B/C.

Really enjoyed a lot of it, but the problem for me is that ending of arcs/stories felt very rushed (most notably with the Hobgoblin War arc). I remember reading the first issue of Big Time and thinking "Wow! There is a lot of comic there!" and sometimes the sheer amount of things happening in an issue is great, but sometimes it just felt like a steam-train at a fast pace with little space for quieter, reflective moments like you'd get during the JMS run.

Overall, enjoyable and fun, but maybe not the Spider-Man stories I'll be re-reading over and over again. Must say that #698 was EXCELLENT though.

I just re-read the first two arcs of Slott's run and I'm enjoying it. I think it is going to get bogged down with Spider-Island soon though. Peter joining the FF was a fun read.

I'd love to see Slott write the FF. He seems to have a good hold on the family dynamic and the fun it brings. I almost feel like it would have been great to see him do both Spider-Man and FF at the same time. I bet they would have been good reads.

I think you hit a lot of my issues on the head. His run started with a lot going on. Then things never settled down again. It was like each arc had to change something or have some lasting effect on the title. We never just got down to earth stories.

Whenever Peter comes back I think Slott needs to settle the title down a bit and just tell some street level stories. Stop with all the over the top events and world ending events.

If you haven't read Slott's great Spidey/Torch mini-series "I'm With Stupid", do so stat! It is routinely (and rightfully) praised as one of his best works----you probably already have read it but, on the off chance you have not, you will love it as it basically gives you what you asked for above!
