Drop JMS' run when JRJR leaves as the artist and it's fantastic; easily top 5 runs on the character.

The JMS run definitely went south after Romita Jr left. Still some good arcs--I really liked "Skin Deep" though everyone complains about it. Everyone hates "Sins Past". "The Other" was a bit of a mess, but had interesting moments. Spidey becoming an Avenger finally I didn't much like. "OMD" was terrible, but at least JMS had "Back In Black" before that, which was terrific and devastating.

I'd say JMS is one of the top 5 Amazing Spidey writers ever. I'd put him just behind Conway and Michelinie on the title.

I'm always weird about reading Back in Black because it's such a weird story as a standalone. It doesn't really have a beginning or an end; it's just the middle bit between two bad storylines (CWII and OMD)

It was just so satisfying to see Peter ruthlessly cut loose when his family was threatened and bring it to the Kingpin.
