Does a filler issue count that is separate from the actual run? 

This was a filler issue for Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man that still resonates with me today.   Seems like a regular "battle book".  Worth a read for the twist at the end and perhaps a tissue or two.

Great story, and proof that not all modern comics are bad.

To me it reads like a contemporary take on the classic  ‘The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man’.

Taylor’s a very good writer.

If we’re doing stand alone stories....I’ll add FF 285

I've been following this thread and buying a lot of the books people have mentioned, that sound intriguing and I haven't already read, from MCS.

Great choice.  One of Byrne's best and most powerful stories. And, very sad.
