Well I've finally read Spider-Man comics all the way up to OMD. What are the stories from BND that are worth picking up?

I thought they were mostly crap honestly. You ship a title 3 times a month with rotating creative teams and the product will usually be crap. ASM picks up again in the early 600s
New ways to Die
the Anti-Venom mini where Eddie's dating the cute as fuck junkie
American Son's pretty good too despite reusing the Sins Past/Remembered garbage
Was there a single story there that couldn’t have been told with the marriage?
No, but Slutt is a shit writer anyway
No, OMD added nothing of value. That being said, they managed to squeak out some really good stories:
Snow #555-557, Papparazzi #559-561, New Ways to Die #568-573, Flashbacks #574, Family Ties #575-576, Unscheduled Stop #578-579, Return of the Spot #589, 24/7 #592-594, American Son #595-599, #600, Gauntlet/Grim Hunt #612-637)
...you created this exact thread a week ago and I wrote a long-ass reply already
>Papparazzi
Arguably, this one couldn't be told during the marriage, since Peter and MJ not knowing each other during that period is a part of the plot. Not that this arc has much value anyway.
Early 600s are good but that whole Raptor arc really put me too sleep but it picks up again once Gauntlet starts and leads into Grim Hunt.
Superior Spider-man
Remember how the incels collectively lost their shit when they found out Otto kissing MJ ?
New Ways to Die
The Gauntlet
Grim Hunt
Big Time
Ends of the Earth
Spider-Island
Superior Spider-Man
Superior Foes Of Spider-Man
There are other a number of adjacent titles that are better, but these were the ones from pretty much the same line (Amazing) that I really liked.
>Otto Raped MJ!!
Oh yeah, those were fun times
>Ends of the Earth
Nah
>Remember how the incels collectively lost their shit when they found out Otto kissing MJ ?
Wait why would incels get mad? Aren't they the ones who think women are nothing but holes to fuck?
Their self insert fantasy turned into NTR.
I thought it was pretty goody I’d drawn out a bit and it made the sinister six look good and strong vs the avengers. It’s not going to top any top 10 lists anytime soon, but it’s worth reading.
It still could have worked. You have to do some more extensive rewriting, but you could still do it.
It needed to be shortened by a year minimum other than that it was fine
Stuff by Joe Kelly and zeb Wells
Avoid Guggenheim like the plague
No, but I remember everyone shitting on the series because it was legit awful. But that's okay because Bendy revived it and made its own spin off in another universe, who already has to crawl to Peter to help him.
>I remember everyone shitting on the series because it was legit awful
Superior was like the one good thing to come out of Slott's run. What are you talking about?
Then why did it start tanking after the first issue and Bendy having to go on rants because he couldn't take criticism.
>I proclaim this is the future, you can't change this
>Months later its gets the reset button
Because slott got his giggles being a Twitter troll, he lied constantly about lots of shit
This sequence alone was way better than anything in Superior.
Big Time was really good
>Slowly make her into a bad guy because that really pissed her off
>Then becomes neutral
>Then becomes kinda good
>It wasn't the fact that Otto punched me and put me in jail that made me hate you peter, its b-because I couldn't remember you ;_;
My god that reset could have been handled better to say the least.
>Then why did it start tanking after the first issue
It didn't. Go look at comichron backlogs; it stayed in the top 10 for the entire run.
Because a good idea that wasn't executed well, but Marvel seems to have that issue these days.
Almost all of Spider-Man from BND up to and including Origin of the Species is good. Not great, but good.
Spider-Island was pretty good.
>not Anti Venom
>not the return of Kaine Parker
Granted he squandered Anti Venom twice, but Superior Spider-Man was two fucking years of “The Die is Cast” and so on. The best thing to come out of Superior was the henchmen posting that was going on on Yea Forums at the time.
With all the recommendations for Superior Spider-man you should also look at Superior Spider-man Team-up & Avenging Spider-man starting at 15.1 (which was later rebranded as Superior Spider-man Team-Up). They're part of the same storyline but much better written.
In all honesty the Superior spider-man team up book was better than the main title
>Months later its gets the reset button
You had to have been an idiot to think it was permanent.
Also didn't it last a year?
Because the whole buildup for the Superior Six storyline went to shit in the span of a single issue
...so they can wrap everything up in Superior in time to bring back asm for the movie.
