Newsarama have a good editorial on the final issue of One More Day here.

I used to collect Spider-Man back in the days of the Clone Saga, and ironically at that point, using Mephisto to sort it out was deemed an unsuitable solution.

The flaws in One More Day are so staggering its unbelievable. By creating his new “more relatable” Peter Parker, Joe Quesada has badly damaged the character in the worst ways. Is there anyone here who could honestly say that Peter made the right choice in throwing his loving marriage out the window? I can’t see how that character is relatable in the slightest. In fact, most of the online community seem disgusted at the idea of Peter Parker at the moment.

I dropped Spider-Man, not after Ben Reilly was killed off (despite loving the character), but when Aunt May was sloppily resurrected the first time. Her death in Amazing #400 was a beautiful issue, and it was undone so callously, and unnecessarily that I couldn’t bear to support the title anymore. I occassionally try to get back into the books, but everytime I do, I find a glaring reason not to keep reading them, and its invariably had nothing to do with the marriage.

There’s an absolutely cracking bunch of creative teams coming onboard Spider-Man with “Brand New Day”, and I just feel sorry for them. Its a waste of good talent having their run tainted in this way. And poor JMS, who has just been forced to write a story retconning his entire run out of existance.

Make Mine Marvel? Not likely. Think God I dropped Spider-Man years ago, because it means I didn’t waste money on this dross. DC readers may complain about Dan Didio, but I don’t think anything he’s done is half as bad as this.
