Every Spider Man Run - Reading Order & Starting Points

[@thiagorosendo5469]

I was antecipating this since you started with the "reading order" guides. You're the best place in the Internet for guides about comics. Really appreciate you, thanks for your work.

[@niccoloproia3678]

Despite me not agreeing on a lot of the comments of the various series i have to congratulate you on the incredible amount of work and dedication these videos show. Kudos to you man

[@KandemirMithat]

Thanks for your videos and your efforts. Maybe you are not gaining too much subs or views but you are gaining our hearts.

Wein’s run was pretty good. His Green Goblin story was the highlight . I always had a soft spot for his Punisher story , as well. Mantlo is definitely one of the best . Defalco’s first run was really good , too. The Dematties Spectacular runs were some of my favorites. Aunt May should have STAYED dead after Amazing #400!

I'm going to read the entire run on Amazing Spider-Man in the Epic Collections. I'll start with the original run by Stan Lee with Ditko and Romita sr, Gerry Conway, Len Wein, Roger Stern, Marv Wolfman, Danny O'neil, Dan Slott, J. Michael Straczynski, Nick Spencer, Tom DeFalco, Peter David, J.M, Dematteis, David Michelinie, Spectacular Spider-Man by Bill Mantlo Paul Jenkin Spider-Man by Todd McFarlane The Spider-Man tie-ins on Civil War, Siege, Dark Reign, Amazing Spider-Man Brand New Day, Grim Hunt, Superior Spider-Man, Big Time, Goblin Nation, Avenging Spider-Man, Spider-Island, Scarlet Spider-Man by Christopher Yost, Clone Conspiracy, Red Goblin, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider By Peter David, And last but Unfortunately least, Amazing Spider-Man by Zeb Wells. At least Miles Morales by Cody Ziglar is doing well.

Last time I attempted something like this was the Hulk from debut to the present day. Took me months, and the character doesn’t have a fraction of the number of Spider-Man comics. I wish you luck! 🍀

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Gerry Conway’s work on Web Of And Spider-Man was really good, I thought. It had good character work and smaller stories. Tombstone was also a favorite, and he really excelled as a threat under Conway.

[@koenclijsen8874]

I agree 100%. Conway's work on Spider-Man with Sal Buscema and Alex Saviuk is my favourite Spider-Man era.

[@mawinstallation6626]

Excellent!! A much needed video, thank you so much

[@tonyraju631]

I was waiting for this Like forever

[@richardkujo]

I think I'll give Dan Slot run a chance even though I haven't read much of the old Runs.

[@comicbelief]

@@richardkujo Compared to Straczinski, who did his own thing apart from what came before him, Slott makes use of many known villains and themes from Spider-Man history, but you don’t need much prior knowledge to enjoy the stories. Any information required will be provided within the comics.

[@rickrivers2021]

Ok, no great moments in Conway's Spectacular and Web titles? You can't be serious! Introduction of Tombstone, and massive support and exploration of supporting cast characters Also, Dematteis spectacular makes top ten easy

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Can you do one for Iron Fist and Excalibur (The old 90’s series .)?

[@comicbelief]

It’ll come. But it’ll take some time. Between upcoming videos on Spider-Man and Superman, I have a lot to cover.

[@MastermindAXL]

The shade in this video with the comments on your opinion of these runs makes this a must-watch for any Spider-Fan! You and I also seem to have similar tastes, friend!

[@richardkujo]

I expected that Dan Slott's run on Spider-Man would be hated by everyone

[@mattiabenedetti4427]

Suggestion for a video: all superman ripoffs ranked

[@comicbelief]

I’ve been toying with that for a while. Characters based on Superman and Batman… at least the most blatantly obvious

[@matthewschwartz6607]

What did you think of the return of Norman Osborn ? I thought that the stories were really good, Spectacular #250 is a favorite of mine. But he probably should have stayed dead .

[@comicbelief]

At the time, I didn’t like it. Mostly due to hating the clone saga and the idea of bringing back dead characters. But when I look at how the character has been used in Thunderbolts and Dark Reign, I’m glad he’s around. They used to say everybody comes back except Bucky and Uncle Ben… then they brought back Bucky. 😂

[@eleanorrigby41]

​@@comicbelief and now in USM uncle Ben is alive

[@Shuvaki]

Is there a point where one continuity ends? Or the Peter from ASM VOL 1 is the same one as VOL 3,4,etc? when facing such large stories, i would also know if there is apart from a good starting point (although Spidey is a character where reading from its first all time issue is a great starting point and doesnt feel outdated at all) also a stopping point, like is there a version of the character which has an ending? Im on like issue 130 of ASM Vol 1 btw

[@comicbelief]

@@Shuvaki The short answer is yes, within the main continuity, the Peter Parker from Amazing Famtasy 15 is the same as today. But the character does evolve in time, and the modern character has traits that the original lacks. Given time, it’s possible to distinguish specific phases that do end, like the Black Costume Spider-Man going from Secret Wars to ASM 300. Every author brings his own take to the character, and some runs, particularly modern ones, do give its multiple story arcs a sense of ever higher stakes and a kind of conclusion. Not an ending, necessarily, since there’s going to be a next issue by a new writer, but a wrapping up. Straczynski does it, infamously. So does Slott, in better fashion. Within Slott’s run, Superior Spider-Man has a proper start and finish. There are also out-of-continuity runs that present a different take on the character. The best one is Ultimate Spider-Man, which ran for some 150 issues before giving Peter an ending and introducing Miles Morales. Now, this being Marvel, nothing ever truly ends, and Ultimate Peter does return, but yes, you can read it as having a beginning, middle and end. In fact, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

wildstorm you never did the wild storm runs right?

[@comicbelief]

No, I was actually working on it and I lost the file and been meaning to redo it ever since. It’ll come soon.

[@tonyraju631]

​@@comicbeliefI searched your channel for hours without knowing it😅

[@comicbelief]

@@tonyraju631 Sorry. It might take a while still, but it’s coming.

[@richardkujo]

paul jenkins is spider man run is good?

[@comicbelief]

It is. Not among the very best, but it’s solid with some very good stories. The interaction between Spider-Man and Green Goblin is played very well.

[@tonyraju631]

Supergirl run is coming right?

[@comicbelief]

Very soon. Together with every Superman run.

[@langpascal-e2h]

And Spider-girl?
