    Does UU Peter really seem more "together" to you, like as a person? He's still an outsider nerd that hotties (MJ, Gwen, Kitty) flock to because of his personality, he still fights for the little guy and never wins-wins himself... insecure, guilt-ridden, etc.

    Having splashes of Modern or even UU is a nice nod in places but Marvel Entertainment knows what made the characters popular on a wide scale.
    Not saying Feige doesn't know what the roots are. MCU is definitely a mix of both classic + vibes from UU.

    Folks here who are parents, do you give your kids the comics you liked as a kid only? Are you perhaps biasing them against other versions because that's not what their parents (you) like? Has anyone started their kids (or just even older friends who were curious about comics after watching the movies) on something from the last 20 years instead, and they hated it, and then you gave them 1960s stuff and they were like yeah that's more our jam? Just curious. Not questioning anyone's parenting skills, natch.

And another veteran of the Sinister Six, Mysterio, is up to no good, in league with a gang of Spider-Man’s oldest villains! This Masterworks volume also includes a double-sized showdown with the man called Rapier! Collecting SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #43-55 and ANNUAL #2.
