the Spiderman comic seems to be going back and forth
(i'm talking about Earth 616, cuz i haven't read Ultimate Spiderman since all the superpowered survivors of the Ultimatum Wave go together and moved into Aunt May's house)
sometimes 616 Spiderman seems geared toward adults, but then they keep doing these stupid publicity stunts to "attract new readers" which, in the Spiderman comic, is totally unneccassarry because, the 616 Spiderman has always been the best selling title (or at least a close runner-up) out of all the Marvel titles
Spiderman getting unmasked in front of CNN cameras would have been totally fucking awesome if it had been some supervillian ripping off spiderman's mask, but Spiderman himself un-masking himself at a motherfucking press conference looked weird-as-hell
for some people the world-wide-mind-wipe looked like a total deux-ex-machina (spell??) but i liked it because it fixed the whole "everyone knows Spiderman is Peter Parker" thing, (which i believe should have been short-term anyway) and it created interesting stories where
Spiderman had to re-un-mask himself for the Fantastic Four and the Avengers and Daredevil decided that he didn't want to re-learn spiderman's secret identity and the mind-wipe thing created a several situations where people thought Peter Parker was working with/working for Spiderman
and the story where Kraven's Daughter thought Peter Parker's roomate was Spiderman where he had to borrow Daredevil's costume in order to rescue his kidnapped roommate and retrieve his Spiderman costume
but, the Spiderman title has also done some other dumb-ass shit recently
the whole "loosing his Spider-Sense" thing didn't make sense, because he would need his his spider-sense to web-sling without horredously injuring himself,
and the whole Doc Ock entering Spiderman's body should have been done as an 8-part story, where doc ock enters peter's body in an issue labeled "part 1 of 8" and then peter gets his body back in an issue called "part 8 of 8"
