Make Mine Paperback Week Forty-Nine: Cringetastic Comics - The Amazing Spider-Man Sins Past (#509-#512)

The start of a new month means the start of a new theme for MMP. Departing from some of their favorite stories read during the summer, the hosts are going to talk about some truly cringeworthy comics! Up first is The Amazing Spider-Man - Sins Past by J. Michael Straczynski. In a story arc that can best be described as needlessly dramatic and shocking, these issues deserve their status as cringe-worthy due to the wild take on Spiderman and Gwen Stacy. In an inexplicable twist of past events, Gwen Stacy is somehow seduced by the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn. Now, in the present, Peter finds himself hunted down by Gwen and Norman’s kids. Does Mary Jane have what it takes to be a star actress? Will Peter ever forgive Gwen for her infidelity? Find the answers to these questions, and maybe learn more about a comic that tries too hard to be edgy, in this week's episode!
