>I don’t think this has ever been made public. I remember [Marvel editor] Tom Brevoort suggesting Spidey [reveal his identity] for the simple reason that his continuity was about to get a magical reboot a year later with One More Day, and so we could kind of do whatever we liked. It’s pretty funny because it seemed enormously bold, but of course Marvel had the cosmic reset button a year later planned, so it was every much a calculated risk.

That is depressing
It makes sense. As good as JMS' Civil War and Back in Black arcs were, Spider-Man would have never felt like Spider-Man again if it were allowed to stand.
It makes complete sense that they were always planning to do OMD since they were having bitchfits at the time about how Spider-Man could only ever be a kid and stuff
I remember thinking the unmasking would be a long term deal at the time. They were doing great work with Daredevil having his identity exposed.
Hope it was worth it you fucks, you lost like half of Spidey's sales
it's ok they're making up for it in immortal hulk sales
And despite being a core fan since the Jim Lee X-Men days I haven't paid money for a new Marvel comic outside of King's Vision series since then. Why would I give money to a company who is directly told me I shouldn't care?
Yet people are out there thinking it was a JMS fuck up.
>He regrets Sins Past, but not OMD.
If we needed anymore proof.
GODDAMMIT, Yea Forums.
TEST!!!
It's been back for me about 10 minutes now
Man that guy's face is long
Wow that makes it so much worse, go fuck yourself beveroot! The most astonishing thing is that One More Day was planned, an entire year and at least 5 writers a bunch of artists and a few editors and the best you could do was a literal deal with the devil.
It's getting decent sales again thanks to Spencer fixing some of mess caused by OMD.
That's a Millar quote btw. Christ, the guy couldn't be a bigger snake. He is involved in so much of the worst cancer of the industry and then he gets a new job and says "Lol that was so dumb can't belie those guys did that lol" as if it's not him doing it every time.
How is the art?
>They were doing great work with Daredevil having his identity exposed.
I know Bendis is a dirty word but look back this is legit some of the best Marvel of the 21st century. The concept is ballsy and original AND the consequences were fully explored.

Current ASM is being drawn by rotating artists Humbreto Ramos, Kev Walker and Ryan Ottley. Patrick Gleason will be taking over the art duties starting from ASM #32(833).
If you want to know what Patrick's art looks like, see -

Thanks for the response. Not a huge fan personally of the art but I was expecting far worse.
I thought this was well known. It's the same reason Dan Slott killed so many spiders in Spider-Verse. Secret Wars was happening and destroying the marvel multiverse anyways so it didn't matter.
Some of the universes besides 616 are still intact though. They even brought back MC2 Spider-Man in a follow-up sequel to Spider-Verse.
I'm pretty sure that all of those Spiders are still dead apart from MC2 Peter. The Web Warriors series that came after Secret Wars was all about them fighting crime in universes whose Spiders were killed during Spider-Verse.
And yet, it's so easy and they can still keep the deal.
>MJ dies
>Mephisto offers him a deal but their marriage is erased from history
>Since Parker accepts his responsibility in MJ's death he accepts
>He gets one final moment with MJ and she says something to Mephisto
>reboot happens
Wow, that makes Tubby Joe's promise that "this is permanent, he's not magically going to hide his identity again a year later..." even scummier.
It saddens me that to most kids today and the adults of tomorrow, the definite Spider-Man will be Dan Slott's Spider-Man.
Imagine reading Marvel comics, we are seriously at the point where I think editors are laughing at us
No, they aren't. OMD represented a permanent loss of a decade worth of revenue.
He doesn't regret OMD because it wasn't his call. He also left marvel over OMD and more meddling.
Gwenpool was...good? It was a fine little series, same as Ant Man, though that same writer made one insufferable Captain America run. Most of everything else? Yeah, it can burn.
It's not that era anymore, friend. With Cbuski taking over, things are slowly changing for the better.
No, it'll be Spencer's Spider-Man.
