Ultimate Spider-Man is not getting cancelled. I read an interview with Brian Michael Bendis in Captain America #32 a couple of days ago where he said that he's written up to issue 126 and rough drafts right into the 140s.

History has (presumably) been reversed to long before Millar's Marvel Knights ever happened.

The Other and OMD
I know this has probably been discussed, but I can't be arsed to go through all the threads....
Will the fantastic ( :rolleyes: ) retcon reset his biological webshooters? His death, rebirth?Comic book fans are a cowardly and superstitious lot. While the fans claim they want change, they tend to react negatively to it.

I do hope the second part is up soon. I was looking forward to reading it. I find multi-part interviews sort of annoying, though maybe it was just giving time to get it transcribed.

I read that too. It might be interesting to see if Ultimate Spider-Man starts to become even more popular sales wise compared to ASM due to the reprecussions of OMD. Originally Posted by Venom

They probably genuinely meant it, and it never occured to them that they'd just had him undo all his work like it never happened. Originally Posted by Lemurion

At least he didn't bring her back and make MJ and Gwen a couple. Originally Posted by George Berryman

Wow. This blows my mind. He really thinks this was a good comic. He is proud of it. Has he lost his damn mind?

I think it's interesting that Quesada points out that JMS played an important role in OMD:
Also, this passage was interesting as well:I also think fans are misreading what Joe meant by disagreeing with the story. When we came up with the idea and methodology behind "One More Day," Joe was a part of the group that came up with the story. When we were done and felt we had it nailed, Joe told me that he was going to cycle off of "Amazing Spider-Man" and that he wanted to move on to other stuff. I told Joe that it was his call: He could close out his "Amazing Spider-Man" run however he wanted, or he could end it with the story we all created for "One More Day." He said he really wanted to write "One More Day." So Joe never said anything that indicated he disagreed with Peter and MJ's marriage being dissolved. If he had disagreed with the idea, he certainly would have told us and he certainly would not have asked to write the story. So like I said, I think people were reading into his on-line comments as opposed what I believe he was saying.
So, it seems that some (most? all?) of the last 30 years of continuity happened and JMS wanted to negate those years. A lot of people unhappy with this story are saying that Quesada did this very thing - made the last couple of decades meaningless or events that "never happened."Also, the science that Joe was going to apply to the retcon of the marriage would have made over 30 years of Spider-Man books worthless, because they never would have had happened. We would have also had a "Crisis" in the Marvel Universe because it would have reset way too many things outside of the Spider-Man titles. We just couldn't go there and in the end we weren't expecting that kind of story.
I wonder if this will change anyone's opinion of Quesada and OMD.
Ah - probably not.--Quid--

The stores in my city have cut their order of Amazing down to half now due to widespread de-subscribing by their customers.
