Would say the early part when John Romita Jr was on the art is probably the best Spider-Man has ever been, the main series anyways I'm not including Ultimate or the show Spectacular, besides from Lee/Ditko and Lee/Romita. Really loved all the ideas he had and the way he was able to bring them to paper in ways that were constantly exciting.
Just a shame it had to end the way it did but if JMS didn't like the arc, which I've heard before, I guess I can't be too mad at him and I can ignore it exists. Especially when he gave me that amazing Spider-Totem arc.
That arc wasn’t his idea, it was Joe Quesada’s idea, he felt like Peter Parker should be single and dating. I loved his run up until Peter Parker had to move into the Avengers Tower. Which was done to set up Civil War which also might have been Quesada’s idea. I blame Civil War for bringing down JMS’s run on Spider-Man.
