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
So, yeah, back to this. As we’ve seen, Disassembled was a totally self-contained story. But they had the idea to create a bunch of tie-ins where… bad things happened to people. Ostensibly…
Avengers 503 & Finale
Big finish! Yes, really, this story is only 4 issues. Just maximum carnage in minimal space. It opens with a flashback drawn by Olivier Coipel. Real “pre-2012 depictions of women in comics”…
Avengers 502
I mean, haven’t enough of them died already? Jack of Hearts came back and re-died, Ant-Man died, Vision died as much as an android can. And a few of the non-dead ones…
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…
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…
Ultimate Six 7
Ultimate Six #7! How awkward, right? Not always the plan. A 7th issue was announced when the series was almost over. And not published until 3 months after #6. Real 2000s Marvel…
Ulimtate Six 6
Not a bear hug, but a lion hug. Some of the weirdest eyes on Spider-Man ever. But at least he’s got his mask on the cover. 2-page splash opens the issue with…
