This is yet another chapter in the prelude to One More Day. Although the story seems like it's a long time in coming. I really hope it lives up to it's hype. Anyway this one is written by J Michael Straczynski with beautiful artwork by Joe Quesada. Which is really something, considering he's the editor in chief of Marvel now. He's got every Marvel quip on the cover of this also. Except for " . . 'nuff said!". But I'm sure he'll pull that one out of the closet soon enough. Anyways, Doctor Strange is in yet another Marvel book this month. Let's see . . . he just got done helping the Fantastic Four heal Eternity, he's taken Hank McCoy on a tour of the Omniverse, and now he's going to try to help Peter with May. He's a busy guy. Good thing he's an expert at multi-tasking. Basically, the Doc opens up all of eternity to Peter so that he can ask anyone anything, all at the same time, in his quest for information on how to help May. He sends him out in all directions, but he stops him from travelling in to the past. But Peter has plans of his own. While the Doc is distracted, Peter uses Doc's tools, and his familiarity with Latin, to try to cross the temporal rift. He's hoping he can warn himself or May. He doesn't do either, but it does seem that he's the one that got his attention outside the motel, that caused him to flinch for a moment, saving his and MJ's life. Which now he feels guilty about. So there's nothing else the Doc can do, but he does give Peter a speech about life, and the need for beginnings and endings. But after he leaves, a little girl confronts him on the street. "We all die Peter. You, me, and those we love most dearly. We cannot change that. . . . . he was right. You cannot change that. But I . . . can." So I'm not sure what that's all about. But, it's part 2 of 4 of the prelude. Overall I thought it was a good story. And a great way to end this series.
