It was pretty good, except for Hammerhead, who is one of my least favorite Spider-villains ever. I think Stan Lee/early Gerry Conway really did badly by Gwen. (Or moreover, Peter acted like a jerk to her constantly to the point where I really felt sorry for her.) MJ's characterization was better. Spider-Mobile wasn't as funny as I expected. Len Wein's stories were less goofy but sometimes his narration is clunky. Oh, and Jonah gets really, really, really buffoon-like when Wein writes him.
I also watched a little bit of the new animated series but ... meh, I think other than old issues I don't know if I'm much into Spider-Man. For me, the magic is gone.
Also, I heard Steve Wacker say that anyone who didn't like the "Aunt May gets sick and Peter has to get her medicine" is too old for Spider-Man. I want to speak directly on that for a moment.
( On Aunt May )
Moving right along ... I'm letting this ruin my whole enjoyment of the comics medium far too much. So I ask you, anyone out there. Is there a trade I haven't read yet that I really should? I don't want to read superheroes at the moment. Not manga either. Goofy animals and funny stuff and teenage angst is okay, so long as it doesn't suck. Any ideas?
