What are your best/worst Spider-Man events? And why?

[Hugo Strange]

Best: Spider-Verse

Worst: Spider-Island and Spidergeddon.

Best

-- Acts of Vengeance since that gave us a goddamn good story with Cosmic Spider-Man.

-- Secret Wars '84 still the best showing of Spider-Man as character from writing and character impact in any Marvel event.

-- Civil War, the main event was trash, but JMS' Civil War tie-ins and Back in Black is awesome.

-- HUNTED would have to be the best Spider-Man centric event complete with awesome ".HU" one-shots.

Worst
-- Superior Spider-Man.

It kinda depends on your definition of event.

But Kraven's Last Hunt could count. It was a crossover that took over three titles for two months, and featured Spider-Man believed dead.

The worst event is probably the worst crossover of the clone saga.

I don't know if you can concider it as an event, but the Birth of Venom was very fun to read.

I will never complain about regular event semantics again.

Since it's alright to mention events that happened before OMD, I'll go ahead and choose...

Round Robin: The Sidekick's Revenge!

Definitely best, IMHO.

I’m going to assume that it means based on it having tie-ins and being a set thing. I’m excluding Superior Spider-Man from either category since it was basically a spin-off.

That being said for the worst first, I really hate Spiderverse. It just doesn’t sit well the more time goes on from uninspired villains to having plot points happen in tie-ins and overall really only existing for nostalgia and novelty. Sure I like seeing all these people back, but devoting so much time to killing off characters isn’t a good time to me. There’s also the elephant in the room of killing MC2 Peter and the less said about that dumbass attempt to revive MC2 the better. Sure it can be dumb fun and I’ll admit there are things I like about it, but I wouldn’t call it good. It’s basically been done better elsewhere.
