Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #14

[Revolutionary_Jack]

FNSM #14 - Tom Taylor's final FNSM issue is a wonderful single issue that also closes the volume well.

It's a wonderful valedictory issue, it's got some real emotion and some of the best Peter and Aunt May interactions ever. The entire issue is an adaptation of that line at then end of Spider-Man 2, "Isn't it time someone else saved your life?"

This is worthy of Paul Jenkins.

To me Taylor's entire 14 issue run on FNSM is criminally underrated. It features for my mind three all-time great issues (Spider-Bite, FNMJ, and this).

In terms of recent finale issues, it's not at the level of Zdarsky's SSM#311 but I would put it quite above Slott's ASM#801.

I see they had Reed and Kamala team-up... I wish we could see that in either Fantastic Four or Magnificent Ms. Marvel - they have similar powers and that should be explored in more than a one panel cameo.

Dump Spencer stat, give ASM to Tom Taylor and let him write it for as many years as he wants to.

Or just keep FNSM going as it should have.

Cosigned, although Zdarsky's last Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man issue was 310, not 311, which was part 1 of the Spider-Geddon tie-in and should have frankly been its own miniseries.

It's settled. I'm going to make a custom bind with this run. And another for Zdarsky's Spectacular with Life Story. These have actually been better than ASM.

Now this was definitely a great issue but not on the level of Spider bite or the MJ stand alone. Those two were the highlight of the entire run. I’m sad to see the title go because now we are essentially left with one Spider-Man title. The problem is that particular title has really been struggling as of late.

All in all not the best time to be a Spiderman fan.

You're exactly right. It hasn't been for a long time now. Not unlike 20 years ago, the character is due for a renaissance across titles (JMS, Jenkins, RAS, Bendis). Today, we're stuck with Peter David writing out of continuity titles for pleasure.

Hasn't been all bad. We've gotten Zdarsky, Taylor, Life Story, City at War...and movies, we've gotten Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Far From Home, the PS4 game...yeah the comics are in a weird spot, but this has been a good few years for the web-slinger.
