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

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 [...]

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 [...]

Leave a reply

It's a great time to be a Spider-Man fan! In this edition of the Indispensable Spider-Man, we look at issues roughly between 1982 and 1985, which contains some of Spider-Man's best stories. Nothing Stops the Juggernaut. The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man. The Owl vs. The Octopus. Secret Wars. The First Hobgoblin Saga.

Hello Again, True Believers! The Indispensable Spider-Man returns once again this week, bringing you just the essential issues of the Spider-Man chronology between 1979 and 1982. You'll notice that we are compressing the number of years included per post. The reason is twofold; first, because we look for good jumping on points/endings that delimit the era, such as new creative teams, new series launches or just the beginning of an important arc. The number of years each post will span from Read more [...]
