This was an interesting discussion on the old board.

The question is simple. What are controversial opinions you hold on Spider-Man?

Here were some of mine...

David Micheline wrote a lot of weak Spider-Man stories. He also never hit the heights of Lee, Conway, Stern, Bendis, JMS or Slott.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 is the most important comic book published in the last twenty years. Brian Michael Bendis is Marvel's most significant writer since Stan Lee.

Writers should be more concerned about leaving the franchise intact for their successors.

A major factor in complaints about the current "feel" of the Spider-Man comics is that the character is no longer written mostly by baby boomers who dominated the series from 1972 to 2007.

Under most circumstances, it would be a really bad idea to go back to Amazing Spider-Man as a 22 page monthly.

Joe Quesada has been better for Spider-Man than Jim Shooter.

Mark Millar's twelve issue run of Marvel Knights Spider-Man is exceptional. As is James Owsley/ Mark Bright's Spider-Man VS Wolverine.

Peter Parker is more important than Spider-Man.
