I do recommend the original Ultimate Spider-Man series. I didn't like the ending (tied into a big dumb Ultimate Universe crossover) but it was a book I always looked forward to getting the next trade of.

Spider-Island was pretty cool and it has gotten alot better since Dan Slott took over even got to meet him and sign one of my comics
Many thanks guys for your suggestions, as you're both people who know their stuff rather well to my understanding.
So the trades I should be looking to add to my short-list are:
  • Maximum Carnage
  • Spider-Island
  • (Original) Ultimate Spider-man


@Loophole: What would you recommend specifically from Joe Michael Straczynski (JMS) dude?
