It’s a big month as Marvel has finally run out of gatefold covers. They gave up on the recap pages months prior, sadly, just running 2 ads on the inside cover instead…
Month: June 2024
Slingers 2-3
Pretty weird cover copy. We will recall Harris said he wanted to keep Spider-Man out of this book. Mm hm. How’s that working out? He’s been in every issue so far, with…
Slingers 0-1
This isn’t really Spider-Man comics and I bailed on the series before it ended, so I decided to just speedrun them as 1 post. So, having created 4 new superheroes in the…

ASM V2 3
Welcome, I believe, to 1999. Pretty sure March ‘99 on the cover means January ‘99 in real life. The first time there was an Amazing Spider-Man 3, we met Dr. Octopus. This…
