    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 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.

    Spidey has loads of great events in his long history. Immediately coming to mind are Ends of the Earth, KLH, Dying Wish/Superior Spider-man and I'll will always have a soft-spot for Spider-Hunt (and Identity Crisis to a lesser extent).

    And then there is The Gathering of Five/Final Chapter.

    Because I apparently hate myself, I recently payed actual money for the trade to revisit and see if it was as awful as I remember. On the plus side, it wasn't exactly as bad as I remember. On the negative side; it was worse.
    Just. Be. Nice.

    Awesome! It was a wonderful story, and Marvel's Epic Collections are pleasingly economical (IMHO).
