Spider-Man has always been one of the most popular superheroes, but the recent box office success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has put the hero at the top of the world. As the face of Marvel Comics, Spider-Man has had some of the biggest names in comics writing stories for him, both as part of Marvel’s main continuity and alternate universes. There are, of course, some hiccups, like the infamous “Clone Saga” or “One More Day”, but a character like Spider-Man doesn’t get to be as popular as he is without many great stories to balance out the bad.
