Spider infestation: At Silver Bullet Comic Books, Spider-Man artist Terry Dodson addresses the sheer volume of Spider-books:

"I wouldn't do a Spider-Man story if it was just OK, and there is too much Spider-Man stuff out there - but there is a little film called Spider-Man 2 coming out in June and I believe Marvel wants plenty of material out there for people to buy.

"However, Mark's come up with a great story for Spider-Man and it's worth working on."
