Could anyone truly be ready for Spider-Hulk? While I didn’t buy the previous issue as a kid, who could pass by this totally bonkers cover without picking it up? Not me. Our…

WEB 069
After careful consideration of his situation and options, Hulk has decided smashing is in order. Having 1 guy write 2 out of 3 Spider-Man titles always seemed like a weird choice. Inevitably,…
SM 75
Alright, let’s get this over with. This is a wraparound cover. Here’s the back: Romita going hard for this one already. And as of this month, he’s teamed with the magnificent Scott…

TAC 225
Another “SUPER COOL” holodisk! DEFINITELY worth the extra $2.50. This one shows a Peter Parker that sort-of-not-really morphs into Spider-Man. Very exciting. Cover by Scott McDaniel, because this is a stealth launch…
