I remember that when I stoped reading it, Peter Parker had a clone of himself, and it was so weird, I just decided to give up on spider-man. Then on 2002 I watched the movie - wtf? Where was Gwen? What was MJ doing over there? Uh, the name was Gwen, right? Spider-man's first girlfriend?
aww man thats a shame! you're missing out on some gems now!
Recent additions to my increasing comic collection include:
Superman:Birthright....a damn good series that starts where the Smallville TV series would end (ie Clark finishing High School) & when the 1st Superman movie would take place.................roughly the 7 year gap of Superman's life. Quite a good read & only on issue 8 so not too late to jump on that band wagon!
Ultimate whatever...............ok sounds odd but wait.......Marvel decided the time was right to "reinvent" a whole load of their superheros for the 21st century.......the result........ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN.....i dare you to read it & not get hooked, ULTIMATE X-MEN.....absolutely superb art & a cracking reinvention of the X-Men...................THE ULTIMATES..........quite possibly my fave of the 3, Captain America, the HULK, HAWKEYE & a few of the other former Avengers/Defenders get a nice overhaul.........& just recently started ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR which i've yet to read but will get round to it!
Other than that you've also (I'm assuming) missed out on Frank Millers superb collection of SIN CITY stories.......the best comic series I have read since either the Dark Knight Returns or Watchmen!
