Sins Past decimated the character of Gwen Stacy and drop kicked Norman Osborn...
Other decimated 40 years of Spider-man history...
...I beg to differ on your assessment
Edited to add....and as bad as SP was, and it was, there was actually strong dialogue sprinkled about.....the "Other" had nothing!!
So you prefer a well written character assassination story that destroys 40 years of history to a bad written story with no purpose, and changed nothing. I must admit by those statements its hard to determine the lesser of two evils, but Sins Past drastically retconned the death of Gwen Stacy.
Faults of Sins Past-
The "why she was targeted" changes from Norman tormenting Peter to Norman getting revenge on his babies momma. And know Spiderman goes from "Argg, its my fault she died. I promise to do better and always have this memorie to remind me that with great power comes great responsibility." to "Oh, well he only targeted you because you hid his kids from him. Pfft, thats not my fault". Also, now MJ's a lying idiot, and Gwens a ****. Also, another damn unneccessary Goblin is created. Honestly, how many of them are there now? Thats all I can think of for now.
faults of the other-
-well, first and foremost the whole spidergod thing seems to be shoved in our face more than usual.
-Morlun was the main badguy.
That was a bad idea, since no one cares about him. He and Hush can go take the 666 bus to losersville and rot for all I care.
- Spiderman ate a guys head. Spiderman gained stingers...Yeah, nice one marvel. Give a power like that to a guy who doesn't kill people. Also, now he can see in the dark, but I'm sure his spidersense more than makes that power a bit useless. Also, now he can do stuff that he already could do. Great!

-He didn't seem to improve to me. I mean, wasn't he suppose to evolve. Maybe move faster, lift more than 15 tons?
-Also, Nothing was explained like: How did Morlun return? Why was Spiderman dying? Who was that thing that was created from Peters shedded skin?
-Lastly,Why doesn't Peter care about the answer to these questions more?
So by comparing the faults of both stories which do you think is worse now?
