Marvel Comics
Release date: September 9, 2010


At the time of its release, Marvel's decision to make Peter Parker single again after years of being married to Mary-Jane Watson was met with mixed emotions at best. Many felt that the story told in "One Last Day" was inconsistent with previous Spider-Man stories, especially the part where Peter makes a deal with Mephisto to rescue his Aunt May, which many thought was too cosmic, or out there a concept to appear in the more street-level Spider-Man. Others wondered why Marvel felt that an unmarried Spider-Man is so much more superior to a married one. Over the last four issues, we have been revisiting the "One Last Day" storyline in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man, with a story called "One Moment in Time," brought to us by writer and Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada.

Contest: ‘Night Of The Living Trekkies’ Prize Pack

Night Of The Living Trekkies

Remember that trailer for Night Of The Living Trekkies that was released last week? If that piqued your interest about the scifi/horror mash-up novel, then check this out. We here at Geeks of Doom have a nifty little Night Of The Living Trekkies prize pack to give away to one lucky reader!

One (1) winner will receive:

- One (1) Night Of The Living Trekkies book
- One (1) Night Of The Living Trekkies poster

This sci-fi/zombie/comedy/adventure follows a group of rag-tag Trekkies getting together for the fifth annual GulfCon (billed as the "largest Starfleet Convention in the western Gulf Coast region").

Our heroes are dressed in homemade uniforms and armed with prop phasers-but soon find themselves defending their hotel and convention center against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Suddenly, all of their useless knowledge about particle physics and old Star Trek episodes has genuine real-world applications! And while hotel employees and regular civilians are dying left and right, our Trekkies summon strength and courage by emulating their favorite starship-voyaging characters.

Packed with hundreds of gags referencing Star Trek, Star Wars, comic books, and fan conventions, Night of the Living Trekkies reads like the strange lovechild of Galaxy Quest and Dawn of the Dead. Journey to the final frontier of zombie science-fiction satire!
