Marvel Comics Renounces Marriage, Embraces Satanism

Eager to start the year off with a clean slate for their biggest franchise, Marvel Comics last week released Amazing Spider-Man #545, the final chapter of the "One More Day" storyline. It was a comic that saw Peter Parker make a deal with the Devil that rewrote history, helpfully getting rid of his marriage, the death of his one-time best friend, last year's media-frenzy revelation of his public identity, and twenty-years' worth of stories (here's something to put it in some kind of context).

The Joy Of Watching Spider-Man's Marriage Go Plop

The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate families torn asunder due to demonic intervention. This week sees the release of the long-dreaded Amazing Spider-Man #545, the comic which writer J.M. Straczynski almost took his name off. The demon Mephisto has offered to save the life of Peter Parker's Aunt May — but at the cost of undoing Parker's marriage to Mary Jane. We already know what choice Spidey will make, but the fun is in watching his marriage splinter, and bitching about it online afterwards. More new comics coming Friday (thanks to holiday delays) after the jump. More »
