Oh, sure. Wasn't trying to imply any objectivity -- THE WORST in a figurative sense. Like: ugh. Gross. Yuck.
-Pav, who can't forget the horror...
Edit: Credit where it's due -- I liked the reboot era portrayal of Mysterio quite a lot, and Byrne's Spider-Woman series had some bright spots.

You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
"You're not the better one, Peter. You're just older."

Slott shouldn't return because he ran a significant portion of the customers off. Good writer though.
I wouldn't want him back on ASM, but there is room in his run for another Superior story, or something Otto-centric in general. For example, did the first version of Superior really delete himself?
NEVER
Maybe as editor, he does have great ideas he just really sucks as a writer.
The biggest boosts were because they did Superior, 2 new volumes (#1s), and Secret Wars, all which were big headliners and events. In particluar, the return of Peter Parker after Superior (vol3) sold extremely well despite those issues being pretty mediocre, because it was Peter returning from the dead and the return of Amazing after a long hiatus. He got a lot of help from all of this although he should be credited the idea of killing off Peter and returning him which sold well, not sure if it would have sold AS well without the re-numberings and title changes that marketed it so well.
I liked his run until Spider Island and even then he had other writers to help him write stories with him, so I wouldn't mind him not coming back.
We will never be free of Slott.
Honestly, how much impact has Slott really had in terms of legacy? Mr. Negative seems to be the only thing of his that actually stuck around (the RYV series has its fans, too, but it kinda seems to have been relatively niche overall). I think it's a safe bet that if you don't like this mini, if you just wait it out, things will reset themselves. That's the good and bad thing about Marvel/DC comics; stuff you hate will get wiped out, but so will the stuff you love.

He popularised the concept of a Spider-Verse which has resulted in a regular multiverse based Spider-events in the comics and two movies; one oscar winning and the other a historic record breaker. Superior Spider-Man was a huge hit and the concept has kept around and found its way into other media and Otto is seen more an anti hero than a straight up villain these days.
