 **Spider-Man** is a Western comic franchise created by Marvel with a few other things attached to it. The franchise has been in a near-constant decline starting in the mid-2000s and continuing until today, with no hope in sight.\\
 The focus is on a super-hero named <dfn>Spider-Man</dfn> and his pretty awful life...despite his awful life, he does his best to use his powers to help others.
 The Raimi Spider-Man films are among my favorites, though I haven't quite warmed up to the comics.

 I think the Raimi films depict it better.
-Now to move onto the rest...I should note that Spider-Man is currently ‘on-hold’. The reason being that I got bored and annoyed.

 Let me elaborate: by that point, I had already seen some pretty serious issues with the storytelling that I just couldn't get over. The most egregious one was the constant return of classic villains. Doc Ock is probably the most annoying...I honestly don't care what anyone tells me (not even the comic) because he //died in that nuclear explosion//, okay? No matter how they try to explain it, I think that he's already beyond the point of no return.\\
-The other issue is that the combat just isn't very good and it gets repetitive extremely fast. Actually, I'm reminded of [[lb:Persona#Persona 5]] here. In both Persona and here I wanted to avoid the fighting as much as possible, so I could get back to the actual fun part: the social interactions.\\

-The other other issue, which I think is much bigger, was that at some point the comic just started assuming you had been reading The Spectacular Spider-Man as well. The moment that really threw me for a loop was when I saw Gloria Grant((:fn:>They weren't even trying with her name, by the way. It's very obvious.)) as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary...because I hadn't seen //how// that happened at all. I then read through The Spectacular Spider-Man, finding out that //that// was where it was explained. And that wasn't a fun experience either, since Spectacular has worse writing and (at least at this stage) is even more combat-heavy than Amazing.

 I know that some of this can be solved by skimming, but I'm fundamentally allergic to skimming, so I took a break instead. I don't know when I'll get back to it.

 That is to say...if I wanted to read it //again//, I probably wouldn't read it all over again. I'm not even sure how I'd pick out ‘favorites’ because the story that I actually like is often spliced thru multiple chapters.
-Ah! I almost forgot that I wanted to explain something else. My plan was to stop reading Amazing sometime before One More Day so I could jump into Spider-Girl instead. That plan is still in place, though it would require reading up to Issue 406 which is...a bit of a distance from #182.

 I don't think the artwork is super great either, though I can’t complain either because it's the 60s (well, 70s now).
