    Default Recommend reading - RUNS

    Hey guys!

    I’m interested in getting your input into what are the best/good/entertaining spider-man runs ever - they can be from Peter Parker: Spider-Man, ASM, ETC.

    Just trying to find the best��

    Jenkins/Buckingham/Ramos. Peter Parker: Spider-Man (1999) #30-41, 44-50. Highly underrated.
    Second vote for Bendis/Bagley.

    Lee/ Ditko- The first and most important run. Might even be the best, given all the good stories.

    Lee/ Romita- This is probably what most people think of with the Spider-Man status quo.

    There's an argument for the first 150 issues being close to essential.

    Beyond that...

    Stern's ASM- Probably the best take on a Peter Parker who had been Spider-Man for a few years. Stern took more care into doing stuff that wasn't being done elsewhere.

    Peter David's Spectacular Spider-Man/ 1980s work- Sometimes very serious, sometimes irreverent take on a street-level Spider-Man.

    DeMatteis Spectacular Spider-Man- The Harry Osborn Saga is one of the best mega-arcs ever. Kraven's Last Hunt was the best standalone story.

    Bendis/ Bagley Ultimate Spider-Man- Very accessible modern look at a high-school age Peter Parker.

    Slott's Spider-Man- You can read it for cheap on Marvel Unlimited. He takes Peter to new places, and tells the Ultimate Doctor Octopus story.
    Sincerely,
    Thomas Mets

    Bill Mantlo's Spectacular Spider-Man - considered by some to be underrated.

    DeFalco/Frenz ASM run - supposed to be DeFalco's best-ever work.

    Busiek/Olliffe Untold Tales of Spider-Man - retroactively filling in gaps while chronicling Spidey's early days.

    I'll add (because all the previous choices are perfect):

    * Jeff Loeb / Tim Sale - Spider-man Blue - a revisit of his origins.
    * Lee / Rominata - The Amazing Spider-Man: Newspaper - published by IDW

    Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis is the best I've read yet.

    Start with something more modern like Slott's Amazing Spiderman run.

    I would then recommend reading Lee/Ditko and Stern/JRJR.

    And Bendis' Ultimate Spiderman is awesome.

    It is truly one of the best. Easily in my top 3.
