Is it just me or does the Spectacular Spider-Spider have at least 10 legs in this cover drawing? Paco Medina has drawn the short straw and must bring this absolutely insane story…

TAC V2 19
So, like, with the “prologue” part, this is a 6-issue story. Pretty typical of its day, and most days to follow. So why does it have 3 different artists? That doesn’t feel…
TAC V2 18
Strap in for more fun with the gang! I don’t think fun is actually on the docket. This month, we get started on an unbelievable (quite literally) stupid note as Peter, who…
TAC V2 17

Avengers 503 & Finale

TAC V2 16
Another great cover from Epting. His last for the title, sadly. This month, our hero wakes up stuck to a wall in something like a web, thinking like a drone, but resisting…
TAC V2 15

USM 059
Big finish. It’s very Ultimate Spider-Man that this story isn’t over when Doc Ock is defeated. The Peter Parker story is more important. A core reason this was the best Spider-Man comic…
