[@A-Jams]

I grew up on the Raimi films and I have always wanted to read this for so long, I cannot wait to get into this. I still can't believe I get to read how it all started, Spidey forever!

[@EvilDick1995]

I just started reading the comics back in November and before that my main love for Spider-Man came from the Raimi films. And they definitely remind me of the Raimi films more than the other ones.

[@jayguero2123]

@@EvilDick1995 That’s why they succeed. Raimi and the writers took what was great about the source material on the Lee-Ditko run, and amped it up to 11. The other films deliberately took their own liberties on the intent of not rehashing what was already done in those first 3 movies.

[@jarrettreynolds4560]

If you want a more affordable way to read these stories they have what you call Mighty Marvel Masterworks tpb. In 3 volumes you can have all these for about $45. Each volume is like $15. Easier way to read and afford them smaller book but way cheaper and better budget!

[@seejayy8608]

@Jarrett Reynolds appreciate this info. im on a budget myself so im definitely going with those tpb's.. thanks!

Wicked. Now if we can get a Michelinie/Bagley omnibus I'll be all set.

[@neildarr]

Yeah and them reprinting the Michellinie/ Larson one is another one I want besides Vol 4 . I have 2,5, roger stern , Michellinie / Mcfarlane

[@Sir_Stalker]

Micheline/Bagley is a must, as is a Volume 6 to connect to the Stern Omni, and a "Symbiote Saga" to bridge the gap between Stern and Micheline/McFarlane. If I get at least these 3 Omnis, I am done collecting =)

[@cheekyknave]

They should just print them in sequence - vol. 4, 5, 6, 7, etc. Not this "by Stern/Michelinie", etc. nonsense...

[@Sir_Stalker]

@@cheekyknave I use to think that as well. Would look great as a collection for sure! But there are two main problems. First is they already started these “author’s runs”, so if they decided to just do volumes of ASM now, sooner or later there would be double dipping. But most importantly, at a certain point in time, Spidey had multiple publications running in parallel, telling the same story arc. If they just did ASM volumes, we would miss out, or need to buy other omnis (which could take ages to be published) and jump between them every issue to follow a continuous story. Clone saga comes to mind, I think it’s spread between 5 different Spidey publications to tell a single story.

[@cheekyknave]

@@Sir_Stalker I understand where you are coming from, but they have been printing omni's fo years now & have only just announced SSM vol.1 for printing, yet we are on the 4th reprint of ASM vol.1? This could have been sorted years ago. Surely Marvel know that SM IP will sell. They even announced SM 2099 before WoSM...? No logic in the slightest... Whst about completing some of the hard to find classics (FF/Avengers/CA/Iron Man/Thor/Hulk, etc.) before these modern comics reprints...

[@eagleal]

Just bought issue 38 recently funnily enough (and the mighty marvel masterworks, and the new Penguin book too, you can't resist the pull of classic Spidey). I've got the original printing too on this one (along with FF vol.1), now I'm wondering if I need to double dip with those extras!

[@Ringmaster138]

Happy for anybody who doesn't have this who will now have an opportunity to buy it. I've got the third printing and it's a great book. I just wish marvel would continue printing at the Donnelly printer. The thin paper stock is disappointing, especially since this is a premium book. I don't know how DC does it, but the pages for even the new omnis are much thicker at mostly the same price points as the Marvel books. Hope Wolvie vol 3 is printed at the Donnelly printer

[@pohumnom]

Extras are definitely different from the 2019 reprint i have. Even your original printing has slightly different extras than the 2019 version (the Ditko cover is BW not colour in 2019, and it doesn't have that page of covers opposite the Ditko), although they are mostly the same .

[@mike1019831]

YES! This is the book I've been waiting for to fill that void once I get this book Ill have amazing Spider-Man omnibus vol 1-3 and vol 5. So now just need vol 4 to get that set complete for what has been released.

[@James-os9ku]

That's my strategy as well . I won't be start the reading until 1 to 5 are complete and available in the new printings as I want a continuous story. And I actually think the spine aesthetic on the new printings is actually better than the older printings ( unpopular opinion I know).

[@lewishutchison6174]

So is the Donnelly printer shut down?I really hope they don't start printing the Masterworks at IMAK.

No, they still print the masterworks and the gallery editions. And some Omnis. I just think they aren’t operating at full staff.

Hey Omar, I have the 2013 2nd edition/printing on this Omnibus. The colours and extras contents seem identical to your first print aside from the thickness. I've pulled my book out to compare to yours and the new print. My extras only go up to the Marvel Tales covers.

[@Fredsinator]

So glad I've already got this book, cos you can already tell that the pages are thin and have bleed through as soon as the book was opened. RIP this 11/10 book

[@gabrielrojo9510]

Best book ever. Save for the spine, of course 😅

[@MastermindAXL]

Ah, yes...some of the first "Spider-Man" comics I ever read. If you are a Spider-Man fan, even in the slightest, I encourage you to get this book. One of the finest Silver Age works you'll ever find and one of the most important, and iconic, classic runs of all time. Everybody is introduced from Spider-Man lore - from his supporting cast (Flash Thompson, Liz Allan, May Parker, Ben Parker, Betty Brant, J. Jonah Jameson, Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane Watson) to all of his villains (literally all of them except for Venom and Carnage - Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Lizard, Electro, Sandman, Kraven, Chameleon, Vulture, Mysterio, the Sinister Six, etc.). This is one heck of a book, and my personal pick for the best classic "Spider-Man" run. 60 years of Spider-Man never looked so good!

[@JCtheComicGeek]

This was the first omnibus I ever bought! Was on FB marketplace at the time for $50!

[@scottyg68]

Absolutely love this Omnibus! Have the gigantic 2nd printing,,but I ordered three copies of this book just to have them. Although I am not a fan of the smaller font size. Dudes at Marvel need to change that. As I get older I don’t wanna have to put on reading glasses to see which book I’m reading. Great overview!

[@dogmd7]

I think the only reason we'll be getting reprints of a lot of the OG silver age omnis will be to replace people's originals WITH the smaller font, so there's a good side to the smaller font at least.

[@ComicsGranPa]

For comics as old as these are it is surprising how readable and enjoyable the stories are. I’ve read the entire book and it is definitely a worth while read. One of the more interesting aspects of the book is how petty Peter Parker is as a character. He’s got major flaws, unlikeable flaws that make the stories quite interesting.
