Issue 300 for me. Early Venom, Todd McFarlane on art, MJ and Peter happily married, and the return of the red and blue costume. So many things to like.

I started reading ASM during the Michelinie / McFarlane era as a teenager, continued through the Michelinie / Larsen era, and quit about the time Carnage was introduced in the Michelinie / Bagley era...

Hated it. A poor knock-off of the Dark Knight Returns that failed miserably IMO.
Meh, while I liked last issue, this issue didn't do much for me. I think a lot of it for me was the art, mainly how Peter and Annie were drawn. Annie looks like a 10-year-old (while on Stegman's...
I finally got around to reading this latest issue, and I liked it; the best issue by far from the new team IMO. I'm still not a fan of Roche's art, but the story's conclusion was very satisfying,...
So how has this series been since issue 5 or so? I've read all of the Ultimate universe stuff through the first TPB of the 616 relaunch. Last I remember they introduced Goldballs and the Black Cat...
Not gonna lie, I didn't care for it. The art and writing was just too cutesy for me, especially Peter's facial expressions (actually, Peter seemed to come across as somewhat of a childish oaf; hope...
Agreed on all issues noted.
Yep, another story arc ending issue that felt rushed, and my fear as well that the series will become too Annie-centric.
(plus, I will miss the VenoMJ costume ....
More classic Jim Lee-era X-Men with a Spider-Man that is still married to MJ? I'm loving the time warp back to the early 90's with this series before both X-Men and Spidey went off the rails! :)
I expect it and welcome it. As much as I like Spidey, ever since Superior I've been more interested in the Doc Ock plots/subplots in ASM than anything Peter has been involved in (including PI,...
Another great issue, with very good writing and art. I'm really liking how consistently good this series has been.
+1 for wishing MJ kept the symbiote costume.
Don't know anything about the new creative team, but I have a hunch I will miss Stegman (on art, and maybe on writing as well). However I definitely like some of the Transformers art by Nick Roche I...
I had watched Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends (Iceman and Firestar for those who weren't around at the time) and played the TSR roleplaying game Marvel Superheroes as a kid (think Dungeons and...

Some interesting conclusions in the...
You're right :) Perhaps the appearance of a kid-focused book may actually increase sales to younger folks and parents looking for a more kid-friendly title. But then I think about some of the more...
While I liked this issue overall, it didn't hook me as well as the opening parts to the X-Men and VenoMJ stories. I was actually more interested in the Curt and Billy Connors substory than I was in...
And I call shenanigans on yours ;)
:P
Is Peter's Everyman life really that bad? He is loved/liked/respected by his family and friends, he went to college, he is able to pay his bills and live fairly comfortably through a variety of...
While I am a proponent of the marriage, I am more an opponent of "the deal." Yes, I too would really like to see the marriage reinstated, but to me doing away with the black mark of the deal on...

"Spider-man is the Marvel Universe's Everyman. We look at Peter Parker through the years, what he represents, and how he's changed through the movie...
From the OP's original question: How do you get past the whole deal Peter and MJ made in the OMD story?
I try to ignore it, but when I read current ASM (since BND) it is still somewhat in the far...
Kill It With Fire!!!
It would seem you are bored of the "everyman" concept that is at the core of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Going back to it would be a welcome return in my opinion, as that is how the character has been...
I'd give it a B+ at the moment. It started off great with the Dan Slott mini-series, was a little bit shaky for the 5-part Mole Man story (did not need to be that long), but has really hit its...
