12 Crappy Spidey Stoires

This was brought to my attention via e-mail and it gives me something to talk about in my blog, so here we are.

When you've been around for 45+ years like Spidey, you're bound to have some sub-par tales. Spidey has had many of theme but here are 12 that Spidey fan Alicia Ashby really tore to pieces, and by that, I mean she wrote an article that is every bit worthy of the words "ranting" or "rave." Not too many people can trash things with such a masterful hate, but Alicia does more than a commendable job. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

So what stories made the list? You'll have to see for yourself, but you can probably guess a few of them. Yes, THAT Spidey story is on the list and if you have to ask what "THAT" Spidey story is, turn in your geek card.

I may not agree with every story on this list but it was still a hilarious and interesting article, nonetheless, one that I highly recommend you read.

TALK ABOUT HATE WITH PASSION

I disagree with the stories of the "Osbourn Twins" & '"ned the Hobgoblin" (Web#29, didn't read Spidey vs Wolverine), I think I'm the only one (as far as I know) who likes "Chapter 1" & "Man-Spider vs the Queen".

Really surprised Maximum Carnage is worse to some than O.M.D??? but I do love the game based on that dumb story

The game was in many people's eye's worlds better than the crappy comic it was based off of.

Back to Red & Blue

You gotta love Spider-Man's black costume. Its simple, sleek design has been a fan favorite for more than 20 years. It looks just as cool in the cartoons as well. As sweet a costume as it is, I'm always happy to see the web-head return to the classic red & blue tights, which is what he does in the Spectacular Spider-Man episode "Intervention." This episode moves at a slower pace than others but considering the heart of it is Peter's inner conflict with the symbiote, I think moving slower was the right choice here. This episode was written by Greg Weisman, the show's producer. He hasn't written an episode since "Survival of the Fittest," the series premier episode, so it really was a pleasure to see him return to the writing helm. The good news is that aunt May, despite suffering from a heart attack in the previous episode is doing fine. The bad news is, the bill is pretty huge and this puts Peter in a foul mood. Mary Jane, Gwen and Liz all tr...

Marvel Wants to Hear From YOU!

In the letter page of Amazing Spider-Man #565, Spidey editor Steve Wacker filled the page with nothing but negative letters from readers that hate Brand New Day. Who says Marvel doesn't listen to the fans? And what's more, Mr. Wacker has even asked us to write in and tell them how we feel. Can you believe that? It takes class to run nothing but angry letters and a couple of those to the right are pretty nasty. My mother actually suggested I write to the editor and state my feelings on the molestation of Spider-Man in ASM. I'd been meaning to write them, but I just never sat down to do so. With the editor of the Spidey books kindly saying that the letter's page is "the place to vent," I think the time has finally come for me to express myself. I don't know if it will get printed since I've stopped reading ASM, but if they take my letter and many others that are outraged by BND to heart, then that's all that matters. Dear ASM Staff, Do you know what ...

OMIT Part 1 Reactions

22 years ago, Peter Parker married Mary Jane Watson in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21. Many fans rejoiced. But not everyone was filled with glee. A man by the name of Joe Quesada thought that Spider-Man had fallen off track when he had gotten married and therefore, was not a character fans could relate to anymore. Even before Joe became the editor in chief of Marvel Comics, he had made known his disdain for the Spider-Marriage. In 2007, Joey Q had finally set out to end what kept him awake at night (I'm not making this up, he seriously lost sleep due to the marriage of fictional characters) and ended Peter and MJ's wedding in the four part story called One More Day. OMD is widely regarded as one of the worst Spider-Man stories ever printed, if not the worst. Calling it an abomination sin would be a grave understatement. What's worse is that OMD led into Brand New Day and while there are fans that say BND is the best Spidey has been in years, you've also got fans that v...
