    It does exactly what it says on the tin, a forum search for "The Other" would bring up a thread detailing Spider-Mans latest shitfest of a "major" story arc.

    Quesada needs to get a real freaking job.

    The Other is a storyline that's running through all the Spider-Man books right now. It includes, among other things, typically horrible Pat Lee art, Aunt May in a suit of Iron Man armor, and Spidey getting a new, very ugly costume. I'm skipping it, personally.

    The alternate covers for each issue are quite nice, though.

    It's exactly like House of M, but worse.

    "I AM SICK"
    "O rly?!"
    "Ya rly! I MIGHT DIE?"
    "O rly, what of?"
    *silence*
    "HAhAHah I am not dead! And have crappy new poawars and a stupid suit!"

    You'd *think* that the god damned clone saga would teach marvel not to mess with their stuff, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    I enoyed it quite a bit, I have the first 10 parts right. The first three were the lamest. It got significantly better after the Peter David issues. Biggest downside, Pat Lee's art is at an all time low, not really saying much because it's always bad, but every person looks like their face is melting. The highlights were the Morlun fight and Peter actually beating beaten to death. Also, the new costume won't be around for long, I'd suggest getting at least the first two issues to give it a try. good times

    There should be an ad in the back of each issue detailing which other comics were involved and the order they should be read

    Edit: Nevermind, misinterpreted what you were saying.

    It just kept cycling through 4 times in this order:

    Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman--->Marvel Knights Spiderman--->Amazing Spiderman--->Repeat

    Issue 1 of FN Spiderman was issue 1 of the Other... I don't remember the issue numbers for MK or Amazing though... they issues involved have a banner below the issue number telling you "Part ____ of 12".

    Friendly 1 - Other Part 1
    Knights 19 - Other Part 2
    Amazing 525 - Other Part 3
    Friendly 2 - Other Part 4
    Knights 20 - Other Part 5
    Amazing 526 - Other Part 6
    Friendly 3 - Other Part 7
    Knights 21 - Other Part 8
    Amazing 527 - Other Part 9
    Friendly 4 - Other Part 10
    Knights 22 - Other Part 11
    Amazing 528 - Other Part 12

    Yeah! Being bored! Nothing really happen in the first three parts, and since David is the regular writer on FSM and he's only done issues 1 and 4, I find the book doesn't have a 'feel' yet, but I'm hoping that picks up after the Other, because David's arc was the weakest so far; hopefully that won't translate into up coming issues(his suckiness I mean).
