Recommended Reads

Some Heading Names
Spider-Man: Blue Spider-Man: Blue: Spider-Man: Blue (Spider-Man: Blue #1-6). A limited series in which Peter is reminiscing events and encounters from his past and how he and Gwen Stacy fell in love.
Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt: (ASM Vol 1/1963 #293-294, Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1/1976 #131-132, Web of Spider-Man #31-32). A rightly beloved classic set very early during the Peter/MJ marriage, with a lot of raw emotion and drama, full of psychology and dark storytelling.
The Alien Costume Saga The Alien Costume Saga: (ASM Vol 1/1963 #252-263, Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1/1976 #90-100, Web of Spider-Man #1). A bit long, but features some truly great stuff and has very often been misrepresented in media. This is not the story you may think you know from other adaptations and has a lot going for it like Black Cat.
If This Be My Destiny... If This Be My Destiny...: (ASM Vol 1/1963 #31-33). This storyline really highlights what makes Spider-Man work so well, letting Peter Parker's character truly shine with compelling drama.
Happy Birthday Happy Birthday: (ASM Vol 2/1999 #57-58, 500-502). Doctor Strange sends Spider-Man through time and space in order to help stop Dormammu. During his trip he encounters all of his greatest friends and foes.
Ock/Owl Gang War Ock/Owl Gang War: (Spectacular Spider-Man #73-79). One of the hands down best Otto Octavius storylines and one of the last times he was relevant for nearly a decade, this story also is the groundwork for the budding romance between Black Cat and Spider-Man that took hold in the early 1980s. Often an overlooked gem despite its immense historical impact on the webslinger.
Back to Basics Back to Basics : (ASM Vol 5/2018 #1-5). As the title says, it is back to the basics of what makes Spider-Man great and is the best the book has been in yeaaaars. This run is ongoing and the first arc is very new-reader friendly.
Side Reads
Some Heading Names
Venom: Lethal Protector Venom: Lethal Protector: (Venom: Lethal Protector #1-6). The recent Venom film is based on this 6 issue miniseries and although it's not the greatest storyline, it is a pretty good solo outing for Venom and a good start to his run as an antihero.
Sinister Spider-Man Sinister Spider-Man: (Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man #1-4). Mac Gargan is often regarded as one of the worst hosts for the Venom symbiote. And while I generally agree, this often overlooked 4-part miniseries really is something special. Written by Brian Reed, we see Mac working for Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers and how he handles being disguised as Spider-Man. The miniseries is delightfully twisted and laugh out loud funny. Reed’s writing is complemented with fantastic art by Chris Bachalo.
Venom Venom: Flash Thompson is given a chance to serve his country, on the condition he joins with the Venom Symbiote to become a hero once more.
Spider-Girl Spider-Girl: One of the first and longest running Marvel alternate universes remains the MC2, and for good reason! Meet Mayday Parker, daughter of the Amazing Spider-Man. Mayday remains what the standard of a legacy character should be, she is similar to her father but with a few core values changed. Seeing the supporting casts of classic ‘90s Spider-Man comics in this new but familiar world is always a treat and it really feels like what could have been had editorial been a bit different.

Our Chip Zdarsky approved Spider-Man Fan Film NEEDS your help!

Back in August of 2022 I read 'Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man Issue #310' by Chip Zdarsky and absolutely fell in love with the concept and the story of the comic book as a whole. As an actor and a filmmaker my first thought was that this NEEDED to be made into a film. And that film will be 'Spider-Man: Courtesy' With so many Marvel films focusing on the multiverse I felt that what we need are more grounded "Friendly Neighborhood" Spider-Man type films and it doesn't get anymore grounded than this comic book!

If you've read this comic book then you know exactly what we're trying to do but if you haven't I HIGHLY recommend it!

I met Chip at NYCC 2024 and told him about our idea. He...jokingly mentioned I shouldn't have told him because now he was going to call up Marvel's lawyers on us haha but he was flattered that we wanted to make a film off of his comic book and he really loved the poster art I showed him above that took inspiration from the cover of the comic book.

We have an Indiegogo (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/spider-man-courtesy/x/19809089#/) up to fund our film with tons of cool perks and rewards! And in case you're curious about our ability as filmmakers, my team and I made a proof of concept short film that we released in August of this year that I personally self-funded called Spider-Man: Courtesy -Prelude- (https://youtu.be/a8nGfn2XK7Q?si=gbieEdrvTjRVwcfB) It's only an eight minute short film so I'd really appreciate it if you can check it out!

And if you aren't able to donate that's okay too! Just sharing this out would mean the world to us!

Thank you for your time! This comic book was truly a love letter to our favorite web-head...now let's try to make it into a film!

So when is Kraven joining the MCU because clearly Sony doesn’t know what to do with any Spider-Man villains

Like the director keeps on saying if this movie does well, we’ll get Spider-Man in the next one, but how the hell are you gonna get Spider-Man when craven can’t even cross over to the MCU or same thing with Spider-Man

New to Spidey comics. Need some advice :)

Hello friends! I hope you all are doing well. I've been a Spidey fan ever since I was a little kid. not a hardcore fan though, I just enjoyed watching the movies and animated series related to him. I now plan to start reading the comic books but the issue is that there are so many volumes and so many different comic titles and I am very confused. therefore I decided to make a post here to ask my fellow Spidey friends for help and guidance :)

1-which topics should I read ?

2-do i need to start from the beginning or is there like a checkpoint which I can start the more recent comics?

3-Who the heck is this Paul guy? I only know he is really hated among the community.

Dumb Venom idea

If Venom symbiotes are sensitive to loud, high-pitched noises, then could someone easily incapacitate one by duct-taping Bluetooth headphones to the wearer's ears and playing, like, nightcore or heavy metal at full volume? Because the noises would be right there, much louder than just in the general earshot range, the duct tape would keep them from falling off (because duct tape fixes just about everything) and unless they had an symbiote-less accomplice, I doubt they'd be able to function well enough to remove the headphones themselves.

Any thoughts from professional Venom nerds?

What colors is Spider-Man Unlimited wearing?

I always thought that it was red and blue. A lot of the action figures/costumes, show that he’s wearing red and blue, but I wonder what other people think. This always bothered me as a kid. I think this is like a 2099 situation. I know blue highlights on black represent, black, but it just seems like a dark blue fits much better with the suit.

Why do the powers that be hate Ben Reilly? In comics we get Chasm, and in his first big screen appearance we get this whining…. Thing.

Is Spiderman 1994 show on disney+ available in french dub?

Hi everyone !

I live in France and it seems impossible to find the show spiderman 1994 in the french dub on any platform available in France. BUT I have seen on some other posts that it was on disney+ in other countries !

So I was wondering if anyone who has access could tell me if it is in your country, if all the five seasons are there, and most importantly if the french dub is available for you ? I am planning on purchasing a VPN and enjoying it that way if that's the case.

thank you so much for the given help 😊

Is Miguel Fooling everyone?

Just rewatched Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse. Vulture arrives from the DaVinci's dimesion, When it's figthing with Gwen the Vulture speaks on Italian and there was a subtitle "Bye Girl". Later Miguel Tries to capture that Vulture, at that time the Vulture looks into Miguel with the shock expression like he realized something and speaks something on Itlaian and there was no subtitle. Same time Miguel's appearance will change ( Face with the Fangs). His face will change after the helicopter approaches. Even the Vulture's attack on helicopter doesn't feel intentional. I guess it confirms that he is trying to cover something he did.
