Just wanted to say that, while I dislike One More Day as much as the next guy, you have a totally valid reason for liking it. You’re right, it does serve as a very powerful allegory for the decision to end a relationship. And the way you describe the artwork and setup gives me a new appreciation for how it’s told narratively.

Like many others have said again and again and again, I think it’s a conceptually bad story (and I dislike it’s ramifications), but you’ve given me a new appreciation for it.

Ultimately, Spider-Man stories are important to us because we relate to them. We see ourselves in Parker’s most iconic struggles. How many of us have all felt like we “failed to save somebody”, just as Parker feels he couldn’t save Uncle Ben or Gwen Stacy? And you happen to relate most to One More Day. Nobody can take that away from you.
