No fights against Venom?
Son I am disappoint.

Actually I know very little about the Spider man comics, Venom is just on of my favorite villians of all time.

Yeah, it's very, very hard to narrow it down to just 5 battles. But these fights in my opinion seemed to define his character the most. So I had to cut some other legendary scraps off the list.

#5 and #1 are accurate... but the others?

As stated, no fight against Venom?  Hello?  No fight against Kraven?  Since Kraven actually "killed" Spiderman, buried him in the ground for two weeks and impersonated him around town.  Only to commit suicide when Spidey crawled out of the grave.  No Morlun (sp)  He officially killed Spiderman, ripped out his eyeball and ate it.

Piece of fucking shit list that is.

The fights with Venom were awesome. But they didn't define Spidey IMHO the way the others on this list did.

Honestly, look how good the art and storytelling was back in the day. Today's artist and writers can't hold a candle to this.

I'm not sure it must be in the top 5, but the fight vs. Magma was also pretty cool from what I remember  8)

Back in the day, Spiderman also had much more musclemass, due to doing Falconcurls.

Larsen was like a McFarlane rip off.  As seen how he took over Amazing Spiderman after McFarlane left and did the Spiderman break off.  I like Larsen, though he's no McFarlane....No one is.  Jim Lee is my second favorite penciler followed by Dale Keown.

The worst comic book "art" ever (can't remember who did this bullshit), but every single rendering of someone's face had stray hair hanging down somewhere.  From Peter, to Mary Jane, Aunt May, etc..  I am surprised that they didn't put a damn wig on Mysterio and the Vulture just so they could draw fallen hair in their face.  This is the same time that everyone - including the non super powered bystanders in the background suddenly had augemented diamond shaped calves.

I can't remember exactly when this phase occurred, but it was back when Peter's "parents" came back in the picture, when MJ was doing the smoking bit, and they were introducing the "Spider Slayers", Styxx and Stone, The Jury, The Jackel, and Kane as new villians (non of which really worked)

I believe Venom did change him, made him more wary, plus there was bigger, twisted version of him with the same powers, that didn't trigger his spider sense, and had a grudge against him.


Also, I'd like to see a Punisher write up. I remember the comics from the early 90s, in the back Punisher would teach moves to do on people...like pushing someone's head into a brick wall.

This is what EVERY artist (especially the big names) during the 90's were doing and even as a kid I couldn't stand it. EVERYBODY was jacked and muscular; people on the street, bums, old people...drove me nuts.

Larsen's artwork got better after Spider-Man. Loved his early Savage Dragon work. McFarlane and Lee are two of my favorite artists as well.  Can't beat Hulk 340 or Hush.  Top 5 Spider-Man battles seems like a lot of safe choices but can't really complain...probably should have made it a top 10 to 15.
