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

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.

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

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 [...]

Spider-Man Lizard Comic Book Essentials

The Lizard is probably not the first villain you think of when considering Spider-Man's rogues gallery. In fact, the Amazing Spider-Man Lizard hasn't really been featured in many issues, despite having an early appearance cementing him as one of Spider-Man's top villains. If you don't count non-lizard Curt Connors appearances and non-Connors Lizard appearances, it reduces a small list of issues, already. Yet, he is the chosen villain for the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man. So, Read more [...]
