The goal of this blog is pretty simple - to review every Amazing Spider-man from #1-#652. If I pick up more I'll just add them to the list, but as of this writing I can guarantee reviews of those! Obviously, items such as story and art are going to have to be graded on a curve, considering similar comics of similar time frames, but c'mon - it's not just about the grade. This is the main Spider-Man comic where his character has developed for almost 40 years. This is about the journey!
Spider-man went from comic book hero to cartoon and live action hero in a time frame comparable only to Superman, and he is a cultural icon that will likely last for another 40 years, no matter how many deals with Mephisto he makes. His journey also mirrors the journey of the comics industry itself. The styles change, the technology changes, and clones come and go. I'll make sure to touch on all of these as we journey over 652 (or more) issues!
So stick around and we'll hit all the major villains, the embarrassing stories, and anything else that might strike my fancy that would be spider related!
