Is probably one of the few runs that i never heard many complaints about if any, DeFalco, Wolfman, Conway, Micheline, DeMatteis, JMS, Slottt all their runs had their fair share of supporters and detractors, but Stern? pretty much everyone loves it, most likely is considered the best Spider-Man run after the Lee/Dikto/Romita years.

I don’t think I’m edgy...I just find it humorous how the two of you are demanding college thesis papers from anyone who says they don’t like JMS’s Spider-Man run, and anytime anyone makes a joke (like the guy who said about the pasta dish with manure at the bottom) you take such umbrage. Some people love JMS’s run, some hate it and some like parts of it and don’t like other parts. The two of you should stop getting the vapors anytime anybody but the first group says anything.
I wish. Then I would be rich, living off royalties from my successful TV Show, the points from my respected and influential runs on ASM and Thor, as well as consulting fees for the MCU, and also the screenwriter of a very good movie called CHANGELING starring Angelina Jolie.
I would also be suffering from the traumatic and horrific childhood described by JMS in his recent autobiography...and all of a sudden, I don't wish I was JMS.
The OP was the one who put the phrase "let's analyse" in the opening post. All we did was ask people who misread the run, as one poster here absolutely did by totally misinterpreting the scene where Spider-Man let's loose in a condemned building, to think again.
We responded to his joke with jokes of our own. That's not umbrage, my dude....and anytime anyone makes a joke (like the guy who said about the pasta dish with manure at the bottom) you take such umbrage.
How about you tell us your opinion on JMS' run? That's what's actually on-topic, not me, WebSlingWonder or anyone else.
Rev_Jack is right. I'm staying on topic and not engaging nonsense.

Let's stay on topic here, respond to the OP and the thread which is about JMS' Spider-Man and if it holds up, either agree/disagree. None of the rest matters. Not bashing Ditko, attacking fellow posters, or so on.
I say JMS isn't that good.
I enjoyed it. I loved that JMS was keen on giving us new villains, which really put us in a position where we didnt feel this had all done before. Coming Home is great, Back in Black is great. There’s a lot that’s not so great, too.
For the third time... I NEVER BASHED JMS. If you read my original post I literally said "JMS is a very talented writer", I just don't think his run is so great as many people say. Also, my opinion is the mystic things are out of character. If you think they are not, we're good. It's not that "I'm misreading things", because I could say the same thing about you. It's only a thread to share opinions.
