19 Years Later, Marvel Officially Makes Spider-Man’s Most Controversial Story So Much Worse

I really dislike the Spider-Man: One More Day storyline. As someone who read Spider-Man comics as a kid in the 90s, I was used to him being married, and his relationship with Mary Jane felt essential to the character. What bothered me most was Marvel changing established history by having Spider-Man make a deal with the devil – specifically, Mephisto – to save Aunt May. The cost? Erasing his marriage. I still struggle to read that story because this dramatic, deal-with-the-devil plot felt completely unlike Spider-Man. And unfortunately, things have only gotten worse since then.
