    Spider-Man

    Character » Spider-Man appears in 17243 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.

    Where should I start with the recent Amazing Spider-man issues?

    Either start at the beginning of Dan Slott's run (Brand New Day) or Spider-Island.

    It all depends. Slott has said that if you start at Amazing Spider-man 698 you will be completely in the loop for when Superior Spider-man starts. However if you want to read the other stuff to dig a little deeper I would recommend Grim Hunt its part of what sets up Spider-Island. If you don't want to read Grim Hunt skip to Spider-Island but I recommend reading it!

    I'll state here, just start at Grim Hunt as recommended. Awesome story.
