In 2019, Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley teamed up to make Spider-Man: Life Story. It's a six issue story in which Peter Parker ages in real time and each issue riffs on the most popular stories that were published in that decade of Spider-Man's history at Marvel. But because Peter is aging, it becomes a meditation on how responsibility, a core concept with Spider-Man, changes as we get older.
