I was into spiderman when i was a kid back in the 70s you know the dark and edgy years, norman osborne taking LSD and becoming the green goblin, which lost them the "comic code" seal i seem to recall. the death of gwen stacy, i still have that issue somewhere and it was really one of the most powerful and "adult" comics i read as a kid.
Then i dunno if i just outgrew it or the run just started to suck but i got out of spiderman in the 80s, maybe picked up a few specials in the 90s and was vaguely aware of the clone saga but never was much interested in it or read the books.
90s was about image and the maxx, gen 13, team 7, wetworks, spawn, course many of those titles quickly lost steam as the creaters got too big and decided to go off and do other stuff and let people make their books by commitee, i mean really todd, walance, and others you had a killer art style, some interesting ideas going on and some cool characters, and oh well think i will go make toys and go back to wherever it was and look for new aspiring artists etc to get into a bloated comics field.
Course there was the old standby batman, which recovered pretty decent from the silly 60s and 70s runs.
And then we got books like cerebus, bone, and others that in some reguards were 100 times more interesting than the comics out of the main houses or main players in the industry.
