In order to attempt to stem the complaints and confusion “One More Day” has generated on the internet and in comic book shops worldwide, Marvel’s released a handy dandy little illustration to explain the current Spider-Man universe’s state of affairs. Of course, the fact that they even had to create something like this in order to explain what the heck is going on right now kind of speaks to how well conceived and written the OMD arc was in the first place, but hey, we got some John Romita Jr. art out of it, so it’s not like it’s a total waste, right?
I have to say, however, Aunt May looks like she’d rather be dead than dealing with this nonsense.
Spread the word!
