Spider Man

This Spider-Man series on the Marvel Knights imprint deals with more mature themes and a more mature style than the regular imprints. It is set in an alternate universe outside of the mainstream Marvel continuity.

Spider-Man: Chapter One is the name of a comic book limited series starring Spider-Man published by Marvel Comics for 13 issues (#1-12, with a #0 added between #6 and #7 and published in the same month as #7) from December 1998 to October 1999.

Among those writers who have had their go with the ongoing Amazing Spider-Man storyline (Joe Kelly, Mark Waid and Fred Van Lente), Dan Slott's work with the story arc on Mysterio is the weakest. The previous three before him have revived and re-invigorated the status quo, including Spidey's Rogue's Gallery to place the title among Marvel's very best, and such was the quality of their work that Slott's turn seems average in comparison. Moreover, Slott's turn came immediately after Joe Kelly's superlative issue #617 and understandably his deficiencies were magnified. If issue #618 was weak, it seemed issue #619 made such downturn even steeper and threatened to undo all the efforts of the previous writers in elevating the flagship series of Marvel's most recognizable character. Only Marcos Martin's Steve Ditko-ish art keeps it in place. Slott may have heard all the complaints because issue #620, the conclusion of his Mysterio arc is the most enjoyable of his run so far. It definitely arrested the downward spiral, but still is several cuts below the lofty standards set by his predecessors. Let's hope Slott at least manages to keep things on an even keel in the coming issues. Minutemen scans both.

Mary Jane Watson returns to Peter Parker's life in , entitled, "Red-headed Stranger: No Place Like Home" from the web-tastic team of Mark Waid and Mario Alberti. If anyone in real life were to experience what Peter Parker is going through in this issue, he'd probably jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. But then, that's why New York City's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man remains so popular. There's also a bonus six-page story by Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesada where Peter and his old classmate Jessica Jones reflect on their life together in high school with Peter helping Jessica come to a major decision about her future with the New Avengers.

The first volume of The Sensational Spider-Man was published in the period from January 1996 to November 1998 - during this time was released 35 rooms. This series has replaced Web of Spider-Man and conceived as a presentation of Ben Reilly - the new Spider-Man. Over the first seven editions of work, Dan Jurgens, but because of disagreements with the chief editor of a series related to the further development of the plot (Jurgens planned to return to the role of the spider, Peter Parker), he had to leave the series and in its place stood Dezago Todd and Mike Vering.

is the name of a comic book series starring Spider-Man published by Marvel Comics for 129 issues between 1985 and 1995. It replaced Marvel Team-Up as the third major Spider-Man title of the time. After #129 in October 1995, the title was renamed Web of Scarlet Spider and started again at #1. After four issues of Web of Scarlet Spider, the series was cancelled to make way for the new The Sensational Spider-Man title. This October 14, 2009, Web of Spider-Man will begin again with issue one having a Kaine centered story written by J.M. DeMatteis, as well as a Spider-Girl story by Tom DeFalco with art by Ron Frenz and still another bonus story. This is is almost a Giant first issue, and I like the artwork, too. Future stories will feature such characters as Electro, the Rhino, the Lizard, and many more from Spider-Man's colorful rogues gallery.

The series was canceled with that issue, but response to the character was so positive that a solo title, , was launched with a March 1963 cover-date. is the character's flagship series.
