INSIDE MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN
Peter Parker’s First Appearance
In Amazing Fantasy (1962) #15
Gotta start at the very beginning; really dig into what makes the character so popular and iconic.
Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #1-38
In The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #1
These original books showed us how the best stories are when Spider-Man and Peter Parker’s world collide.
Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man
In Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) #1
For us, Bendis’ work showed how you can respect the DNA of the franchise while mixing things up.
Brand New Day
In Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #546
A memorable fresh start for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man by the talented Dan Slott. Read through #548 for the full arc!
Mister Negative
In Dark Reign: Mister Negative (2009) #1
One of the ways we got up to speed on Mister Negative, a relative newcomer to Spidey’s rogues’ gallery.
Spider-Island
In Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #659
A great storyline that helped us become fans of Dan Slott’s work. Such a creative storyline! Read through #665 for the full arc!
Fantastic Team-Up
In Spider-Man/Fantastic Four (2010) #1
It’s always fun to see Spidey team up with other super heroes, including the likes of Marvel’s first family.
Spider-Man by Christos Gage
In Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #661
Spidey stories penned by Christos Gage. His work with the Wall-Crawler (and other well-known comics) throughout the years made him a great fit to help us craft a great narrative for this game.
The Dark Kingdom
In The Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #6
Another great story featuring Mister Negative in which he follows Spider-Man all the way to Shanghai! Also, what amazing (pun intended) cover art by Alex Ross!
Miles Morales: Spider-Man
In Spider-Man (2016) #1
For so long we’ve seen Pete fight alongside the likes of Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man. It was great to see it be Miles’ turn!
