I also recommend the following issues ( 39 to 111) drawn by John Romita Sr, since together they all create a memorable phase showing Peter growth from a shy loner high school student to more confident and responsible man with better social skills and connections with people like Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane.

Hi dude. Soooo… I feel like this is a bit out of the blue, but since I first saw the TASM 2 rewrite, I’ve been trying to write a hypothetical TASM 3 pitch based off of your proposals and that post credit scene that you added with Harry. (If anybody asks me why I wouldn’t post it under that video’s comment section, I was going to, but it’s doubtful anyone would see it in that video’s comment section given that it’s almost a year old.) But, I have to ask-was that scene of Harry taking the GR-3314 serum meant to be in reference to Harry’s drug addiction in the original comics? Because that’s probably going to be a major element in his descent into madness in this hypothetical story. But I don’t think I’ll be able to add stuff like that Miles tease or the origins of Doctor Octopus, because I feel like those stories should be saved for a future installment rather than placed in a story that’s mainly about the destruction of Peter and Harry’s friendship and the subsequent creation of the Green Goblin. Having the origins of two major supervillains, one of which isn’t even the focus of this story, feels like a bit much to me, and I feel like there should be more explanation of Otto’s motives and history before he becomes a supervillain. And Miles’ origins can be detailed in a solo live action Miles movie, which can have the disappearance of Spider-Man after the Goblin’s rampage as a major story element and maybe have that Miles-Peter team up tease at the end, especially with this big Spider-Man Cinematic Universe that Sony was trying to make. But if anyone has any ideas, then, well, I’m open to suggestions. I’m really sorry if this is a bit random, but since this is a Spider-Man video, I figured now is as good a time as any. Hope y’all have a good day 😊

It is so awesome that you made this. I imagine there's a lot of comic fans who live and die by a specific comic run as the definitive Spider-Man reading material, so I was glad to see you gave people so many varied options. Despite how big Marvel and DC were to me growing up I didn't start reading comics until my teens, but even then it was mostly DC. The only Spider-Man run I've actively collected is the Ultimate comics. I only started collecting those last year and LOVED reading them, they were just really well written and I liked how far they were willing to go with presenting things like Kingpin or the Symbiotes as really horrifying and violent. That and I also got a couple years ago The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Volume 1, that's like at least the first 40 issues of the original comics and is more fun to read purely for the introductions to so many iconic characters and stories rather than it being a definitive version of how those characters and stories are now remembered, nearly everyone begins as genuinely unlikeable to some degree. I got big into getting classic Spider-Man comics the last few years; The Night Gwen Stacy Died, Kraven's Last Hunt, and just recently Spider-Man: Blue, but Spider-Man: Life Story is genuinely my single absolute favorite Marvel comic, maybe of all time. That thing blew me away, it was like the Dark Knight Returns or Old Man Logan of Spider-Man comics, it made me actually feel something when reading it. As you said it's just a shame it wasn't longer, that and it definitely reads better if you've got a wider knowledge/history of the Spider-Man comics that came beforehand, the changes are a lot more interesting that way, like Venom in that is one of the most genius changes I've ever seen in a comic. Same for the Ultimate comics, things like the reimagining of the Symbiotes is really interesting knowing the changes made to the original story, but then things like the Goblins whilst certainly intimidating are... well at least Norman Osborn himself is great in that.

I worked at a comic shop for years, the biggest advice I always give is just to jump in somewhere, and if things are important they'll fill you in while you're reading. If you don't get something just brush it off or look it up as Troy said in the video. A lot of new readers will even find new books to read by looking up details brought up in an issue. After a while you'll be just as comfortable as anybody else. Another good option is to ask someone at your shop to help you find stuff. I know a lot of shops have a bad reputation (deservedly) but a good place will try to ask you about what you like and suggest some books based on that. It was always my favorite part of the job.

Honestly, I began reading the comics with Amazing Fantasy #15 and went up from there to Amazing, reading the annuals and other series like Spectacular or Web of only if they picked my interest or were directly referenced, and even if it's a gigantic compromise I have a lot fo fun doing so. It really takes me back, imagining how grandiose these old adventures were and how much better some of these stories could be today, and seeing the evolution of Peter from the Ditko era to Romita's is something you can only get done to it's fullest in this medium from these old comics. I thinks that's a good approach to begin reading the character, although one I would only suggest if you, like me, have such a great love and admiration for the character and don't want to read much else. Ultimate Spider-Man is a good series, but I could never quite get into it, and re-reads are somewhat boring for me due to the first arcs up to Issue 60 or so being all around the place with Shield, Kingpin, the Ultimates, and the X-Men, so I'd recommend it if You're way more familiarized with Marvel as a whole (Either just by watching the movies or TV shows) and want a story that feels way more consistent and in tune with modern storytelling. Finally, I'd say begging with the modern run, almost just taking any issue the store could have in shelves right now, is a great way to go about it if you want to read Spider-Man, but the medium, as in the comics themselves, aren't something you're used to. That way you can get ahold of how they work, with super nice and clean art, and you get to know which aspects of the character and his universe are still around today.
@awesomebacon1075 Ай бұрын
My basic strategy when getting into a certain comic book character: Start from their very first story and read them chronologically until you get the gist (sometimes that means until you read the origin, sometimes it’s reading through that infamous story arc everyone talks about, sometimes it’s when you get acquainted with the whole rogues gallery or at least the archenemy, it’s all just personal preference). Then bounce around to the highly recommended stories (popular stories, stories recommended from people you know or fellow comic book buffs, etc.) and/or other stories that look interesting to you. Probably the most straightforward and effective way of doing it that gives you a good glimpse into the character and their history and has shaped me into the confident, smelly comic book nerd that I am today :P

I really love the original Stan lee 100 issue run. Implicitly pretentious references how the rami movies were actually a very fundamental misunderstanding of Spider-Man. Peter in the original comics was a lot more self doubt the reader even begins to doubt at some points if what Peter is doing is right. It also recontextualized mcu Spider-Man because I. Peters highschool era the peter situation we treated very similarly to how they are in the mcu movies. The Peter Parker story’s in the highschool era were very sitcom esk but that’s why Stan lee gave you the punch in the face with Spider-Man no more. It was pretty much a punch in the face to peter. He realized that it wasn’t that he did better without Spider-Man but rather he began to doubt himself and question weather or not he needs to be Spider-Man if as the 60s cartoon says if action really was his reward Spider-Man wasn’t a burden nothing really changed in his personal life leading peter to reconnect with uncle Ben who hadn’t been a major figure in his life he was only mentioned a couple times In the first 30 issues Peter more had idolized other hero’s like the human torch rather than his uncle. But him quiting being Spider-Man made him stop doubting himself if the violence really was what was keeping him going. He stops caring what jjj says and remembers why he started again very similar to no way home. Peters main struggle for the rest of the run turns into his struggle with self doubt. Also… u should like at least make it a beard or a goatee. Idky but seeing the stash alone makes me uncomfortable

I got into reading Spider-Man through “spiderverse” I love how they have a big book that literally compiled the whole story of that event and that’s the thing with marvel comics you can just start reading by EVENTS like if you wanna read about civil war then go ahead it’s easily accessible, then if you wanna get into like stuff that’s being adapted into the MCU you can find those too idk I’m just happy I got into reading the marvel comics and the story are just so great and it’s leaving me hoping that the MCU would soon adapt to the big screen

I only got into Spider-Man comics recently with the release of Life Story's hard cover which I thoroughly enjoyed though I do agree that it was short with the 2010s in particular feeling rushed through that didn't stop it from being my personal favorite Spidey story I have every experienced which immediately got me reading more, grabbing stories that peek my interest(my general approach to comics) with me having already picked up Ultimate Spider-Man and Renew Your Vows

Just read Stan Lee's run. People know that he created Spider-Man, but most people haven't actually read his comics. The same goes for all his other comics. There are some other good stories, but it's better to just read those old ones. Also, those are the first ones, so you won't miss anything.

From what they hinted at in the miles morales game, it seems like Peter might be teaching in Spider-Man 2 on ps5. I never knew about that story but I think that’ll be a really cool story considering Insomniac’s Spider-Man is a little older, and since he has Miles around he can probably somewhat handle a stable job.

You should do more videos like these for other comics! Like I’d watch ones for Batman, Superman, X-Men, etc etc For my own personal recs, Ultimate Spider-Man is honestly near-perfect in my opinion. Not every story is great, and some stuff hasn’t aged perfectly, but it’s basically an entire Spider-Man tv series in comic form. I agree with all your other recs, and would also throw in Amazing Spider-Man by Dan Slott and… a lot of artists, but starting with Humberto Ramos. I’m not a fan of the way Slott writes Peter, but I love the way he writes Spider-Man, and this series has some of my favorite arcs including The Gauntlet and Grim Hunt, Ends of the Earth, Superior Spider-Man, Spider-Verse, and more. It starts with issue #648.

I bought my first two Spiderman comics a couple weeks ago, I got a superior Spiderman one and a friendly neighborhood Spiderman one. I judged them based off their cover, I liked the superior Spiderman one a bit better, I had zero clue what was going on in the FNSM one, but it was fun for both of them. probably will go buy a longer book online or have a better organized start here finish there reading experience next time

I actually started reading Spider-Man comic books which was the ultimate run when I was younger. I also read the classical run, but i have to say I find the nick Spencer one of my favorite runs. If no one has read it and hates modern Spider-Man 616 universe this comic run will change your mind.
@Hulkzilla0 2 жыл бұрын
I binge-read the Incredible Hulk comics, and the renumberings it went through. I had planned on doing the same with Spider-Man. The problem is, however, Spider-Man eventually got FOUR BOOKS that were being made simultaneously (during the 80's and 90's, I believe). That wouldn't be a problem, except the stories being told weren't contained individually within each books. They overlapped. The incredible Harry Osborn Green Goblin storyline ended in the Spectacular Spider-Man run. The Other storyline by JMS was told in various Spidey books, as opposed to being contained to a single title (preferably Amazing). It's a challenge I'm willing to take on, but convenience is hardly a factor if you want to binge-read the main storylines online. Trade paper backs are an option (which does organize the stories as best as possible), but for a guy who doesn't have enough to spend, this is going to be a real hassle. But I'm willing to pull through because I really want to get as much of the full experience of Spider-Man as I can.

@@TokuNorth I usually try to read about 5 a day at least, but I have ended up taking a couple of lengthy hiatuses. The first was during the late 70s era, because a lot of stories from that time were either fucking weird, or just kinda forgettable, so my interest was slowly waning. The second hiatus was in the mid 90s, right after finishing the Clone saga, because that story dragged on for so long and got so stupid, that I was completely exhausted by the end of it.
