It might be the most controversial Spider-Man storyline ever, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get a fair shake and a fresh read when the time is right. On superiorspidertalk.com, I go back to a time some would rather forget and actually find some nuggets of good storytelling in

Here’s a case where my inability to remember certain details from the tsunami of Spider-Man published in the early/mid 1990s has led to disappointing results. With Avengers: Age of Ultron clearly being all the rage today (and for the foreseeable future – we are talking about the sequel to

Alright, true believers. After spending the past few weeks harping on all of you to tell me some of your favorite Spider-Man storylines, Chasing Amazing’s second annual Reader Request Month is here! I can’t guarantee I’ll get to cover as many suggested stories as I did last year (seriously,
