    I used to REALLY hate these constant reboots, but now I've given up buying ASM so I don't care haha.

    Seriously, I was an ASM completist (since 1979) and the renumberings drove me mad but I still...

    This.

    I voted for BND, but really it was Slott that killed it for me. Though I enjoyed the Superior Spider-Man story, ridiculous epics like Spider-Island and Spider-Verse just weren't something I...

    I kind of like Sins Past. It's not totally unbelievable that Norman could have slept with Gwen. It makes the Gwen period more interesting, in a way. Of course, such huge retcons 30+ years later are...

    Haha this cannot be real. I am so glad I finally gave up these comics.

    Some solid stories with a classic feel. I agree with the poster who said his humor often felt forced. The cheese in the fridge is a perfect example. This was the first time I felt a regular writer...

    I used to love satellite books, but honestly the repeated restarts and cancellations got too old. The old system with Spectacular on 200+ issues and Web on 100+ was beautiful. It kept me buying...

    Voting for Sandman. I love how he just randomly end up at the school while on the run and then is like, "While I'm here, give me a diploma!" And then I can remember every single panel of the fight....

    As Mister Mets says, DeMatteis wrote a bunch of issues (101, 111–133), some of which set up some of the themes and characters he'd develop later (128 with Vermin is a case in point).

    I agree completely with this.

    I have no real opinion on whether this story is good or not. What I do know is that this story has (finally) led me to give up buying Amazing Spider-Man, having not...

    Single issue: maybe Amazing #314, that's a good one. Plenty of great single-issue stories in the Michelinie/McFarlane run. Amazing #252 would be a cool one too, though maybe you need the context of...

    Really hated this issue. Like, for me, it was one of the worst comics I've ever read. If that sounds like hyperbole, it comes from Slott's absolute desperation to make it one of the best, or at least...

    I'm in agreement with most in this thread that MJ was Peter's first and that no way was he MJ's first.

    I'm interested who people think was Peter's 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc then? Before the time he got...

    Not keen on Ottley. First impression of the art is it's too cartoony, and I hate all those big, blocky thighs. But I haven't really liked any Spider-Man artists in the past 10 years except Marcos...

    I'm actually glad Slott never really dealt with MJ. Given he's incapable of writing characters as consistent, believable adults, there would be an awful mess to sort out. She's one of very few to...

    If they really are so desperate to relaunch another #1, I wish they'd print variants with the original numbering intact for those of us who'd prefer to have a collection that makes sense. (I know it...

    Oh man, there's gonna be another #1? I HATE these constant relaunches. I hoped the legacy theme meant they'd finally realised what a bad idea they are. Quesada's half-right: this makes an ideal...

    Honestly, there is no natural ending because there's not designed to be one. If you want a point before ASM became pure nonsense, you need to get out before the robot parents and Aunt May's fake...

    I wasn't asking why he sent Peter rather than anyone else – it just doesn't make any sense why he'd send anyone for a stupid clock. Like, "I'd like to tell him the story as my father told me. While...

    The clock subplot in this issue was just the worst. The characters in Slott's books never make any sense, but this was extreme even for him. Like, why would Jameson Snr send Peter to get the clock?...

    I like some of Dan Slott's Spider-Man work a lot. He's a good writer, no question. I really appreciate the work he puts into long-term plotting, and every issue seems well crafted. There are few lazy...

    It was potentially great - up to #261 it was pretty close to the standard/tone set by Roger Stern. The Puma/Black Cat/Mary Jane-reveal/red-and-blue return/Hobgoblin sequence is A+ stuff, but then all...

    OK I posted something similar in another thread, but some of the things people are saying here seem really weird to me. I don’t understand how so many people are happy to have a dramatic reboot.

    For me, the biggest problem with OMD wasn’t that they got rid of the marriage. It was that it turned Spider-Man comics into a permanent What If?.

    If they’d just got a divorce, that would’ve been...
