I’d argue that this is one of the reasons why Spidey is one of the most popular super-heroes. Besides super-heroing, his problems are fundamentally RELATABLE.
Another reason, of course, is stuff like this:
(this is after it took the entirety of the Avengers to bring down one-fifth of the Phoenix Force, and here’s the webhead taking out HALF of it, single-handedly… er, single-mouthedly?)
It’s not QUITE decades, but being in Europe as well and having to wait for the comics to get published here (plus about half a year where my eyes got fritzed and I couldn’t actually use them for any prolonged amount of time), I’m a bit out of date as well.
