Spider-Man By Michelinie & Larsen Omnibus Review

[@storageanddisposal]

Larsen's Spider-Man started out heavily influenced by McFarlane, but definitely grew into his own. At his peak, his Spider-Man is one of my favorites.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I've come around a bit on Larsen's art since I did this review, it's still not my favourite but I think I was probably a bit too harsh on it from what I remember

[@JJ-qo3cz]

I want to get this one in September of 2024 when they reprint it, in June 2024 they are having a Mark bagley omnibus which takes place after Eric Larsen Omnibus, get both for like $75.00, a piece.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Yeah great it's getting reprinted! And I'm definitely getting the Bagley omnibus, there's some good stuff in there!

[@jjm6187]

Do you think this omnibus could be skipped and go from Michelinie/Mcfarlane to Michelinie/Bagley(upoming) ? It doesn't sound like there are major story progressions in this run. Would appreciate your thoughts!

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Overall yeah I think most of this can be skipped, a lot of these issues are just kind of average to me. There's nothing particularly good or bad. I'd say worth reading digitally rather than tracking down the omnibus

[@sharpc-tudent]

Have you managed to find the michelinie/bagley omnibus anywhere to pre-order? I find it nowhere :/

[@TheComicBookTrove]

@@sharpc-tudent I don't think it's available for pre-order anywhere yet, it'll probably be available to order in the next month or two

[@jjm6187]

@@sharpc-tudent there are listings but it's not been available to pre order yet.

Cosmic Spider-Man, 350’s fight vs Doom, a couple of classic early Venom stories, and the two greatest SinnisteSix stories of the 90s isn’t enough!?🤡😂 …the book immediately went to shit after the Carnage story, and Bagleys art never stood up against McFarlane’s or Larsen’ss

[@Toracube]

I quite liked the Omni… though I was concerned when spidey started flying….and shooting layers out of his arms…I was thinking ‘what have they done?!!!’ It was kinda old school… not the art..but the pacing… imo.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Yeah this book isn't great, I don't actually have it anymore and I've never missed it. Just not many great issues overall and Larsen's art just isn't really for me

[@robd1329]

I just bought this last month. It was not cheap and have yet to read it. Ive been stuck reading Vol. 1 of 1963 Spiderman

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Hopefully you enjoy it when you get a chance to read it!

[@GabrielLopez-gg2mv]

Thank you for the video. I am sorry that you didn't like this book. I guess from my point of view Bagley, Larsen, Buscema, Frenz and Romita are of the greatest artists in Spider-Man. During my youth Mcfarlane rule in word and everything was listed in accordance his work; but now, I re-read all what he did and I enjoy it, but is not as enjoyable as all other artists. This book is of the most valuable for me, but I really appreciate your video and comments. Regards.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I'm glad you like it! We can't all enjoy everything, Larsen's artwork just isn't for me but I know plenty of people like this era!

[@dwade3553]

Great review. Do you think that this will eventually get reprinted?

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Thanks! And yeah I think so, as far as Marvel omnibuses go there aren't many that I think won't get reprinted at some point

[@kyleanderson4406]

Still kicking myself for missing out on this when I had a chance. Loved Larsen’s Spidey run. Here’s hoping it gets a reprint in 2023.

[@JJ-qo3cz]

​@@kyleanderson4406 this is getting reprinted in September 2024, look at it at Cheap graphic novels and organic priced books. I need this one to the out of print 🖨 one they want like $250.00, when they come back in print its like $60.00 to $75.00 , for a copy.

[@JJ-qo3cz]

The reprint come out in September of 2024 for like $75.00, bought on line instead of $250.00

[@ejthecollector]

Did you mean mr fantastic? (Said me incredible)

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Haha yeah I did, I recently watched The Incredibles so guess that name was in my mind!

[@donaldallen9804]

Todd McFarlane's work to me is not enjoyable and any artist that tries to emulate his work is even worse

[@TheComicBookTrove]

He's definitely got one of those styles that's not going to work for everyone. I like McFarlane's art overall but I really struggle with Larsen's artwork here because it does really just feel like an inferior imitation
