ASM V2 36
Well, here we are. ASM 36 was released in November of 2001. With the delay between print and publication, you can perhaps guess what recent event had occurred that might have greatly…
UTS 21
And now, Spider-Man’s going to meet The X-Men for the first time. But we’ve seen him meet them for the first time in X-Men 35, pretty definitively, so this isn’t going to…

I first saw this story in 1990’s Marvel Tales #234, behind a then-cutting edge Todd McFarlane cover. This was my first exposure to Gil Kane’s art, and even as a brand-new comics…
