11 Essential Storylines To Read If You Love Spider-Man

3. The Death Of Jean DeWolff

One of the best and most important Spider-Man storylines to take place completely outside of the main Amazing Spider-Man series was The Death of Jean DeWolff, which was featured on the pages of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man.

It's one of the most down-to-earth Spider-Man tales out there, featuring Spidey ruthlessly trying to solve the murder of his close friend, police captain Jean DeWolff. During this time, we are reminded that superpowers or not, Peter Parker is still very much human, as we see his emotions get the best of him. In fact, it's implied that he would have beat the culprit, Sin-Eater, to death had Daredevil not intervened.

Speaking of Daredevil, we also get to see him and Spidey go toe-to-toe at one point, something fans of both characters can get behind. So, at the end of the day, this is one of the single most enthralling storylines to ever appear in not only Spider-Man comics, but Marvel comics in general.
