Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus)

Product Information

Weighing in at nearly 8 pounds and over 1000 pages, the book’s massive size is befitting of the character’s long, rich history.

So, this is essentially a continuation and expansion of the elements from the Chameleon story in issue 1. You've gotta tell me about him trying to join the Fantastic Four by force though, how'd that happen. The Fox and his gang are the usual uninspired villains that would show up in Strange Tales (Note: This is not the much more fun Fox, also a master thief, who would show up in the 80s).I can't imagine they haven't at least considered publishing another volume at Marvel, but my guess is that they're going to hold off at least until the next movie comes out. Betty’s past catches up with her, and I like her leaving to deal with it all on her own, but the last panel is not great. Today, you will either find most comics to be bland and colorless to the point of losing all personality, or too stylized and out of touch with the characters of the comic (or just plain ugly).

Whereas the previous story redid another issue badly, this issue is essentially the new and improved issue 10.It continues Peter’s school stuff, but the main new thing is that Spider-man is on the road to his first love interest.

It’s got some good use of the Human Torch as a guest star, and I love the respect building between Spidey and the Torch. One of my hopes with this blog was that even my older reviews would be read for a long time after the fact, so your comment is really appreciated. The only alternative could be a future Panini reprint, and that would be much cheaper - but smaller, and perhaps preferable for some. He subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation. The Human Torch was at the height of his popularity here in his cash-grab spin-off in Strange Tales.His epic and sprawling run begins with an alien invasion, a troublesome doppelganger and a shocking new roommate: the villainous Boomerang!

I love Romita's work (of course, of course), but Ditko still drew the Spider-Man I think of when I think of Spider-Man. The Quality of the Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus - Volume 1 is the typical excellence of Marvel publications. The combination was pure magic during the course of 40 issues of web-slinging, wisecracking wonderment Lee and Ditko built the foundation for 45 years of Spidey spectaculars - girl trouble; bill trouble; bully trouble; the Daily Bugle; and a cast friends, family and, of course, supervillains unlike any other! It's let down only by the fact that there are quite a few mediocre or forgettable issues in this collection, and at times the writing is somewhat too formulaic, even for a comicbook.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
