The F.A.C.A.D.E. arc has always stuck in my head for some reason. I laughed my ass off when I first saw it and it's still funny now.Originally Posted by Alan2099
Yeah, but this follow up to it was great.

"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

Yeah I recently read it now I understand the joke. But at least that arc made Betty cool and reintroduce her training from the time when she infiltrated The Foreigner organization Originally Posted by exile001

the single worst reveal in spider-man history was in "Spider-Man #97"
Aunt May was revealed to be alive and the first step in peter's degradation into a hollowed out husk of a character with nothing left to do began.
Everyone knows it should have been baby May that was found and rescued but Marvel are cowards and refuse to let Peter grow

I actually LIKED the reveal that Sarah was one of the two tactical-ninjas fighting Spider-Man in Sins Past. Pete knocks her down, yanks the mask off, then she sucker punches him and runs off while he's standing there like an idiot. Originally Posted by Celgress

Honorable mention for best reveal: Aunt May discovering Peter's identity after he won his fight with Morlun. It was seriously one of those moments where you realize things are going to change. And it did. It's one of many things I wish they would actually bring back.
Best reveal: The swap between Peter and Otto. You really didn't see it coming. But when you re-read it, it makes absolute sense. Then two issue later Peter actually dies and you realize this is the Spider-Man we're going to have for a while. I remember the solicits at the time and the speculation as to what makes Peter "Superior".
By that token it would be pretty easy to say the worst reveal was that SpOck beat Osborn with his own OMD, but I'm going to instead go with the reveal that Aunt May is still alive. It was the first real indication that Marvel absolutely refused to let Peter grow up and move on. Even more annoying is the universe where baby May lived ended up spawning one of the more popular spider characters in quite some time.

The majority probably won't agree, but a personal favorite would be Brock's revelation to Felicia concerning Pete's relationship status

yeah that's gotta hurt cause prior to the reveal Felicia was trying to find Peter after she came back from Europe hoping to rekindle their relationship. She went to his old apartment then she stop by the apartment of Jonathan Caesar only to miss him Originally Posted by K7P5V

One of the best was Harry’s “Gotcha!” when it was revealed he was Kindred. Alongside everything it hinted at, it was great.
The worst was the later revelation is was actually AI Harry using the twins to blah blah blah. No OMD addressing for another 10 years.

The "Gotcha!" thing is so perfect (JMD, I believe). It's childish and playful and friendly and should totally undermine the seriousness of a situation but somehow makes it even darker. It plays so well into the contradictory mess Harry's mind is. Originally Posted by your_name_here

For me, this will always be the best reveal in the series. Not a popular opinion, I am sure, but this was one of the most Peter Parker type of circumstances ever done.Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
