Just finished Red-Headed Stranger, and LOVED it. For those who haven't read it, it's a great little Chameleon 3-parter in which he nabs Pete's identity and causes all sorts of complications (though...
It's actually a new graphic novel, though their collaboration on the first few issues of Avenging Spider-Man was awesome. I realize that the way I phrased that makes it look like Spidey and Wolverine...
I'm excited too, most definitely, but if I'm honest (and I'll sound like a cynical old thing, here), I'd rather they just polished the original up for HD and stuck it on the Playstation Network.
...
None of the stories that appear in the book are called 'Died In Your Arms Tonight', though. That's just what the collection is called. Tying it into Doc Ock like that is some weak, weak punning. I...
I'm distrustful of Bagley covers with triangles in the upper right corner. In at least two cases (this, and Spider-Man #24), the art inside was by a fill-in and generally not very good.
It's possible. They released a Spidey 2099 trade in 2009 or so then forgot about it until this year, which sees the release of volume 2.
I'm also looking forward to the Retron 5, Spider-Prime, pretty much JUST so I can get Flashback to not look like crap on my big screen.
Also, how 'bout the Bagley cover? That thing is GORGEOUS.
The Died In Your Arms Tonight TPB took me up a mere three issues despite being the thickest BND-era book I've read so far. Gotta say, I really liked how well they carried off the Big Anniversary feel...
Up to 343, having finished American Son just now. I hate Norman Osborn with a passion to the extent it ruins a lot of stories for me in which he appears. I thought Harry's characterisation seemed a...
I really enjoyed these issues as well. I'd love a collection of that whole period of Peter's folks showing up.
That one's actually by Julie Bell. The original piece has her signature between Psylocke's arm and the building on the left. If you search 'Boris Vallejo Psylocke' on Google Images you can see the...
Read through the 24/7 TPB last night, which took me up to 337. I really enjoyed the issues with the Fantastic Four, particularly Johnny's annoyance upon figuring out the Peter had mindwiped the...
A lot of those cards also appear in a hardcover book called Titans, which distinguishes which paintings were by which artist. Maybe he checked there. Also, if you ask me, Vallejo is a lot better than...
Someone asked Bendis on Tumblr this week when it would be out and his reply was "Christmastime". I miss these books. I don't know why but really went off Powers and sold everything and have since...
I'm only after reading Election Day again.
Last time I read this trade was out of boredom on a train journey when the last Spidey comic I'd read was from 1998. A friend had bought it for another...

The Silver Sable trade was great mid-80s Spidey with hardly enough Sable appearances to merit collection in the first place, but there was plenty of great Hobgoblin action and a lot of...
Up to 316 now.
Read the Death And Dating trade (#578-563 and that year's annual). I really liked the Betty Brant issue that Waid wrote, as well as his two-part Shocker underground story. In fact,...
It's upcoming, announced last week.
Having never followed Avengers 'til Marvel Now relaunched it, I felt I was missing an awful lot of things in Hickman's issues and stopped reading after #5. I felt the same way about New Avengers too,...
VM, would you mind if I threw my own thoughts up for part three after you do part 2? Would be nice to look critically at one of my first ever exposures to US comics on a platform like this.
Edited the Spider-Man list to include Life In The Mad Dog World (Amazon's typo), as I missed that it includes the sequel story from Adjectiveless 29-31. Working on the Spectacular list at the moment.
Oh, most certainly not. I think the general idea, and this is from what I've gleaned from Marvel employees posting at another forum, is that the Epic series will collect Amazing as its main focus,...
Amazing #378 was the first US back issue I ever bought from the travelling CD and Records Fair that used to come to town, and remains one of my favourite issues to this day. Over the years I pieced...
Thanks Lee. Updated. Unfortunately, the formatting's taken a bit of a hit and erased all the spaces between the books and the issue numbers. I'll work on getting it less ugly when I get in from work.
