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.

Getting started?

Hey all,

My name is Ultra and ever since I was little I’ve been a huge fan of Spidey, I grew up with all three eras!

Recently I’ve been getting into comics and I was wondering where would be a good place to pick up on.

There’s the original run, Dan Slott’s run, Nick Spencer, and now Zeb Wells.

There’s also Brandis Micheal Bendis’ run of Ultimate Spider-Man. And for Miles there’s three runs available? With the fourth ongoing?

I know there are currently three runs occurring, Main Universe, Miles’s run, and the new Ultimate universe.

Where should I start?

Could a spiderverse game work?

With how many resources Sony has, could a spiderverse game work?

Here's what I think:

  1. iirc, there's a one year gap between ITSV and ATSV, plus ATSV doesn't give us a lot of details on what happens in that time, so story writers could have almost complete creative freedom.

  2. in the time gap, miles confirmed that he was expirementing with new costumes. (This can be a lore reason for him changing costumes in the game)

  3. fan made projects like on Dreams show that with enough time, even a single person can make a good base for a game.

The video I linked is to a project in Dreams called "SWING" its heavily inspired by the spiderverse movies.

Feel free to comment your own opinions and ideas :D

Custom Cosplay Makers?

Hi! I've been desperately looking for a way to get my first ever spidey suit, but want it to be my own and not a pre-made one off a website. I want to replicate the Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) comic suit, but was wondering if anybody knew anyone who takes commissions for suits. Having trouble finding a service outside of RPC Studio and Spidey4Fun and don't want to spend $600 lol. Also, if anyone has resources on how to make a suit myself at home, please send video links! Thank you❤️🕷️

Do you think Spider-Man 2 should get a directors cut?

So i’ve been playing Spider-Man 2 recently, and i gotta say, i’m kinda disappointed. Spider-Man was my first playstation game ever, i brought it the day i got my ps4, and along with the 150 hours im sure you can guess it means a lot to me. But i just think the sequel felt empty. Undercut. You can tell this game was meant to be a WORTHY successor, the potential is literally in your face. I think if they had maybe just an extra year this game could’ve been on par/better than the first. Compared to the first ans maybe even miles this game just feels undercut. Atleast you could tell they had time to really structure miles story (even if phin was a hypocrite) and that they weren’t rushed. From features from those games being taken out, like the social media page and character bios (small nitpicks ik) to the entire story just feeling kinda mid, especially the third act which you can tell is super rushed. I’ve also noticed the post game world feels super baron too, idk the crime variety ratio to the first few games but i feel like i’m fighting the same ppl all the time. Thugs are rare, so it’s mainly the fire ppl (i forgot their name) and so many symbiotes. Maybe it could be the first game just had more variety in crimes like for example the difference between a demon shootout and a demon carjacking, so the city felt fleshed out. Anyways i’m kinda going off track, but i just really felt like this game was just mediocre. It feels like it’s missing the spark that made the first game so exciting. And don’t take this as a hate comment, because i love some parts of this game. The sandman and lizard boss fights were just peak, Kraven was on par with Mr Negative but i just feel like if they put that extra year of work in.. fleshed out the third act, maybe an extra hour with more consequences in the black suit, this game could’ve been a masterpiece. Along with all of the leaked cut content, like the day-time venom boss foght, random occurring events with venom jumping out at you from a random point in the story, entire cut scenes like a symbiote fight at the DB… we could’ve got so much. Anyways lmk your thoughts on if you think Spider-Man 2 needs a directors cut, the probability of Sony and insomniac making it and if you think it would sell well
