4) "The Clone Saga"

The Clone Saga is a controversial storyline that lasted for years and involved multiple Spider-Man clones. It's a convoluted mess at times but also a fascinating exploration of what it means to be Spider-Man.

5) "Spider Island"

Spider Island is another crossover event that sees the entire city of New York infected with spider-powers. It's a fun, action-packed storyline that shows just how badass Spider-Man can be when he's not the only one with spider abilities.

6) "The Superior Spider-Man"

This storyline sees Doc Ock switch minds with Peter Parker, taking over his body and becoming the new Spider-Man. It's a crazy concept, but it's executed brilliantly, with some truly memorable moments.
