    Spider-Man

    Character » Spider-Man appears in 17242 issues.

    Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.

    Are Spidey books part of continuity?

    I just finished reading this and in the front the author says you don't need to read or know Spider-Man history but he does put in where it takes place in it. 
    It occurs between the time MJ starts her career in the theater but before Spidey joins the Avengers, also before events in Spectacular Spider-Man #'s 15-20 the "Dissembled" storyline. 
    I admit, I doubt this story is ever related to in the comics, but I still have to ask, would you consider it part of his continuity?

    Unless there's a direct conflict with his current story, might as well.  Spidey is in a bit of a soupy mess with his continuity thanks to the retcons they put on him.

    @TheCrowbar: So it doesn't really matter in this case then, lol, if it was it may not be now. 
     
    I was just thinking I suppose this question could be asked of any of these books.  I know Wolverine, Daredevil, X-Men and others are out there as well.

    No... Spidey is very much his own mess, One More Day was really bad, it threw much of Spiderman's continuity into the air.  The graphic novels for the others are generally considered canon, unless it's a crossover or it kills the hero at the end.  Like All Star Superman isn't part of continuity, it's pretty clear it's not.
