Maximum Carnage is conciderd a good story?!.....really?....

I'd say Slott's Spider-island....people say it's one of Slott's best......c'mon....people getting Spider-Powers and then becoming giant spiders??....it screams lazy writing.

Spiderman's Origin story arc.

(I've always hated everyone's origins though)

My wife agrees, she hates that story she said it was very silly and she did not like how the characters reacted to having powers.

What about the fact that Spidey has one female villain... who is turned into a giant spider and then killed.

For no real reason.

She thought that was silly also. Just for the record she also does not like the new direction of the book and wanted to cancel it after issue 1, I convinced her to try it longer and it has since been canceled.

To gain insight on her she is a die hard fan. She has a car with Spider-man floor mats, steering wheel, air freshener, and hanging spider-man. Her car is also in the Spider-man colors. We have a comic room that has over 50 Spider-man toys (and other characters) and we nearly have all of the Spider-man comics (we are a few short on the Amazing run).

She will not get anymore Spider-man items until Peter is back, she says that she finds the new direction offensive and disgusting.

You lucky SOB. She is a boss on this recent direction :P

I agree, I feel like a lucky man that does not deserve what I have. She also gave me a wonderful boy.

Spider-Island.One of the most mediocre story arcs ever.The whole idea is just too simple and it just has lazy writing all over it.

How is that lazy? The premise of the story is that everyone gets spider-powers and it goes horribly wrong and Spider-man has to stop it. Calling it lazy doesn't even make any sense.

It's complete crap, but that's still better than most of Slott's work. He had one half-decent arc (Big Time), that's literally it. The rest has been an exercise in awful.

C'mon dude.As an idea it's silly.I wanted a serious approach to this.A pandemia from witch everyone gets spider-powers?.....and the Jackal & Queen are involved?....noooo thank you.

The pandemia idea ia old and overused.It his last big story arc before ASM 700.He was already thinking about introdusing Peter-Pus.

I like your wife.....(that came out wrong....DONT WORRY,i have a girlfriend!)

OMD.

I have to admit that I liked Superior Spider-Man at first, but the last few issues have bored me. I actually used to be a big supporter of the book, but it's gotten really bland. I stopped reading at issue 14. I thought Dan Slott knew what he was doing, but I was wrong. It's mostly just Spider-Man brutally beating (and even killing) villains. That was an interesting idea at first, but now it's just repetitive.I can think of other interesting directions that the story can go, but it hasn't gone anywhere, so I've officially dropped the title. I also won't buy another new issue of Spider-Man until Peter returns.

Marvel knows just how pissed off people are that Peter's dead, his relationship with MJ is no more, and so on, but they just don't seem to care. They just keep pissing on one of their best characters. Screw you, Marvel--Spider-Man deserves better.

The original Hobgoblin arc between ASM 238-275(more or less). Hobby just never became a serious threat IMO.

Wow.......That was powerfull

Also,the thing that intelligent people DOESNT seem to see the difference in the behaviour of Peter and SpOck is so f*cking annoying.I picked up the 2 Spider-related issues this Wednesday and read them......Kaine acts stupid.Like the rest of the spider supporting characters.I dont Blame Yost,he isnt in charge of the Spider universe.His writing was excellent.As always.The story was dum,and lead to nowhere,and we are where we were....noone knowing who SpOck is really.Carly is moving slower than a sleeping turtle,and we get nothing out of this.

This is useless.

@punyparker: Yeah, 238 had an awesome cover but then he never came close to how bad-@$$ he looked on it.

Oh yeah...

Was that the one where the Hobgoblin gave the Goblin formula first to one of his henchmen and had that guy fight Spidey first?
