Ah, the official start of Bagley's run on Amazing Spider-Man.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yup! And a great artistic run it was. I loved Erik Larsen's run as well though.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Bagley's art is more impressive, undeniably (to me that is) the best Spider-Man artist of the 90s

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Romita jr's work in the 90's was beyond brilliant, if you ask me.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

It's better than his recent work

I remember the Spider Slayers from the 90's animated series. Giant robotic spiders.

"It's more agile than I ever imagined!"

One of my faovrite covers my Larsen from his ASM run. Always loved his Sandman,Doc Ock, and Spidey.

The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex are the lucky suckers who interviewed Webb. Here are some highlights from that chat: ​

-- "The wealth of material [in the span of the comics] -- whether it's story or character -- is really profound but I also feel it's my responsibility to reinvent it in some ways," says Webb.

The director namedrops Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, pointing out that in the earliest Spidey comics Peter Parker was "a nerd with big glasses. ... What was important in those early comics was this notion that Peter Parker is an outsider and how we define that in a contemporary context [is important]. That, I think, was one of the challenges for us -- getting Peter Parker's outsider status to be current. Peter Parker is a real kid. He's not a billionaire. He's not an alien. He's a kid who gets picked on and gets shoved to the outside. The 90-pound weakling, that's who Spider-Man is when he gets bit. So much of the DNA of the character is the fact that he was a kid when he got bit. He is imperfect, he is immature and has a bit of a punk rock instinct. In his soul he's still a 90-pound weakling even after [the transformative bite]." ​

-- "I love a lot of the Ultimate Spider-Man artwork and story lines, there's a lot more of an adolescent, playful quality," he says. "And I think that's a big part of [the] Spider-Man universe and hasn't really been explored cinematically before." ​

-- As for differences between his and Sam Raimi's films, expect more stunts that are "grounded physically." His team has "spent months and months and months developing rigs so he could swing in a way that wasn't computer-generated. Obviously there's going to be enhancements and CG [sequences], but it's based in a physical reality and that's a new technique [for this film brand]."

-- The villain is "new" and "something we haven't seen before and villains help define the story in a very specific way."

Mr. Webb is surely impressed by the classic spidey comics by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko! Isn’t that good news for us?​

Love Michilinie is a great writer

 

[craigaat]

I only really come on this forum for movie related news but looking at this thread and all the covers has reminded me of how many issues of TASM I had as a kid.

Must find them...
