originally published on: 2008-08-06) On the unlikely day when an embittered, washed–up journalist met a spurned symbiotic organism from an alien planet, one of Spider–Man’s greatest enemies was born – a force of evil and vengeance like no other in the Marvel Universe – VENOM! But is it a...

By CalvinPitt(noreply@blogger.com) Maybe it will be a plucky reporter*, like Ben Urich, who will (again) have to educate the citizens of the Marvel Universe that hey, Norman Osborn is evil, and crazy, and it is a bad thing for Osborn to have any power, let alone as much as he does. Or Betty Brant, she's been working hard to be a big-...

By spidermancrawlspace In this episode we announce the addition of Michael Baily as our newest member of the panel. The show has the gang reviewing Amazing Spider-Man # 593-595.

By Brian Cronin So we begin Amazing Spider-Man #122 (by Gerry Conway and Gil Kane) with Spider-Man reacting poorly to the fact that the Green Goblin just killed his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. I love the art in this issue but particularly when Peter is out of costume as the rage in his ...

New York Daily News Created by artist Mark Bright, the cover to “Amazing Spider-Man” #267 is the first thing that comes to mind every time I hear a mention of “Pelham 1 2 3,” for some reason. Fan-favorite writer Peter David scripted the issue, and at the risk of playing ...

By Alex Billington Regarding the villain, Black only said: "We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now. We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York." He also adds that "the villain will be one of Spidey's foes from the com...

 CA It's been a bumpy road at times since the start of Brand New Day, but if this issue is any indication, Amazing Spider-Man has gone back to setting the bar for the rest of the Marvel Universe. Last issue, Spider-Man went out of his way to give Norman ...

By CalvinPitt(noreply@blogger.com) Today's post concerns Amazing Spider-Man #259. I don't actually own it in its original form, just as a Marvel tales reprint, but that's good enough, right? Anyway, the issue is primarily Peter and Mary Jane walking through a park. See, MJ has just recently revealed that she knows Peter is Sp...

The story's success is also a bit hampered by the fact that, currently, "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a frequently clever and hilarious comic book in its own right, so Hader and Meyers aren't really breaking new ground. Art-wise, Kevin Maguire's work is ...

By Alex Billington I love Peter Parker. I've always loved the Spider-Man comics, and I feel like I still know more about the character that I think I can bring to the screen - and perhaps make it great if I do it right," Raimi says. "It's the same reason I keep reading the Spider-Man comic books. I'm really enamored w...

By CalvinPitt(noreply@blogger.com) That's what I'm wondering tonight? Do you like you Jonah Jameson with a burning hatred for all vigilantes, or simply locked onto Spider-Man to the point that not only does he write an endless string of scathing editorials about how bad Spider-Man is, he commissions the construction of Sp...

By Brian Cronin Today’s “tear jerker” moment comes from a neat issue of Paul Jenkins’ Peter Parker: Spider-Man run. Enjoy! This issue of Peter Parker: Spider-Man (Vol. 2) by Paul Jenkins and Mark Buckingham, is a bit of a twist on the classic “The Boy Who Collected Spider-Man” story.

By Chris Marshall Also on the show, a quick look at the 2008 Top 10 Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks (Collected Editions), Marvel Premiere Classics corrections and a question: How should Marvel collect the 5-page Spider-Man/Barack Obama back-up from Amazing Spider-Man #583?

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Thor hacks his way through a seemingly unending onslaught of minions. Suddenly, Captain America appears on the scene and helps Thor in his fight. Thor asks Captain America how it is possible that he is here in Valhalla. Captain America replies that he does not know and that they will figure it out once they are done with this battle. I cannot wait to see how Loeb manages to make Nick Fury so important to the Ultimate Universe that this type of cataclysmic event can only be solved by returning Nick to the Ultimate Universe. Maybe Loeb can turn this plotline into something engrossing, but at this point I am just not seeing it.   [read the full post]

By Mike Gold I think from the commercial perspective Steve Ditko’s role in the success of Marvel Comics and its transcendence to the college-student market has been severely underrated. It was The Amazing Spider-Man that put Marvel on the map and in the college bookstores. It was Spider-Man that beca...

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Spider-Man mentions that Captain America said that he thought there was some rebellious faction in SHILED trying to kill the Avengers. Evidently, Captain America felt there was something rotten going on with SHIELD. Spider-Man then says that the Skrulls were mining vibranium here and then tried to kill the Avengers here. The ending to New Avengers #41 was a total miss for me. That is because I find the plotline involving the 1970’s Captain America to be completely lacking in drama or intrigue. We know that the 1970’s Captain America is a Skrull. We have seen Steve’s dead body over on Captain America after he was killed by Sharon Carter. I find this 1970’s Captain America plotline a bit of a waste of time.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn Peter goes to a janitor closet and slips into his Spider-Man costume. Peter notices that he still only has one of his web-shooters. Spider-Man starts web-slinging across Manhattan looking for the mugger wearing a Spider-Man mask. If you had the hankering to read about the down on his luck teenage Peter Parker who is living the single life then you could pick up an issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. If you were in the mood to read about the married adult Peter with a more stable grasp on his life then you could snag an issue of Amazing Spider-Man. Now, your choice is a loser single Peter in his twenties or loser single Peter in his teen years.   [read the full post]

Review: THE SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN Issue #41 - ONE MORE DAY- Part 3  - Spidey is offered a deal from Mephisto (otherwise known as the Devil) to save Aunt May. He will spare her life, if Spider-man and Mary Jane agree to give up ...

By Rokk Krinn Synopsis: We begin with Peter at Aunt May’s bedside. We cut to the nurse on duty taking some of Aunt May’s blood and getting a report done on the analysis of the blood. Peter manages to get his hands on the blood test report and is upset. Evidently, Aunt May has built up an immunity to his spider-blood and that the transfusion he conducted isn’t going to do anything for Aunt May. Peter leaves the hospital thinking about the nine felony counts that he has just committed in the past hour. And that these felonies were committed by Peter Parker and not Spider-Man. That Peter’s fingerprints are all over everything. That Peter has become everything that he set out to fight. A criminal.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn The Revolution always enjoys the latest issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. Bendis is tacos in the bank on this title. Ultimate Spider-Man #111 was Mark Bagley’s final issue. The fact that Bendis and Bagley cranked out a run of 111 issues together is absolutely mind blowing. You just don’t see that in the modern age of comic books. Anyway, I’m sure that Ultimate Spider-Man #112 will be a good read. Let’s do this review. Comments The Good: Ultimate Spider-Man #112 was a decidedly average read. And I’m simply not used to getting pedestrian reads on Ultimate Spider-Man. Ever since Ultimate Spider-Man #1, this title has been a stunningly consistent read each and every month.   [read the full post]

By Adrienne Day Those of you who've seen the movie: what do you think of Spidey's bad-boy image? Has Spidey gone emo?

By Vichus Smith In the end of issue 5, Iron Man and Spider-Man had a nasty breakup that led to Spidey getting his new Tony Stark-issued costume ripped off of him. Before pro-registration villains could attack him further, he was saved by the most well-armed vigilante in all comics, the Punisher.
