A while back, I argued that a major problem with the Spider-Man comics is a lack of self-contained TPBs where new readers can find a story with a complete beginning, middle and end. I thought there was a bad comparison to Batman who had accessible TPBs like Year One, Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke, Haunted Knight, The Long Halloween, Absolution, The Cult, Arkham Asylum, Strange Apparations, Faces, Broken City, Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? and Gothic.
Recent years have seen the addition of a few self-contained Spider-Man TPBs like Learning to Crawl, Family Business and even Amazing Spider-Man 700.1-700.5 (collected as "Peter Parker: The One and Only.") While Batman's going to have a larger selection for a variety of reasons (the focus on Peter's private life means that more Spider-Man stories will be a part of larger runs) I think there's now a passable selection of good self-contained Spider-Man stories for new readers. It's essentially a problem that fixed itself.
Is there anything that bothered you about the Spider-Man comics (or films or whatever) that ended up getting resolved anyway?
