One More Month

One More Day

Everybody and their mother seems to have a theory on One More Day so now that we are only a month away I thought I’d throw my 2 cents in and see how it pays off.

My thinking is that via some Doc Strange magic, a favourite device of JMS’, Spider-Man will get to see his future. This future will be the one that we got a glimpse of in #500 where everyone Peter loves is dead and people apparently knew his identity. Why do I think this? Well take a look at the cover, that gloved hand looks a lot like the costume he was wearing in this doomed future.

Peter will make the decision that if Aunt May and Mary Jane are ever going to have happy lives they can’t know he is Spider-Man. Cue a trip to see Loki who grants him the spell he’s owed him since an arc early in JMS’ run.

Aunt May she will still be in his life as she’s his Aunt and only knew his secret for a year or two in Marvel Time. Sadly with Mary Jane Peter has to nullify the whole relationship, as she’s know since before she met him.

As a side effect this also cleans up the unmasking, and would perhaps lead to a subplot of people having a whole in their memories where part of Civil War is concerned.

I don’t know if I’d go with Peter remember or not. If he remembers it doesn’t make those stories pointless, which a lot of people hated in the Clone Sage. On the other hand if he does remember he’ll be in mourning for his marriage and rightfully so… but we got that when Mary Jane died and it sucked.

One More Month.
