    Default CBR Community Census: Spider-Man Ten Best Stories.

    I thought it would be good to survey posters ten best Spider-Man stories seeing where we agree and differ. It's a catch all thread for that and might help new Spider-Man readers as well!

    Mine:

    1. Amazing Fantasy #15.
    2. The Death of Gwen Stacy.
    3. How Green Was My Goblin/Spidey Saves The Day. TASM #39-40.
    4. Confessions. USM #13.
    5. The Kid That Collects Spider-Man. TASM #248.
    6. Coming Home. TASM (Vol. 2) #30-35.
    7. The Conversation. TASM (Vol. 2) #38.
    8. Finale. Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #310.
    9. The Superior Foes of Spider-Man.
    10. Spider-Man: Blue.

    A lot of my list recommends one-and-done stuff rather than full arcs, which I think sums it up.

    616 Only

    (In no particular order).

    -- Kraven's Last Hunt
    -- ASM#50, Vol.2 -- "Doomed Affairs"

    -- ASM#246 -- "The Daydreamers"
    -- Marvel Knights: Spider-Man
    -- ASM#14 -- "The Grotesque Adventure of the Green Goblin"
    -- ASM #143-149 -- "The First Clone Saga"
    -- ASM Annual #21 -- "The Wedding"
    -- Spectacular Spider-Man (vol. 2) #21 -- "read 'em and weep"
    -- "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man"

    Honorable Mention (including stuff outside 616)
    -- Superman Versus The Amazing Spider-Man
    -- The Night Gwen Stacy Died
    -- The Owl/Octopus War
    -- Ultimate Spider-Man #1-13. Vol.1
    -- "My Dinner with Jonah"
