Amazing Spider-Man #30 ("Transformations, Literal and Otherwise" and the beginning of the JMS run) has to be one of the cleanest transitions between eras of Spider-Man I've ever seen. The opening with Aunt May leaving the voicemail and Pete just needing to get out and vent...oh, it's just so beautiful.
I got that issue when I was deployed. I was deployed a lot over the years. Comics were, are and will always be my go to from reality. That book hit me hard.
Man, so many complicated feelings about that Sept 11 Spider-man issue. In hindsight it feels a bit overly jingoistic, but at the time it was hard to overstate how impactful the issue was.
