Nick Spencers Spider-Man may have gotten a bit convoluted at the end, but as a whole it remains a VERY enjoyable reprieve amidst two horrible decades. Despite obvious editorial interference he still made the best of it.

I really liked Spencer's run, he cleaned up a lot the mess he'd inherited by Slott's mishaps (rich Peter Parker, the whole bs with OMD), and made some very great emotional scenes that gave a lot of depht to the main characters. It was beautiful.
Now this same formula is necesary to clean up the trainwreck that is Zeb Wells' run.

I’d say his run falls off after issue 60. The main reason wasn’t that he couldn’t write original stories, but instead that the editorial was such a road block and wouldn’t let Spencer tell the story he actually wanted. It’s clear that the run was building up to Spencer undoing One More Day, but then in the last 14 issues it just goes off the rails and instead of OMD being retconned, it was sins past. I’m glad he retconned SP but he was clearly going for OMD but editorial just messed with him so much and he probably left the book before he wanted to

It been speculated that Nick was actually kicked off the book after the "Last Remains" arc, and someone else ghost wrote the rest. The biggest hint at this was the Zeb Wells and his team was workshopping the Beyond arc around that time. Whoever wrote the ending used Nick's notes so they could still use his name when finishing the run. Because I believe Nick was trying to fix Sin's Past and bring OMD to light for the characters. I truly hate the editors' pride

Nick spencer was the last spider-man I read after that I was officially done with spider-man comics.

@bobathebountyhunter3956 3 years ago

The main problem with this run is that it only wanted to fix old stories not to tell its new different ones

It is really hard to know what is the writer's decisions and what is the Editior's. Which is why I try not to be too harsh on comic's writers even if I disagree. It's just hard to know who to praise and who to blame sometimes

I will say that the first 60 issues of Nick Spencer's run were some of the best modern Spider-Man stories I've ever read. They were fun, thought-provoking, and it wasn't afraid to be a bit dark. Great stuff.

Well you forgot to mention that when they trapped Kindred for a while when it was Harry, Peter did called out that Norman wasn’t his father figure.

The "TASM has sucked for 20 years" people are insufferable. Spencer's run is genuinely very solid.

Spencer's run read like a list of retcons completed from a checklist.

I'm not going to attack or defend each retcon, but the result were comics that reeeeeally dragged.

I loved Nick Spencer’s run in the beginning. It felt like a breath of fresh air at the time but then as it went on, a lot of decisions were made that were…interesting to say the least

Hey LewisFilms I Enjoyed Watching Your Videos & I Gotta Say You're Amazing!😊

Honestly loved Nick Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man. I really do feel like he's the last writer that really understood the character and what readers wanted for the character. And then Zebb Wells happened...

Love how people miss Spencer as the current mess that is done by zeb.

Nick Spencer's run was a glass of tap water in an oasis... Reasonably enjoyable but VERY fortunate not to have come out in the context of various Spiderman comics from the 70s to 2000 or the first 80 or so issues of the original Ultimate Spiderman.
