I know I'm Mister List lately, but I'm trying to celebrate the end of Superior by listing the best and worst post-2000 Spidey stories, and truth is, I ain't read em all. So here's what I have, potentially. Help is appreciated:
Best:
Straczynski's Doc Ock story
The ish where May finds out in Straczynski's run
Jenkins' Venom story
Millar's big 12-issue run (aka Shush)
Superior, of course (prob the best)
I rather liked whatsit... the end of the whole Menace run. The Election?
Aguirre-Sacasa's side of Civil War
First 25 issues or so of Ultimate Spidey
Worst:
Amazing during Civil War
One More Day, One More Day
One Moment In Time
New Ways To Die -- Anti-Venom, come on, seriously, the [composite word including 'f*ck'], I ******* hated that story
Brand New Day
Anything that had to do with Spidey in the Avengers. Okay, I hate him in the Avengers. Sue me.

Re: Spider-Man lists for the List Guy
"Shed" (The Lizard component of The Gauntlet) was good. And there was some cracking stuff post-Big Time in the run-up to Superior.
Have you read the new "OGN" yet? Family Business by Mark Waid and James Robinson? Painted by Gabriele Dell'Otto. Standalone and possibly a bit glitchy with continuity, but fresh and fun.

Re: Spider-Man lists for the List Guy
I enjoyed most of the JMS stuff, altho the whole Spider-totem thing became a bit hokey. Doctor Doom going through a metal detector being a particular highlight.
Superior was what it claimed to be.
Remender's Venom run was a riot (apart from the hellish cross over)
The vast majority of ultimate spidey
And the emergence of Miles Morales (altho i don't really want to see him in the 616)
Oh, and Spider-men - that was a joy.
One More Day put me off the main titles for years though - Superrior bought me back. We will see if Amazing keeps me.

Superior Foes is technically Spider-Man isn't it?

Re: Spider-Man lists for the List Guy
Yeah, I like all of JMS run, especially the arc where he comes out to Aunt May.
I'm pretty sure this was post 2000: Slott's Spider-Man and Human Torch mini-series. Kind of gets lost now that it's not "Wow, I WISH Slott would get to write ASM" and instead it's "Oh, more Spider-Man written by Slot. Huh." But it was quite good.

Re: Spider-Man lists for the List Guy
What about that series (I think it was Sensational Spider-Man) that dealt mostly with the actual fallout of all the major changes before, during, and after Civil War. Spidey dealing with Jonah/Robby, etc. Peter having to actually deal with being "out". That book was home to some of my favorite Spider-Man stories EVER...and people look at me like I've grown a third head when I mention it.
