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.
Hello all. I am very new to the comic world although i have seen most of the comic book movies in the past 10 years (the live action ones that everyone seems to hate). I was thinking it was about time to enter the world of comics so I picked four characters that seemed most interesting to me: deadpool, thor, the hulk, and spiderman. (i know these are now most household names especially because of the movies released, but they also seemed the most entertaining after reading abit on the internet.)
Now, onto another issue, because i chose 4, i would like to pick only a few of each to start with and eventually expand out.
What are, in your opinion, the most bare essential spiderman collections? I have heard great things about the death of spiderman story arc, and although I may not know ultimate spidermans full history, I feel like that would be a good pick up. What makes those the "must have" issues?
I'm not a major expert BUT I know that the Gauntlet reintroduces many of Spidey's villains and the JMS run on Spider-man is well liked amongst most of the comicviners. so yeah
big time and onward is great if you just want to start reading the new stuff, but if you want some history you should pick up some trades like the essential series.
