Spider-Man Timeline ’99-’05: Indispensable Spider-Man Pt 14

We're back! Summer's back and so is the indispensable Spider-Man. With a new era of Spider-Man now ongoing, we're able to move the ball down the field a bit further in selecting a list of essential Spider-Man comics. But before we get down to the dirty, gritty details, here's the how we decided which issues make our list: What are considered the best issues in the main Spider-Man Timeline are central Storylines that include an important change in status quo are also central Very important Read more [...]

Green Lantern Reading Order Online

Leave a reply

It wasn't in our plans to release a Green Lantern reading order just yet, but it has been requested a few times. At first, we believed that this franchise was already well-served in terms of reading orders. However, it seems most reading orders only focus on Geoff John's run (though that is a great place to start if you want to catch up). That is why today we are releasing our complete Post-Crisis Green Lantern reading order. Like each of our reading orders, it is unique in its presentation; this Read more [...]

The first in a series of updates including the major Avengers roster has begun! We've included in our Avengers reading order all important Iron Man issues.

To make it easier for those Iron Man-exclusive fans, we have Read more [...]

Spider-Man Timeline ’96-’98: Indispensable Spider-Man Pt 13

Leave a reply

Well, folks, this will be the last time we blog on the Indispensable Spider-Man timeline for this year. The period covered in our final spans between the tail end of 1996 to the end of 1998, which includes a tidily wrapped Spider-Man timeline from the return of Peter Parker as Spider-Man until he eventually quits again, which spurs the (temporary) renumbering of Amazing Spider-Man. But before we get down to the dirty, gritty details, here's the how we decided which issues make our list: What Read more [...]

Spider-Man Timeline ’95-’96: Indispensable Spider-Man Pt 12

Leave a reply

Our penultimate Indispensable Spider-Man has landed! Yes, we will be ending our listing of the essential issues in the Spider-Man timeline soon, as we will be taking a loooooong break after the next installment, which will go up to the "Final Chapter" storyline that occurs just before the Amazing Spider-Man numbering "reboot". This is perhaps the most controversial list, as it covers Ben Reilly's time as the focus of the monthly Spider-Man. Some would remove these issues entirely, though Peter Read more [...]

Chronological Spider-Man ’94-’95: Indispensable Spider-Man Pt 11

Leave a reply

The Indispensable Spider-Man continues again with this week's installment. Just as last week's group of Chronological Spider-man issues was perhaps one of the best runs ever, we delve into one of most notoriously self-indulgent runs. This set of essential chronological Spider-Man issues spans from a short period between 1994-1995, but don't be fooled; this is perhaps one of the eras with the most issues published per month. Before we get down to the details, here's the criteria to how Read more [...]

Chronological Spider-Man ’91-’94: Indispensable Spider-Man Pt 10

Leave a reply

Confession here, Spider-Friends; this is perhaps one of my favorite Chronological Spider-man runs ever. There are two reasons for this; first, because of the great story of the rise and fall of Harry Osborn, and second, because "it's mine". This is smack dab during my golden age of comic collecting. Now that I got that off my chest: Welcome to our latest installment of the Indispensable Spider-Man, featuring the chronological Spider-Man essential issues list from 1991 to 1994. Add this to Read more [...]
