Ask and ye shall recieve...Niobe said:Could someone recommend me a good Spidey read available on internet? You see, guys, its not like everybody can order books on amazon...
Captivated said:I was actually looking for compulations and novels... but I know what you mean about the good ole days!
Is the SSM referenced above the same title contained in the Essential just released? It's the first one (and I have them all) that seemed slow to me... new supporting cast, lack of relationships... ok, but not great.
stillanerd said:I was wondering if you have a copy of The Ultimate Spider-Man Anthology. No, not the one by Brain Michael Bendis, I mean this one:
It contains 13 different prose stories written by those who have worked on the comic book, along with some illustrations by his various artists. One of the stories is actually a novella that reimagines of Spider-Man's origin and it written by Peter David and good 'ol Stan Lee himself that's actually faithful to the original story, plus ties Doctor Octopus into as well (and yes, this is were John Byrne got his inspiration for Chapter One). However, the best of the bunch is another story by Peter David called "Five Minutes" which I have no doubt you'll positively love. There's no major villains, no pointless drag-out fights for no apparent reason--just a private glimpse into the lives of Peter and Mary Jane that will reaffirm your belief that these two belong together (as if you really need convincing ). Your best bet is Amazon.com. Hope this helps.
Absolutely! I finished the last story yesterday (it was a collection of short stories) and it was GREAT! Loved it. Especially the Peter David story "Five Minutes."dan1 said:OH mY GOD! I forgot about that book. What an awesome f****ing read!!!!!!!! I read it in 2 days and it was simply brilliant.

Also, check out the links in my first post for some decent fan fiction.
Down These Man Streets... yeah. It was good.3dman27 said:have you tried the recent spidey novel?
Wasn't that great? LOVED it. I got all misty at the end...Niobe said:Thanx for the link
Ive already read the fanfics /along with many others on fanfiction.net/.
Loved "Just a Face on a Train "
Loved the Spidey/Torch book... Is the She-Hulk/Spidey by Slot too?Shadowknight said:She-Hulk #4, first volume, if you haven't read it. Spider-man and She-Hulk team-up to take out his greatest foe!
Spider-Man/Human Torch trade paperback.
Oh yeah. I know it's practically mandatory for Spidey to show up in a newly launched book for sales reasons, but I think Slott was going to tell this tale anyway. Good one.Captivated said:Loved the Spidey/Torch book... Is the She-Hulk/Spidey by Slot too?
Captivated said:THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you... to all who recommended Adam-Troy Castro's books... The Sinister Six trilogy.
I found The Gathering of the Sinister Six FINALLY on Ebay and, from what I have seen, it was a steal at $16. I just finished reading it today. LOVED it!
This guy has a way with characters and descriptions... I never knew Mysterio could be such a threat. Although, I think Spidey should have been able to handle him a little more quickly there at the end... but I won't spoil it. I also thought he did a great job with Mary Jane's character and her and Peter's relationship. I really got to know her better. Current writers would do well to take a clue... there is a lot of potential in her character that was well used here.
Can't wait to read the other two in the trilogy now... I'll probably blow off the 101 other things I should be doing and start it tomorrow!
Absolutely!Doc Ock said:Welcome to the wonderful world of Castro.That guy rocks at writing Spidey IMO. I'd love him to write a movie script,or one of the Spidey titles. He knows the characters so well.
He really does have a knack for the characters doesn't he. And he's great at building suspense too IMO. He leaves little cliffhangers at the end of chapters,so you just HAVE to keep reading to find out what happens next.
Castro's novels gave me a new found respect for Electro, Vulture, Chameleon, Mysterio, and yes even though I thought I could have no higher respect for him than I already did,Doc Ock
And MJ was also used very effectively in these novels. Wait til you read the rest of the trilogy. I really connected with her, and how she feels about Peter and his life as Spidey.
Captivated said:His writing, even about things familiar, like the death of Peter's parents, really gives insight and makes it all so compelling. Now I'm afraid his books are going to spoil me for any others.
Has he ever written a comic? IMO, we need to petition Marvel to put Castro on ASM, ASAP!
