Fans of Babylon 5 were excited to hear, in early 2001, that J. Michael Straczynski would be taking over the writing duties for Amazing Spider-man, the flagship title for Marvel’s flagship character. I didn’t particularly care. It was Spider-man, and I was pretty sure it was impossible to screw up the character beyond help – Howard Mackie had just recovered from the dreaded clone saga. And, let’s be honest, nothing that bad could ever happen again, right?

Could it?
