The Best of Spider-man, Volume 2 collects Amazing Spider-man #37-45 (Vol.2&3 of the series' Trade PaperBacks), Peter Parker: Spider-man #44-47 (Return of the Goblin TPB), and Spider-man's Tangled Web #10 & #11 (from Vol.2 of the TPB).
Amazing Spider-man: the issues continue J. Michael Straczynski's run; I really like what he did with the characters. Aunt May has discovered that Peter is Spider-man, and her reaction and struggle to accept his dangerous life was very well portrayed. Straczynski also writes Peter Parker amazingly well; everybody has their own idea of how their favorite characters should act, but I really enjoy this author's work. Peter Parker: Spiderman: I wish I had read some of the earlier issues or TPB's of this series because #44-47 drops you right into the action. Peter has to deal with Norman Osborne/Green Goblin once again, and while the action and character portrayals were good, they weren't perfect. Number 47 ends with the two returning to their uneasy stalemate. Spider-man's Tangled Web #10: This was a really awesome one-shot. Told from the point of view of two kids who are watching a superhero show when...; well, I don't want to ruin the story, but I really recommend this one; written and drawn by Kaare Andrews. Spider-man's Tangled Web #11: Written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke, a nice story of Valentine's Day in Spider-man's world.
This is a good collection; I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read the main book, Amazing Spider-man, and would like to try out some of the other Spider-man titles.
