"One Moment In Time." The event that is supposed to explain what really happened at Peter's and Mary Jane's wedding. Does the first the issue do a good job of capturing the reader? Read on.
I never liked Brand New Day. I miss the days where Spidey would swing home and Mary Jane would be waiting for him. I can't stand now that he's less confident, asking advice from Harry, (really!) and that it just doesn't feel right. He's been through everything that Brand New Day is doing. Now, One Moment In Time is supposed to explain what occurred during the wedding.
This issue felt weak. I wasn't a huge fan of the art. Mary Jane just looks plain weird. Anyways, most of this issue is a flashback from the annual where Peter and Mary Jane got married. (That's out the window now of course). We are treated to some retro-style art. The best part in this issue in my opinion is the Black Suit. Other than that, I didn't like it too much.
I am looking forward to, however, the reason exactly why they weren't married. It's amazing in the flashback, how they just don't seem to connect. I think the writers did that on purpose.
In closing, compared to the past Spidey events, this one just wasn't that good. Maybe issue two will be better. I'm looking forward more to Origin of Species.
I give this issue a 2.5/5. Part two will be out in two weeks.
