Good advice, but I don’t think it would’ve helped Spider-Man avoid getting to this point. My copy of this book is in pretty bad shape, but that’s how I like ‘em, cuz…

SMU 01
It’s here. My dread built with every issue last time we hit this period, but it can’t be avoided: Maximum Carnage. An absolutely misguided 14-issue disaster that forced me to buy all…
ASM 020
Good cover! That first iteration of Scorpion’s tail just seems so underwhelming in light of later ones. I mean, I came in with Todd McFarlane putting a blade on it. He’s the…

MTU 106
This is yet another of the 77 MTUs I got for $44. After 2 months of Hulk & Ka-Zar, MTU is back to being the Spider-Man title it’s supposed to be. And…
ASM 319
Uh-oh! Hammer has sent in the clowns! You’ll remember Blacklash from being a total screwup in MTU 145. Has he done anything since then? I have no idea, but I haven’t seen…
