New Comic Day! Ultimate Spider-Man by #JonathanHickman #MarcoChecchetto! This run has so far been slower, more character based than your standard Spidey comics which is enjoyable. I’m definitely enjoying this but I am beginning to wonder where it’s going.

“Back before we became friends, Parker used to tease me for not being as bright as he is. I wonder if he knew how much that hurt?” I enjoy when the other Spider-Man comics delve into the personalities of side characters, like here with Flash Thompson. #marvel #spiderman

Ben Reilly, hands down. Scarlet Spider was awesome, but I especially loved when he took over as Spider-Man. That suit is still the best Spider-Man design to date. Who’s your favorite?

ASM Annual#1 where #Spiderman fights six of his greatest villains! #SteveDitko goes wild on the artwork and the annual is a definite classic.

My Outback mug. Last time I really enjoyed the X-Men until Hickman.

Okay comicsky! What is the greatest punch in comic book history? 🤔

ASM #13-#17 by #SteveDitko and #StanLee! These issues are AMAZING (Pun very much intended). We get the first appearance of the Green Goblin and Kraven the Hunter, AND the first Daredevil-Spider-Man team up and the second Goblin battle. The balance of action and soap opera are perfect! #Spiderman

ASM #10-#13 by #SteveDitko and #StanLee! Spider-Man is defeated by Doc Ock and unmasked! He is framed by Mysterio! Worst of all, he has to deal with Fancy Dan!!!!!!! These old ASM issues are tons of fun and everybody should read them at some point.

ASM #9 featuring the debut of Electro! Dig that gorgeous #SteveDitko splash page. It captures everything #Spiderman is about in one image. This issue gives us a classic set up with a sick Aunt May, some Betty Brant romance, and Peter ripping off JJJ. #StanLee on words!

I have officially quit Twitter. When Stephen King is out, it’s time for me to be out too. If you are new to following me, I usually post old comics and try to share my love of the medium. Right now I’m running through the #SteveDitko and #StanLee #Spiderman run. I’ll probably go through Romita too.

ASM #7 and #8 by #StanLee and #SteveDitko. The Vulture returns, Peter flirts with Betty, and we get a Tribute to Teenagers!!! I’m a big fan of the classmate related stuff during this era and you can’t beat a fight between Peter and Flash. The Living Brain not so much. #Spiderman.

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

ASM #6 by #SteveDitko and #StanLee. #Spiderman battles the Lizard in Florida! Ditko’s facial expressions are impossible to beat and makes these comics a major joy to read 60 or so years later!!!!

Magneto pulled out Wolverine’s adamantium once but think how tempting it was every other time.

Morrison on New X-Men blows me away every time. I know some people were pissy about the Magneto arc but man oh man does this run HUM. There are like six ideas an issue you could focus an entire arc on. #XMen.
