Check them all out below!

The greatest superhero story ever told comes to a startling conclusion!
Alpha and the Superior Spider-Man team up to fight ZETA!
The Marvel Universe ends HERE*!
* Marvel Universe may not actually end

• The Punisher and Spider-Man have never seen eye to eye, but this is the Superior Spider-Man! What does Frank Castle think about Spider-Man’s new, hard edged attitude?

Hello Josh. I want to begin reading Spider-man (really like the character, but I am overall pretty new to comics) but i really don’t like the superior spider-man thing. the Octopus stuff. So, where should I begin? I know the basic idea and most of the villains. Which is the best jumping point with the best (or good) art and writing?

Thanks.

  Hi Ratman! I can’t blame you for being reluctant about jumping into this whole Superior Spider-Man storyline, but there are plenty of other great stories you can read in the meantime (Peter WILL be back…eventually!). I would recommend beginning with JMS’ run. “Coming Home” is a great jumping on point, and all of the stories which followed require pretty much no background knowledge of the character. John Romita Jr.’s artwork is also incredible. However, if you’re looking for something a bit more recent, “Big Time” – and the stories which follow – by Dan Slott are quite good too. Oh, and if you’re looking for an awesome Green Goblin story (with plenty of other classic villains), but “Marvel Knights Spider-Man” by Mark Millar and Terry Dodson! I hope that helps a little anyway. I may just put an article together with some reading recommendations for you guys sometime over the next few weeks. :)
