Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus)

Product Information

Electro is a cool villain and a real threat for Spider-Man. The subplot of May’s illness is good, though Betty and Peter’s rift seems somewhat forced; it’s still not my favorite. Also, much like the first Vulture defeat, Electro’s end comes out of nowhere. However, I feel like that last panel really works for me and the action is fun, so I’m willing to forgive quite a bit. Ditko and Lee created many of the classic villains, and this collection contains many of them. While the collection tapers off some, the art remains great throughout.

The Tarantula arrives, and he’s at least got a somewhat new scheme that causes complications for Spider-Man. The Tarantula gets more interesting later; his death, actually. However, here, he’s more of a prop for the surprise guest!No fights needed, only responsibility. It’s a pure character and consequences issue, and I am here for it. What else was great? Well the art naturally. Steve Ditko's work here is incredible. Ditko didn't go for realism, but rather a unique and inimitable style. Nowhere, before or since (sorry McFarland) was Spidey's unnatural athleticism captured so completely. Simply wonderful. With so many classic moments and characters, this Omnibus delivers it all with wonderful reproductions and colour work including the letters and design of the original. A fascinating document and a lovely, if chunky book. A máme tu hlavně origin Spider-mana provázaný s jeho osudovou lekcí o zodpovědnosti, který se neobešel bez legendárního "S velkou mocí..." řečeným ve žlutém vypravěčském rámečku a ne strejdou Benem. Origin a první výskyt zde nachází i většina slavných Spider-manových záporáků. Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber) was an American writer, editor, creator of comic book superheroes, and the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.

So, I like Mysterio, but this issue seems like a lot of repeated themes. Spider-Imposter stealing things, Betty frustratingly worrying, and J. Jonah Jameson being webbed at the end, Even Mysterio seems to mostly just have smoke. He does a few other things, but that’s all to confound Spidey before the smoke. The movie studio fight is fun, and Mysterio posing as a hero is nice, but it just leads to very samey Jonah stuff. It’s not a bad issue, this is where the series starts to spin its wheels sometimes. Of course, no character is more of a fan-favorite than Peter Parker – Spider-Man – himself. Reading his earliest comic book exploits was truly an enjoyable experience for me considering that, up until this point, my experiences with the character came from all other forms of media except comic books. These old comics from the 1960s were as new to me as the day they were first printed, giving me a personally unique experience with Spider-Man even in this day and age, one that people who are already familiar with the comics may unfortunately miss out on when perusing this omnibus. One of the best things about this massive collection was how it made me feel like I was meeting Spider-Man for the first time all over again, and it has made me eager to read more! Lee and Ditko changed the face of comics with Spider-Man and this complete Ditko run is phenomenal. Everything is there from the beginning, starting with the concise and perfect origin story then building up Pete and his world, the fantastic supporting cast, the pathos and teenage spirit, the (to me) best rogues gallery in the history of comics and the sheer vibrant joy. It's all right off the bat.

The beginning of the Master Planner Saga! It’s also the first Empire State University story, but Gwen and Harry are kind of jerks in their first appearances. This isn’t helped by Flash, and I can’t help but long for the time when they will all be friends. The continuation of the outsider stuff from high school is out of place because college is very different. I think the Master Planner arc starts of well as Peter’s life spins out of control. A strong conclusion to a great trilogy. It’s not quite as good as the first two, but it wraps up everything with the Sandman, Enforcers, and of course, J. Jonah Jameson. It also features the first appearance of Ned Leeds who is fine here, but will cause Peter to get frustratingly jealous soon. Also, Spidey repays the Human Torch for issue 17 with a save. Okay, I gave the Goblin some crap about his first appearance, but I genuinely think his second is great. Not necessarily for him, but because of the unique structure, ending, and fallout in this issue and beyond. It’s got some good use of the Human Torch as a guest star, and I love the respect building between Spidey and the Torch. Honestly, the only problems I have are the continued poor handling of Liz and Betty.

Betty Brant stuff bookends the issue, though it’s not really relevant. I actually like the dream opening. Then, Kraven uses Chameleon tactics, which will have more ramifications in the 80s; otherwise, it’s mostly stuff we’ve seen. Ah, the first relative dud. Even Stan Lee admits that aliens and Spider-man don’t really mix, especially not this early. It’s nice to see the sciency side of Spider-man, but the Tinkerer and his plan aren’t great. The aliens even get retconned out in the 70s Honestly, this is a solid issue. Now I’ve hated a Torch issue and liked a Goblin issue! What is happening? This episode has a little of the jealousy plague, but the Goblin’s plan is great as is Spider-Man’s call to Aunt May. This is the kind of Gobby I like. This volume covers the first-ever Spider-Man arc as written by Stan Lee and plotted/illustrated by Steve Ditko. As a lover of history and, of course, comics, it's essential reading.Chvilku jsem váhal zda tomu přeci jen nevystřelit "jen" 4, ale to prostě nejde. K takhle starým kouskům se nemůže přistupovat bez nějakých ohledů. Some good action, though I feel like punching a guy named Hammerhead in the head is a pretty stupid move. I’m not sure about the gang war part;it all seems a little rushed. The end is pretty funny, though.
