Ok so i want to start reading The amazing spiderman from issue 1 and i found this thing called Essential Amazing Spiderman which includes some Amazing spiderman issues each (correct me if im wrong) but i can only find 11 of them so then im sitting on 248 issues of the amazing spiderman, so im wondering is there anything else that goes from there all the way to issue 700 or whatever. :)

I believe that's it. I started read Essential Amazing Spiderman and then I got hooked on collecting the actual comics. My wife said I have a problem but it's an AWESOME problem. I like the newer stuff also.

@rwissinger1: What comes after essential tho? there's only like 11 of them right?

Do it.
