I wouldn't say this was a great arc; the previous one, grim hunt, wast vastly superior in pretty much every way.  That said, I did enjoy the first the parts.  Unfortuntately, the conclusion really fails to deliver.  There is way too much time spent focusing on Dr. Strange, Reed, and Tony, with little time actually focusing on Peter and MJ.  It also seemed a bit cliche; I was looking for a lot more out of this.  Sigh.... maybe the next arc will be better?  

MJ's characterisation was awful. That last issue was the worst Spidey comic I've read in a long time.

  ...  Spoilers please? =]  I don't read Spider-Man but I like reading spoilers.

All my questions were answered. If you look at it as a big picture story, it's not bad.

The whole debacle is kind of cringe worthy, but they did what they felt they needed to do.  Grim Hunt was pretty damn good except for the questionable things they had The Lizard do. 
 
I'm reading the Marvel Adventures timeline now, that's more of a fun light hearted Spidey adventure that I'm looking for.

I haven't had a chance to read the last issue, but I've been pretty disappointed with OMIT start to (near)finish. Everything from the art to the story just hasn't made me care at all. Thankfully, Origin of the Species is now starting.

The entire thing was disappointing

Was just as bad as OMD..well not that bad, but still pretty bad.

OMIT is trash. Origin of Species first issue was pretty good tho.

I think this quote from Marts review says it best for me.
 

" Would MJ truly abandon her life with Peter rather than stay and fight? I don't believe that for a minute. The strength of her love for Peter is what got the deal with Mephisto inked in the first place."

  They day of the chosen one who will write all of Queseda's wrongs and bring them back together again cannot come soon enough. "

Damn.... 
 
Also can anybody tell me what actually happened in the end please? 
=]

Am i missing something ...or after reading this did they not bring up anything with mephisto and the deals between them?

It's in the first issue. You find out MJ's deal, and who do you think that little red bird is? "  

Once more I'm going to be in the comic fan minority but I actually liked the ending to OMIT. I poked a couple tears I'll definitely admit, and like it was said its great especially when you consider it in the bigger picture story.  
 
And it doesn't mean that they will be apart forever, like Mephisto said, they have true love.  So at some point they probably will get back together, just not quite yet.

I went back and read all the books together and it was a lot better the second time around and I ended up really liking the ending . 

I read it, but I still don't fully understand what exactly happened... 
 
Did they basically just rewrite the whole OMD story so that Mephisto had nothing to do with it? Or did he still play a part in it?

I´m disapointed with Spider Man since Aunt May came back from the grave
Poor Spidey

I didn't really care for OMIT. I was interested in seeing what actually happened in the past to alter Peter's future, but either than that I didn't really care. Now this origin of species arc, that looks good. One heck of a follow up. Go from a downer into a awesome arc.
