Joe Quesada, on behalf of everyone who has ever loved Spider-Man, Mary Jane, and comic books in general: GO. FUCK. YOURSELF.

01.05.2011 - 09:38 | August M.

Queseda is NOT Editer-in-Chief anymore!!! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

01.05.2011 - 14:11 | mrrubino

But his influence will be felt for years to come until the rest become gradually brave enough to iron out all the tangles created under his reign.

01.05.2011 - 00:44 | FullmetalNinja25

Joe Quesada is the Devil more than Mephisto ever will be. >:(

01.05.2011 - 00:46 | pap64

YAY! The two comic geeks of Channel Awesome collide! And they take down the worst Spider-Man stories ever written! How can you NOT love this video? :D But seriously, great job you guys.

01.05.2011 - 00:53 | Minion of Yahtzee - Good god this is confusing. SPOILERS

So essentially OMIT was Joe Quesada trying to justify OMD by showing how Peter and MJ are going on with their lives by showing flashbacks of other issues showing Mephesto turning into a bird and making scenarios that make being Spider-Man ruin Peter's chances at marrying MJ and creating a array of plot explaining Macguffins. Not only that turn MJ into a whiny idiot that blames Spider-Man for her acting like a classic case of stockholm syndrome. WHAT A PILLE OF GRADE A ASS BURGERS WITH A SIDE ORDER OF SHIT FRIES!!! (That was me trying to condense the fail of OMIT, please tell me if there is anything wrong with my explanation.)

01.05.2011 - 00:52 | AlkoTanko

Supplementary comic that makes the comic it supplements even worse than it was already?

I'm impressed.

01.05.2011 - 00:53 | SpeedyEric

When will Mr. Quesada learn that "One More Day" should have never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER happend?

01.05.2011 - 07:52 | Bootkiller

But didn't you hear Quesada's quote?

"Because of OMIT, OMD technically never existed so that fixes everything"

What a load.

01.05.2011 - 00:56 | Armads

"One of us is successful, the other is you."

Oh god I'm going to have to use that now.

but in all actuality, I'm surprised no one fired Quesada for these. He's CONSISTENTLY screwed over characters and continuity, and done nothing but piss everyone off.

Then again, Frank Miller is still writing and Rob Liefeld is still an artist. So the industry apparently likes keeping failures on long past their expiration date.

01.05.2011 - 09:41 | Falcovsleon20

To make things worse, Quesada is now Chief Creative Officer.

Excuse me while I go cut myself.

01.05.2011 - 14:12 | mrrubino

Kotick still has a job too and hasn't been publicly executed yet. It's cuz he pushes product.

01.05.2011 - 01:00 | Grimm

my two favorite comic nerds in one place at once time? THE DOCTOR MUST OF HAD A HAND IN THIS!!!

now if only the Doctor will fix the damn comic

01.05.2011 - 01:29 | dmh3000

Thankfully, Quesada's no longer the EiC, so maybe Axel Alonso will change it back.

I do wish Joe stuck with drawing delayed issues though. I like him as an artist, he and Kevin Smith got me into Daredevil, but not as a writer.

01.05.2011 - 01:42 | itbegins2005

Huh. SOOOOOO glad I didn't bother to buy this story...

Funny thing is, I like where the Spider-Man books are right now. I don't like how they got there, but Dan Slott and co. have been doing a pretty damn good job on the Spider-books (especially now that The Gauntlet is finally over and Big Time is kicking into gear)! So I'm willing to put up with all the continuity crap and all the half-hearted excuses for Peter and M.J. to be broken up, because a.) the stories are good, and b.) it's probably inevitable that some writer in the future is going to get those two back together some day, and maybe even tie up the loose ends with Mephisto left by OMD- especially now that Quesada is no longer editor-in-chief at Marvel anymore.

Until that day arrives, though, I'm going to try to enjoy Slott's work on the book. It may be a continuity nightmare, but at least it's good reading!

01.05.2011 - 01:42 | Rurik

I concur. Linkara, WE WANT THAT SHIIIIIIIIIIRT!

01.05.2011 - 01:42 | SgtGunlock

Times like this make me want to kiss every dc retcon

01.22.2011 - 22:49 | rowdycmoore

No, I have to say JMS' current retcon of Wonder Woman is worse. MUCH MUCH WORSE. I know I'll get thumbed down for this, but I have to say it:

As godawful as OMD and OMIT are, at the very least they established that the other issues/stories of Spider-Man of the past 20 years are still in canon. Which is what JMS wanted to eliminate had he gotten his way with OMD before Quesada overrode him.

Meanwhile (and I'm hoping the eventual results of Generation Lost will correct this), JMS has now rendered EVERY SINGLE WONDER WOMAN ISSUE SINCE 1986 COMPLETELY WORTHLESS by stating that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE STORIES NEVER HAPPENED. We're just supposed to forget everything everyone from George Perez to Gail Simone ever wrote and accept Straczynski's creation as the only true Wonder Woman????!!!!

Joe Quesada, you are a hack!!!!
J MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI!!! YOU! ARE! AN! UBER-HACK!!!!!!!!!!

01.05.2011 - 01:47 | SzinDragon - So much worse

Not only is OMiT worse, but the ending of it is exactly as they described; a literal punch in the face. Like I've mentioned on the forums before, if you analyze the last panels of OMiT, MJ is Quesada and he's rubbing your face in what he's done in a level of fanboy hack writer gloating I've never seen before.

01.05.2011 - 01:56 | whatever42

It's good to see you two doing a video together. I knew it was going to happen from the moment there were two comic book guys on the site and it turned out very good.

Well, there's not much that can be said about this comic that hasn't been said. It's a terrible thing meant to help make One More Day seem better. Just by that token alone, it's horrible. It's really too bad that good art like that is wasted on something that doesn't even come close to warrenting it.

Nicely done guys. Keep up the good work.

01.05.2011 - 01:57 | SlugLady28 - Payback is sweet indeed

Thankyou guys for suffering through this review for us. I hate this thing to a point a can't describe. More specificly, the 4th issue, cause that was the only thing i dared to buy and fully read. But this review makes me feel so much better about the $4.24 i wasted on this thing! I commend you guys!

01.05.2011 - 02:15 | LadyTerra

I'm glad you two finally did a crossover. I just wish it wasn't for this. I mean, I know Linkara's domain is bad comics, but OMiT makes me want to shoot things, particularly jerks who like to ruin great characters.

01.05.2011 - 02:19 | Deimos1984rd

That was great crossover, now let us never speak of One more day nor OMIT...because it never happened....IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!! >:(

01.05.2011 - 02:21 | Bonkers

What I don`T get is, how people are unable to get the most obvius joke of "One Moment in time" (OMIT)that is similiar in term like Gay for Justice.

Seriously guys, what comes up if you put the letter V in front of OMIT?
Yes people. The best description of what Spiderman Fans are doing after reading this crap!

Great review you two. Also if I have to say it is mostly our last angry Geek doing the work here.

01.05.2011 - 10:17 | Kari

You don't even need to do that. Omit is a word. It means to leave something out, so by the title, they TOLD US to just skip it. >:D

01.05.2011 - 02:36 | geeb - i should...

i should read more comic books. I only read manga right now and the only things that i read were death note and fullmetal alchemist. sure i read some other manga that i am not proud of, but the matter at hand is that i should read more western comics and thanks to you guys i can see what not to buy and get a laugh at the horribly bad ones. this is a thank you to both you and linkara.

01.05.2011 - 02:39 | LikaLaruku

I'm a normal human being, & I can probably only lift a cinder block an inch off the ground.

Someday when Quesada is gone, all his stuff will get retconned.

01.05.2011 - 04:29 | Divide By Zero

Oh dear lord I hope so.

01.05.2011 - 02:49 | Shadow Caster

Good episode guys ¡¡¡¡

01.05.2011 - 02:57 | Jezzy54

Wow. I'd heard this story was bad, but the marriage ended because Mephisto let some generic thug get away? That could work if it was a What If...? story, and the writer was worth a damn, but as it is? No. No! Bad Joe Quesada! We do that outside!

01.05.2011 - 03:00 | BAC

Look I am going to come out and say that while I did not like OMD or OMIT in any way shape or form. I really think calling Quesada a hack is wrong. That is a strong word to use against any creator/artiest/writer/ entertainer/etc.

He is just not a good writer or story teller. Hell this was what his second or third time writing? I can understand the feelings of having some of your favorite characters messed with and trust me that is something to be upset about. But, the name calling I think it a bit out of line.

04.23.2011 - 22:14 | GoldenSolitude04

That is what happens when you fuck around with popular fictional heroes. And some people do deserve to be called a hack

01.05.2011 - 03:33 | lycanfan - Please Don't Abandon Spidey, Guys!!!

OMD and O.M.I.T. are wretched, deplorable, and two of the worst comics I've ever read, and I've been reading comics for 20+ years, and have PLENTY of pre-90's back issues. And yes, the beginning of Brand New Day (BND) was that special brand of generic bad (the "Uh, this tanks" brand).

BUT things have gotten better. The Second half of BND. New Ways to Die. Kraven's First Hunt. The Gauntlet. Kraven's Last Hunt. Character Assassination (haha, irony). Issue 600. Big TIme. All of these arcs have been great. Spidey really is back, and he just as great as when JMS helmed him earlier this past decade.

So please: don't leave now. Don't let the wound of OMD and OMIT turn you away. Just bury them away in the deepest recesses of your memories, and let them die. I still love Spider-Man, and I hope you'll stick by him as I have.

01.05.2011 - 03:33 | thekhan

Even devils should beware when bargaining with Mary Jane Watson! (cookie for the reference)

01.05.2011 - 03:38 | Robert the Kid

I actually started crying at the start of the review. That how much OMIT hurt me as a fan of Spider-Man and Mary Jane. I'm going to make a shirt with "JOE Q is a HACK" on it.

01.05.2011 - 04:16 | Cloudcutter

The one guy who down voted NintendoFanboy was Joe Quesada

01.05.2011 - 04:28 | Divide By Zero - Temporal physics brain hurty

Wait wait wait wait wait.... wait.

So, if Mary Jane "tricked" Mephisto into making a bargain not to mess with Peter while at the same time creating a reality where they never made a deal at all... so now Mephisto CAN mess with him whenever he wants?

I'm confused.

01.05.2011 - 05:40 | Dry

Very good review you two - do you plan to do more stuff together?

I always was a big Spider-man fan, but the last year(s) were really bad. They turned Peter into a whiny, brooding emo.. I really miss the old, fun day. And its getting worse and worse.. starting from that Conners-ate-his-kid story to this terrible Kraven family thing.

01.05.2011 - 14:29 | Zolton

Those stories were great, I thought. Lizard eating his own child while Conners is aware the whole time is fucking crazy.

That's the thing with comics, one month it's a cool Kraven story the next it's OMIT. Beware of the names on the cover.
Joe Kelly = good
Joe Quesada = bad

01.05.2011 - 06:16 | the_ultimate_evil - same old crap

omit just really pissed me off, i hated BND but wanted to give this a chance. but as you said it was nothing but a kick in the balls any of the fans who preferred MJ and peter together.

i could have let it go but the constant slaps in the face in the new series(as you shown in the show) just make you think wtf

we did get some good stuff though with harry being back but they still have yet to pull the trigger on a goblin war between harry and norman

though it could have been worse old hack joey Q didn't get everything he wanted, the boring gwen is still dead and i can be thankful, for that. though we did end up with gwen stacy MKII in carlie cooper :(
