Jim Zub posts to X from his appearance this week at MCM London Comic Con, "*Spider-Man cosplayer runs over to my table. Asks for a selfie. We take one.* As he walks away- "Your Spider-Man sucks!"

Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr relaunched Amazing Spider-Man from Marvel Comics over two years ago, after both spending a number of years working on the character (though John a little more than Zeb). With guest artists such as Ed McGuinness, Romita drew the lion's share of the run. It hasn't been without controversy, it kicked off with Spider-Man hated for some unknown crime, with Peter Parker and Mary Jane split, and MJ living with Paul – and suddenly having kids.The series brought back former Zeb Wells bad guys, a Dark Web, killed off Ms Marvel, saw MJ get powers of her own as a Gang War kicked off, had Peter Parker fighting himself, courtesy of the returning Green Goblin, Norman Osborn. Now their run is coming to an end with a final Tombstone confrontation. But it seems that some so-called fans want to get a few final licks in…
