Although it had its moments, it was a CHORE to read.
It's been a long time since I originally read these, and back then it may not have been in the correct order. This order made much more sense and helped the story flow.
I really loved Marvel in the handful of years before and after the Turn-of-the-Century. I'd just recently returned to full-fledged weekly comic book shop Wednesdays visits. I wasn't buying much. Maybe spending $20 a week. So I've left myself a lot to explore. Like Spider-Man. I wished I'd known that this book relies heavily on SPIDER-MAN: THE GATHERING OF THE FIVE. Which I hope to read fairly soon. I really enjoyed this volume. It's all Byrne and JR. Jr. art but for 2 issues so it looks great. T...
Decent stories. Good artwork. Features Spider-Man teaming up with (view spoiler)[Thor, Iceman, Fantastic Four, Black Cat, Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin). Spidey battles new and old enemies, including Scorpion, Sandman, Doc Ock, Kingpin, and Bullseye. (hide spoiler)]
Loses a lot of steam in the last few issues (the new, villainous Spider-Woman is a dud, and the annual is nonsense), but theres still far more good than bad here. Color me shocked: I had a really good time.
A new start but not a fresh one. I wanted to get into more modern Spiderman and so thought the first issue of the ‘second season’ would be a good place to start - note that there is a large connection to what has before: I wasn’t expecting a complete new take on Spidey, I didn’t expect his origins again, but I didn’t expect to have this be a continuation of the last issue. That aside it was pretty decent; there is nothing great in this issue but also nothing awful, it’s just solid spider action....
I quite liked it at first but it ended up being quite run of the mill. Any tension as to whether Peter Parker would put the spider-suit back on was thrown away by some issues appearing out of order.
I really enjoyed this first volume. The development of Peter and MJ's relationship, the introduction to the new Spider-Woman and Spiderman's return to superheroing was very fun to read.
This whole thing is missing a lot of lead-in. It's really trying to follow-up on Gathering of the Five stuff. And it's also a little lost generally. There are a lot of things going on but none are really connected.And the central focus of the story, "Will Peter Parker be Spider-Man again?" doesn't make any sense. First of all, the books include issues from a comic series entitled "Peter Parker, Spider-Man." Second, there are some weird sequencing issues that cause Spider-Man to show up before Pe...
This collects six months of Spidey Comics from 1999, with the first of many reboots back to Issue 1 for Amazing Spider-man and Peter Parker Spider-man. It also features a crossover with Thor. The book opens with Peter having given up being Spider-man but someone else having taken up the mantle who he doesn't know who they are.As a book, it's solid throughout. The stories are all engaging. There are some good guest villains, some nice plot ideas, and nothing really outstays its welcome or gets to...
The first few issues are really interesting as they have Peter grappling with his identity as Spider-Man, which he is trying to leave behind, and openness and trust in his marriage with MJ. Peter keeps lying to MJ, even though it is with good intentions, but he's starting to realise MJ might also be lying to him. A handful of Spider-(Wo)Men appear briefly in a side plot which will no doubt come back to haunt Peter, we see some of the consequences of Norman Osborne's Gathering of the Five, and th...
A nice looking collection featuring stories from over 20 years ago by some great creators. Howard Mackie wrote most of it, and there’s some very nice art by John Byrne and John Romita Jr. As is the way with these collections the individual stories vary, but there are some ongoing subplots threading through the whole book. Some, like Peter taking up the suit again, are resolved, while others, like the Senator Ward storyline, are left open. Some elements, like the new Spider-Woman work well, while...
