It's really hard to say. One side of me wants to say, "Just jump in!" but I don't want you to get turned off, as you may get. So get any issue of the current "Sensational Spider-man" and you can try to get "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," but get any issue after issue 4 of it. I also would say, if you can, get "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1," but NOT 2, 3, and 4. Hope that helps.
