On an interesting note, Straczynski originally intended for Peter to be the father of Gabe and Sarah but Quesada and co. shot down that idea and decided to pin it on Norman. To make matters worst, Straczynski wanted to retcon Sins Past with the One More Day storyline but Quesada wouldn’t allow it-It seems that Joe would rather retcon Peter and MJ’s marriage rather than Gwen and Norman sleeping together for some warped reason. Does Joe secretly hate Spiderman, I wonder?

John, I totally agree with your article for the most part but you should have included the Ned Leeds Hobgoblin reveal with your list as well. The fact that they had a cool Spider villain revealed as a reporter after he was killed and then replaced with a d-list character named Jason Macendale( Who sucked all over as a character) was unforgivable. Heck, we had to suffer through Macendale for most of the 90′s to make matters worst.

Duly noted.

100% dead on but, The other storyline did have one of the best moments ever in a Spidey comic; when the spider killer lame-o rips spideys eye out and ate it.

[...] top five stupid spider-man plots >> Badmouth He’s spot on in his reasons for condemning “Sins Past,” “The Clone Saga,” “The Iron Spider” and “The Other,” and while I don’t necessarily think Venom himself started out as a bad idea, I absolutely agree with his denouncements of all other Symbiotes (Carnage especially). That being said, even those awful stories simply can’t compare to the sheer Suck And Fail that is “One More Day,” contrary to his assertions, [...]
