    Just friends...

    Story: OMIT has finally come to an end. Peter and MJ have almost finished discussing the true events of what happened between them, but they have not talked about the end. After a long discussion, Strange, Tony, and Reed have made a decision. Strange is going to erase everyone's memory of Peter Parker being Spider-Man. As Strange is doing so, Peter saves MJ from Strange's spell. The only two people who know Peter's identity are himself and MJ. Later that night MJ is very upset and reveals that she didn't want to remember that he was Spider-Man. So at the end MJ tells Peter that she wrote him a letter but threw it away. It said how much she loved him. She kisses Peter and says that they can only be friends.
    Writing: OMIT has been nothing but hype. This story arc did not amount to what it was said to be. MJ and Peter have been a major iconic comic book couple and now they are only bff's. I feel that it is just one big slap in the face to the readers (us) and even Stan Lee. The memories were interesting but that doesn't really make up for poor writing with Peter and MJ now. To tell you the truth this arc has been a waste of time and paper. Oh and ink. This issue made the most boring part most of the issue which was when Strange, Reed, and Tony were talking.
    Characters: These characters were put in the hands of a poor writer. Joe Quesada tarnished MJ and Peter's relationship. I read OMIT strictly for Peter and MJ and I was not impressed and was purely let down.
    Dialogue: Who cares about the dialogue when you have a giant mess with Peter and MJ???!!!
     
    Art: Are those how facial expressions really are Joe Quesada????
    Cover: The cover was gorgeous. The classic MJ holding on to Peter look. All the covers for OMIT have been amazing!
    Penciling: If you read my previous reviews on OMIT then you know I hate Quesada's penciling and I like the other one.
    Cover: I like the coloring on Joe Quesada's art because you couldn't see his work in the dark.
     
    My favorite scene!
    Somehow I did manage to find a scene I really liked. When MJ was saying how she didn't want to remember that Peter was Spider-Man and how she was the one putting people in danger because she was Spidey's girl, that really impressed me. I never looked at it that way and I really liked that scene.
     
    Reasons to and not to pick up.
    Reasons to pick up: This issue did bring up a new perspective on MJ putting people in danger because she is Spidey's girl and I think that is really cool and does need to be looked upon. The memories were good to look at and the art for the memories was great.
    Reasons not to pick up: Peter and MJ are now bff's. For me it is all or nothing. I feel that their relationship has been tarnished and that Joe Quesada should never have written OMIT. OMIT has been just hype in other words all bark and no bite. Joe Quesada's art is bad. OMIT should have been omitted from this series and should never have been mentioned.
    Verdict: Do not pick up!!! 3 out of 5.

        Cover The cover is nice and it has a nice camouflage with the blue in Spider-man and MJ’s clothing. Story The story begins with MJ and Peter talking in her apartment like in every other OMIT issue. Then the story of the past begins. Dr. Strange, Mr. Fantastic, and Iron Man are talking about Peter and if he should remember. They agreed that they will have Peter remember and have the whole world forget that he is Spider-man. At first he was going to make MJ forget also but, Peter said he loved h...

      The Shit Quesada Says. 0

      By The Angry Comic Book Critic         Okay it's been said many times before but I'll say it again Joe Quesada IS AN IDIOT!!! He could not pour piss out of a boot if the instructions where on the heel....This...This whole thing makes me wonder where is this all going? What is the end game? What is the point of all this? I mean least before all that insanity that was One More Day and One Moment In Time as fan I had a general idea of where it was all headed but now I don't know. I just don't know ...
