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 [...]

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 [...]

Spider-Man Hobgoblin Saga: Essential Issues

Leave a reply
The Original Spider-Man Hobgoblin Saga When Roger Stern took over the writing duties of Amazing Spider-Man, he introduced a new villain from the ashes of the Green Goblin in order to keep things fresh. Along with this new villain came the mystery of characters true identity, which lasted for more than a decade. The main suspects of the Spider-Man Hobgoblin mystery throughout the series were: Flash Thompson, Peter Parker's childhood nemesis-turned-friend Ned Leeds, Daily Bugle reporter with Read more [...]
