Jeez, Spiderfan.org doesn't work for photos anymore? How long have I been asleep?

That's a great issue. Spidey kicked Namor's soggy ass. t:
...and ASM #192 being a CLOSE second.
This is one of my most fave contemporary(ish,) Spider-Man issues.
In one single issue, Paul Jenkins managed to capture everything in which I believe Spidey is the most interesting multi layered super hero out there. It shows how varied Spider-Man stories can be.
The ish is about Peter going to a baseball game, and no Spider-Man, no action.
The whole ish flashes back the last baseball game Ben took Pete to before he died, and how Pete wasn't really into it at 1st.
Eventually we go on to see one of the many lessons Ben taught Peter, about perserverance, faith, and to keep trying.
I very much felt that Jenkins had a real ability, to show what Ben gave to Peter's character, his sense of humour, and how to be a man.
This was so refreshing, as opposed to he usual 'with great power,' same ol' flash back plot device.
This ish really brought a tear to my eye when I 1st read it.
I like the chick with the tremendous boobs in the top left corner.
That's Humberto Ramos art, correct?
Lol
Yep. he only did the cover though, the interiors were done by Mark Buckingham. I love Ramos' artwork, but his style is not really suitable for a story like this.
I think Buckingham works really well with these 'slice of life,' stories
That's okay. (It's only taken several months for me to get to this....)It was good, but I wish Ben Reilly would have gone out with more of a bang instead of being impaled in his civies. He should have died in costume fighting Green Goblin beside Peter.
I prefer the first part of Revelations with the bonding that happens between Pete and Ben in Peter's attic. That has some of my favorite clone saga moments. They really were like brothers by the end.
PS: Oh and apologies to Cullen.
Either ASM #31-33, or ASM#39-40. It was a huge turning point in spider-man, and the first comic from stan's run that i bought.
All time favorite issue? Hmmmm I had think about this for awhile and its definitly coming from left field
ASM V2 #50(491)
I dunno just everything about the issue was great for me. The interaction of Peter and MJ throughout the whole issue alone wins it for me. They both just happen to run into each other in an airport in Denver of all places. Then some terroists coming in to kill Dr. Doom at the same airport, with Captain America as his bodyguard. Peter's interaction with Cap, going back and forth to helping him fight then taking break and sitting down to talk with MJ about their relationship. And then at the end of it all, Peter and MJ end up back with each other. Plus JR JR's art in this issue was on the right on the spot, especially on the full art page of Peter and MJ hugging towards the end.
