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 Kraven’s Last Hunt Crossover Review

Leave a reply
A cross-over spanning among the 3 core titles of Spider-Man, Kraven's Last Hunt, is one of the most popular Spider-Man storylines. After having recently gone through all six issues, I can attest that not only does it bring a different type of storytelling, both artistically and in tone, from the type seen before it, but it does hold up to any modern storyline seen since. Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt: A Look Back One of the elements that make this Spider-Man Kraven story stand up is its consistency. Read more [...]
