A guy at the Portland comic shop told me I was reading the wrong Spider-Man run
He said the current Amazing issues were 'for kids' and I should only read the 80s stuff. I was just grabbing a single comic for my nephew. Ever have someone gatekeep your casual comic pick like that?

Ugh I hate when people do that! Honestly that guy sounds like a total snob. What worked for me when some dude at a con tried to tell me I was reading the "wrong" Batman was just to laugh and say oh cool thanks but I'm good. I grabbed what I wanted anyway and walked away. You don't gotta justify picking a fun comic for your nephew, especially if he's just getting into it. The 80s stuff is great and all but not every reader needs to start there, you know?
