Three of my favorites:
Superior Foes of Spider-man :
At a time where Doc Ock took over Spider-man's body, these 5 D-list villains decided to try to become the new sinister 6, even though there's only 5 of them. It's basically a book about them just trying to pull off heists, and Spider-man basically isn't in it at all, but it's hilarious.
Scarlet Spider :
A little more serious comic, but still with a healthy dose of comedy . I wouldn't recommend it as much, because it makes a lot of references to stuff that a new reader wouldn't understand, but it's still a great read. The main premise is that one of Spider-man's clones has decided instead of being a super hero, he's just gonna screw off to Mexico to chill, but he gets distracted by reluctantly saving some people in Houston. He ends up staying there for awhile. He tries to be an edgy 90's hero, but his supporting cast and crazy antics won't let him.
Agent Venom
I'm probably a little biased because I've always loved symbiotes, but this is a whole new take on Venom. Basically, Peter Parker's old bully, Flash Thompson (Peter Parker's old high school bully who eventually became his friend) joined the military because he was inspired by his biggest hero, Spider-man, lost his legs saving his friend, and then was offered a new chance to serve the government. They gave him a drugged up Venom symbiote to create a super soldier without all the teeth and tongue violence. Unfortunately, the symbiote sometimes gains control when Flash gets too mad or frustrated . Definitely the most serious comic out of these 3, but it is so good.
