*Near Mint has my permission to pin this comment, because I want everyone to see how good this book is! This Omnibus was one of the first Omnis I ever bought (I think the third?) and this run introduced me to 616 Spider-Man. Not only is it my favorite 616 Spider-Man run (the first 36 issues are flawless in my opinion), it is the best modern Spider-Man run that fully understands the character and makes him a true Spider-MAN. Issue 500 made me dang near cry, "Interlude" and "The Conversation" were heartbreaking, "Vibes" was incredible...and "Coming Home" is, in my humble opinion, the greatest Spider-Man story of the modern age (as in 2000 to now). I consider myself a Spider-Man aficionado, and I implore anyone who is looking to get into the character: PLEASE pick this book up. The character work between Peter, May, and MJ (The Parker Family) makes this one of the best reads you'll experience.

Can't wait to get my copy, I've had my volume 2 ready for months just waiting for this to be reprinted!

[@Cyberbot2484]

Such a great run by JMS. Took huge risks with Spider Man, and had a definitive ending coming. Of course, there were a few things I absolutely despised ( Gwen Stacy) but he had a payoff we did not get to read. It's disgraceful how Marvel editorial stepped in. It's ok to finish a character and story. Look at Invincible. A beginning, a middle and an end. Marvel had that here and failed on an epic level from which Spidey never recovered. Can they bring back JMS to finish what he started?

[@positiveproductions6699]

They could but unfortunately I don't think that will ever happen but then again maybe that Joe casada is no longer with the company maybe it's a possibility I hope so because to me it seems like he never even wanted to write one more day he was just forced to I could be wrong but that's what it seems like in my opinion

[@goldenlantern7938]

What was the payoff we didn’t get to read?

[@DigitaIJustice]

I love how you went more into the story in the video as opposed to the last one! I am one of the few people who love spoilers, it makes me want to see how that spoiler actually plays out. Someone summary of the events is not the same as experiencing, to me.

[@TevyaSmolka]

It still breaks my heart ❤️ that Jms Spider-Man run got destroyed by editorial bullshit which lead to the terrible one more day garbage.

[@NearMintCondition]

I will say I love his run so much, but his idea of Sins Past wasn’t that much better than what we got. OMD… yeah

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@NearMintCondition I can understand that criticism especially with Sins past however I maintained his original idea with that story could've worked because the original idea were supposed to be the twins were peter and Gwen's kids and I assumed those kids were kidnapped and brainwashed by either Norman Osborn which I would've been fine with that, but nope instead of doing that we got the terrible retcon of Gwen sleeping with Norman Osborn which in retrospect was bad yes but I don't blame JMS fully for that story I blame more Joe Quesada and his sick twisted obsession of not letting peter and Gwen Stacy not even have sex and let her this perfect little angel that did nothing wrong which in my opinion is just sick and twisted and wrong on so many levels that it ain't even funny but that's just my opinion. Now that being the said though I maintained that sins past is a bad story yes but the good news is though thanks to nick spencer who wrote the current ASM run before that got destroyed recently we did get a another retcon that basically destroyed sins past and retconned it out of existence which I approve so that's the good news at least, the bad news is though is that unfortnately is that we still have the major problem of one more day still effecting Peter parker and Mary jane for some stupid reason and it drives me crazy that nobody wants to address the problem and just let Peter parker and Mary jane be married couple and let them have there daughter Spider-girl mayday parker alive and kicking in the main marvel universe because a lot of people myself included want Peter parker and Mary jane to be married and have there daughter mayday parker alive and kicking in the main marvel universe and have peter parker move forward with his life and stop holding him back and let him be a actual adult but that's just my opinion.

[@DanV900]

@@TevyaSmolka Sins Past wasn’t bad in retrospect. It was horrible as it came out with the decision to make Norman the father. JMS was involved in that decision and kept apologizing for it so he is not innocent. It wasn’t just Quesada with Sins Past where ultimately JMS was onboard.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@DanV900 true yes but i think the solution could've been about harry osborn being the father.

[@HawkEyeTS]

I ended up getting one of the copied of the original printing for this, and then ended up getting one of the square spine printings of vol.2, so I'm set on the Spider-Man side. What I'm really waiting for is the Thor by JMS reprint, which hasn't had a new printing for nearly 12 years now. I hope the long wait is due to something like expanding it as a new omnibus to include small run between JMS and Fraction's run, by Gillan, and not because of something more complicated. Hopefully something happens on that front in the coming year.

[@robd1329]

I was going to preorder this ...but i got Very lucky and someone on ebay had listed this omnibus vol 1 and 2 'sealed' from the first print run 'flat square binding' and was selling them together for $100.00! I hit that Buy It Now faster than a spidermans webbing and got them!

[@joshuatehhonguan]

I love this run, the TPB vol. 1 was actually my first ever comic book and Spidey has always been my favorite superhero. But I have to disagree about the 9/11 issue and the reaction of the villains. These people have literally enslaved, bombed, and murdered innocents for years and years, and yet they draw the line here? That just never sat right with me and felt like surface-level emotional manipulation. Will still be getting this, though. 😄

[@KO-cp9ws]

Right there with you on the villains reactions to 9/11. It REALLY rankled me that Doom of all people would react the way he did. THAT issue was the only one I had issues with.

[@hankmoody4610]

"Until the stars turn cold" 😭 (or until OMD..) This run has the best characterization for Peter Parker, Mary Jane and Aunt May. I love it so much. It was the last time Peter Parker was Peter Parker, true to the character's history. After volume 2, Marvel soft rebooted the character and he's never been the same since. Even though this run includes (probably) the 2 worst Spider-man stories ever, it's still one of the best Spider-man runs. This shows how good the rest of the material is. And those 2 stories can be ignored, as they were not how the writer indended them to be. They were forced by Marvel's editors.

[@josephpatrick6672]

Spencer corrected one of those awful stories, so I read it with that in mind now. I wish he was allowed to fix the other even worse one, but I believe editorial wouldn't let him.

[@juuso7792]

Yeah Peter just hasn't been the same since OMD. The only time since that when I have felt that somebody really understood him was during the few short stories by Roger Stern during Brand New Day.

Thanks for this overview of Amazing Spider-Man by Straczynski Volume 1, Omar!

[@willmaughan4404]

I was really considering picking this up , as I remember reading these issues when I was a kid and loving them! I only wish that Marvel would consider giving modern stories, from 1998 onwards, the kind of Epic Collection treatment that they’ve afforded the stories leading up to the late nineties. I understand there are complete collections/ultimate collections but most of those are long out of print and are near impossible to get ahold of for a reasonable price in 2022, and Marvel doesn’t seem to be in the habit of reprinting those, which I’ve often found strange, given that they’re quite willing to reprint Epics and Omnibuses. I do own multiple omnibuses but I’ve found they’re quite cumbersome to sit with and don’t give me that “relaxing-with-a-comic-book” feeling that you get with paperbacks/shorter volumes. Here’s hoping that one day Marvel might consider releasing a “Modern Epic Line” to cater to those of us that prefer these fantastic post-1998 stories in paperback. As always, great work, Omar!

[@newspooiechannel]

I bought most of these issues when they first came out and I was already a Babylon 5 fan. As far as I remember, they were my first issues of Amazing Spider-Man ever. Just great! I really should have bought one of the printings of this omnibus when it first came out. They have become really expensive now, and I'm seriously thinking about buying the Kindle edition until, hopefully, there will be a third printing. And yes, I did vote for it in the in the Marvel Omnibus 2024 Reprint Poll. I really hope many others did as well.

[@SupermanKalL]

Just the other day I got The Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski Omnibus Vol. 1 (2nd printing) (Mike Deodato direct market variant cover) for half price, brand new at a local comics shop having a post-Christmas/ New Year's sale offering graphic novels at half price for the entire month of January. I'm in Canada and it was half of the Canadian cover price down to $78.13 before taxes. I had no intention of even getting the book, as I had read and collected the series at the time, but it's been many years since I've read writer J. Michael Straczynski's run on Amazing Spider-Man, and seeing the book as part of the sale, I was motivated to give this era a re-read again. I thought JMS' run was good overall, but I thought it started getting stale towards the end with stories such as "Sins Past" was questionable, and then the finale to his run "One More Day" which was controversial for dropping Peter and Mary Jane's marriage wiped off, as then Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada wanted their marriage gone, thinking it ages up the character and new younger readers can't relate to Spidey being married. Kept hearing JMS was reluctant about this plot idea and connecting it to the Civil War event as well, which JMS was not a fan of writing his stories tying in to crossover events, which led to his later runs on both Thor and Fantastic Four being short stints, after his experience with dealing crossover events at Marvel which he disliked.

[@DanV900]

People who are asking for the volume 2 reprint have no idea what they’re asking for honestly. It sucks except for the Back in Black story. One More Day is awful, The Other isn’t good, and Skin Deep stinks too. It is a disaster where you should just stop before Sins Past in this volume.

The love of Peter’s life has sex with Norman who was her father’s age since she feels bad for him and has his children that grow faster? Absolutely abysmal and disgusting. Peter never even had sex with her which is stated in the story. There are panels shown of Norman and Gwen together. Now if you’re into that, more power to you, but you are in the minority on that one and for good reason. It makes the death of Gwen Stacy worse and MJ also knew which makes it worse too. Just absolute trash. The best part of Nick Spencer’s run was retconning Sins Past where JMS still apologizes for it.

Hello there!

[@dacollector4452]

Hi 👋

[@inuitatiane5503]

Sins Past and One More Day were awful. The rest is a very nice, different take on the hero.

[@abivallamattam]

Just my opinion : I didn't much like this series cuz of peters Rocky relationship with everyone PS : ultimate is my favourite

[@hankmoody4610]

I love this series because of Peter's relationship with everyone 😅. I think his relationships with MJ and aunt May are the best ever in this book. Ultimate is awesome too, but it's another universe.

[@abivallamattam]

@@hankmoody4610 that's what makes the comics special there are different books for different people...

[@hankmoody4610]

@@abivallamattam of course. there is so much material.

[@chrislister570]

I just cannot justify having Sins Past on my shelf.

[@BowmansWorld]

Dan slott run is better.

[@DanV900]

It’s not where it’s so long and other than Big Time which is a good sequel to this run and Superior Spider-Man, the run is a lot more miss than hit. It was unnecessarily long.

[@badmojo7825]

I ONLY read or collect Spider-Man from the 70's, 80's & 90's. I hate what Marvel started doing with Spider-Man after 1999. For example, Gwen Stacy or One More Day. Why couldn't Marvel just CREATE DIVERSITY the OLD FASHION WAY? Let Peter Parker & Mary Jane Parker make a little Spider Baby. Spider-Man fans could watch Peter's daughter grow up to be Spider-Girl to carry on her father's legacy! And it's just MY OPINION, but John Romita JR IS NOT HALF AS GOOD an artist as Mike Deodato Jr., I would have been tempted to keep reading Spider-Man if Deodato Jr. was drawing the book instead of JR JR. I have NEVER liked JR JR's art. I hated it when he came onto the X-Men book in the 90's. Because when I look at his 90's art and all the way up to today, ALL I can think of is MINECRAFT. And Straczynski CAN'T TOUCH Roger Stern or David Michelinie!

[@wavycrockett9351]

This run was just okay to me and the art was terrible 👎🏾

[@TheIkaika777]

That is some pretty bad cartoony art. 🤦🏼‍♂️
