Line 14:
If you're [[Literal-Minded]] towards a Wall Banger, then you'd better wear a crash helmet: as Peter Parker himself said, [[Understatement|"This isn't a pretty story"]].

▲=== The points of both <s> horrible [[Fanfic|fanfics]] [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]</s> these canonical storylines that are bound to send heads against walls are pretty much as follows: ===
* Joe Quesada used this storyline because for Peter and MJ to get a divorce and an abortion would be immoral. How, then, is it ''better'' to sell the marriage and fetus to the devil?
** [[Teasing Creator|It's magic, he doesn't have to explain it.]]
Line 39 ⟶ 36:
** This comic has been bashed by so many people not only for the stupidity, but also for gaping plot holes in the devil's powers. See [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] for several reasons including that the devil is a [[Manipulative Bastard]].
** [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28545 In a September 2010 interview], JQ revealed that due to MJ's use of [[Exact Words]], Mephisto had accidentally retconned ''the deal itself'' out of existence. Think about that again (even though those [[Exact Words]] could easily be corrupted in any number of way by a sufficiently creative individual, let alone an immortal embodiment of pure evil).
* '''Two covers''', of all things, had the ''balls'' to twist the knife with the wounds these storylines opened in the hearts of fans, namely [http://www.eslahoradelastortas.com/blog/media/season04/marvel-apes-2.jpg this] [[Marvel Apes]] cover that parodies the [[One More Day]] logo above and [https://web.archive.org/web/20200409033025/http://photos.imageevent.com/afap/heroesandvillans/marvelzombies/large/marvel_zombies_Spider-Man%20wedding.jpg this] [[Marvel Zombies]] cover that parodies Spider-Man's wedding by replacing the superheroes with their zombified counterparts (with [[Nausea Fuel|obvious]] [[Squick|results)]]. In both cases... Quesada! [[Dude, Not Funny|THIS IS NOT FUNNY!]] [[Sick and Wrong|AT ALL!]]
** That Marvel Zombies cover was actually from about a year before One More Day, and Marvel Zombies' covers are well known for parodying iconic Marvel covers. Not really related to this.
* To cap this all off, the entire plot openly ignores the main Aesop of the Spider-Man franchise: with great power comes great responsibility. Because Peter revealed his identity to the world and his loved ones were hurt, a scenario he had been standing behind for decades as to why he '''wouldn't''' reveal his identity, he made a deal with the devil because [[Broken Aesop|he couldn't take responsibility for his actions]].
Line 60 ⟶ 57:
* Why, for the love of God, did Spider-Man listen to '''Mephisto''' of all people? He should already know who Mephisto is, having dealt with his son in the past, so he should know that the guy is basically the biblical Satan! So if you know that the literal devil wants to make a deal with you, why the hell would you follow up on that offer, especially if you're one of the smartest, most moral and kindest superheroes around?!
** Not to mention he's friends with [[Ghost Rider|someone]] who has been royally screwed over by Mephisto. You'd think he'd know better.
