Books like Ultimate Spider-Man, Volume 6: Venom

I think I have a wee crush on the Bendis Spider-Man series. I've really enjoyed his interpretation of the character and he does an excellent job of showing the reader the story rather than simply telling it.I like that Peter Parker is an extremely introspective character with easily recognizable personality quirks. Parker is written in such a way that any reader should be able to identify and sympathize with him, which means that it's easy to either imagine oneself into his shoes (or unitard) or think of him as a best friend.While this series is a little dated at this point (both the artistic style and story details like pop-culture references and technology are very reminiscent of the late 90s) it's not distracting or off-putting in such a way that detracts from the plot. I think this could easily stand the test of time for another ten years before it starts to feel "old hat."
