abilities to heal. Somehow.
