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 [...]

Enter: the Modern Age of Spider-Man! (Personally, I think we should start calling it the Chromium Age.)

We continue our series of chronological Spider-Man essential issues list (released every Friday!) which ushers in the modern age of Spider-Man, marked with Todd McFarlane's move from Amazing Spider-Man to his newly created Spider-Man title created just for him Read more [...]

Spider-Man Lizard Comic Book Essentials

Leave a reply
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 [...]

Spider-Man No More! and other times Spider-Man quits

Leave a reply
Spider-Man, or more particularly his secret identity Peter Parker, is always putting in doubt his contributions as a superhero. He constantly worries if his actions as a superhero spill over into his real life, and fears that it does more harm than good. It goes without saying that a reasonable outcome of this behavior is to decide to give up on being a superhero. The " Spider-Man No More !" issue and cover is the image most comic book fans would retrieve when it comes to this topic, but there Read more [...]

Our last posts featured Spider-Man's main squeeze Mary Jane, but it would be unfair to leave out his first love, Gwen Stacy.

Here are some of the most essential Gwen Stacy issues, including important appearances later on by Gwen Stacy's clone.
