I remember the trashy run when he found out about Gwen's kids. Trash, trash I say! While I did like it as a way to flesh out Pete, but uggh, it ended up being traaaash. Recently in all his series, he happy (to be alive again after joining The Avengers (The New Avengers ), The Other story arc (TBP should be coming out soon) and recently becoming Tony Stark's Protégé (most recent ASM), featuring Iron Spidey! Which is pretty badass looking AFTER seeing the crappy sketch) in Marvelverse, he hooked up with Kitty in USM too) Plus you know, recent marvel flicks (excluding The Punisher) has had their connections more intune with The Ultimates Universe (which isn't bad in it's own right, I mean, who can say The Ultimates suck?).
