    Imma go with Scarlet Spider, especially since it seems like they're trying to revive the totems concept, which I really liked.

    Yea that's pretty much what I wan't, I already read Scarlet but I fell off Amazing Spider-Man way back during Ends of the Earth because I don't like the whole Peter Parker: Super Scientist schtick

    Depends if you want to research the background of the character or not. If you do want to then you could read Spider-man: Grim Hunt and all the issues of Amazing Spider-man involving Spider-Island or if you're feeling really adventurous the Clone Saga. If not just jump on at issue 1 of the current Scarlet Spider series. The first issue is pretty newbie friendly and the series is one of the best (if not the best) Marvel is making at the moment.

    Which ones? I can't describe any issue as "bad" till now, but there are a couple of them I didn't enjoy as much as the others.

    It's close. I voted for superior spider-man but it was only a tiny, tiny bit further than scarlet spider. I'd say that those two are tied first, venom is second then avenging spider-man third.

    C'mon MAN WHATS UP WITH THAT?

    I really enjoy Venom, Scarlet Spider, and even Superior (haven't read Avenging) still

    man that's actually a tuffie.

    I feel like I'm going to vote for the genetic vote, but I'm going to go with Scarlet Spider.

    Venom is great but I personally believe Kaine's story was taken the Spider-mythos to new levels to the point they made Spider-Man have all the powers but none of the responsibility aka Superior.

    That is just my opinion though.
