Marvel is a convoluted mass of bastardizations twisted into other bastardizations. A mess of a corporation trying whatever they can to get a few more sales, and they have absolutely no interest in writing a good story. They don't care about what will keep their corporation alive in 20 years, they only really care about rehashes and gnawing that last scrap of meat off of spiderman and all the other characters bones.

on the positive side Stan Lee and various other great writers have come out with dozens of great ideas. Spiderman's underlying plot is so perfect that no matter how many times they rehash it into a movie, it will still kick ass.

I have skimmed through many of the earlier spidermans and read all of the new ones. Sufficed to say that whoever is writing the storyline right now is a business man and not a writer of any level of skill. Spiderman himself in one of the issues said that he was at one point in like 5-10 different comic series simultaneously because everything sells better with spiderman in it.... He's in something like 2 avengers teams, and he replaced johnny blaze in the fantastic four or whatever the f*** they are calling it now.

In short, marvel can burn for all I care. They have absolutely no interest in putting original stories out there and the stories they do put out there get jumbled into the marvel universe and combined and then spiderman joins the team for whatever reason... If you want anything decent from a comic book these days you need to look to japan or korea.
