      Editing … Uh... I dunno, I think Marvel works differently than DC, so it's not really about graphical novels, but more about arcs. The most famous are the Black Suit arc, that introduces venom and the Clone arc. I haven't seen the originals of any tho, but the Ultimate remakes of the arcs are pretty interesting. Also, Civil War.

      Editing … I would just start at the beginning. The best material is generally considered to be what Stan Lee did with Steve Ditko and John Romita in the 60s. Aside from Venom that's where all the classic villains come from. And for my money that's when the conflicted, troubled side of his character was written best. There is good stuff after that though, just keep going until it gets too convoluted to continue. Source: Husband is a huge Spider-Man fan.

      Editing … I would definitely say start with Ultimate Spider-Man and then switch to the mainstream comics to check out the classics and the more highly regarded modern stories after that. Avoid One More Day, One Moment in Time, Sins Past and the 90s Clone Saga like the plague. http://www.favslist.com/status/856321
