I read three issues of FN S-M last night. Issues 19-21 all by Peter David and Todd Nauck.
Issue 19 completed the Uncle Ben comes back and murders a future Spider-man, the Sandman's dad gets the blame and Spidey and the Sandman team-up to sort out the mess storyline.
The description speaks for itself. It's one convoluted plot and not a particularly great one either. Peter David partly makes up for it with some witty dialogue and Nauck's art is fine - but it's odd that the best thing about this issue was the story recap which I found hilarious and a good "Soap" homage.
Issues 20 and 21 completed a long running sub-plot concerning Flash and the High School nurse. She's actually made out of magic Spiders created during "The One" storyline and wants to use Flash as a mate/ food source for her spider offspring. Again another mad story.

The best bests in these issues were Pete's talk with Betty and his apology for lying to her about his secret identity and, right at the end, Robbie Robertson having a real go at Jonah and his attitude towards super-heroes. JJJ wasn't pleased.
Overall, 6/10 for all the issues.
