SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MEN #1 (2024) Comic Review

Hey everyone! Welcome to my first written review on Spidey-dude.com since Methuselah was a small child. Normally I wouldn’t write such things, as I am usually a podcaster here, but I felt that it was warranted since today is the launch day of The Spectacular Spider-Men. Since it was announced last November, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the book, and even did an episode of the Spideydude Experience, specifically to discuss the series and how it came about.

CSC Episode 10: Players and Pawns, ASM 400, Aftershocks (April 1995)

There are certain episodes of books that are iconic. For many, ASM 400 was a bright spot in the sea of darkness when the Clone Saga was coming out. Originally intended to be the final chapter of the series, the original idea had already been extended out well beyond its original 6-Month storyline. This also has the first issue that Zach ever got: Spectacular 223. This episode features the end of the Players and Pawns two-parter, The Gift, a one-shot with a cliffhanger, and Aftershocks, the aftermath of ASM 400. These books also featured a series of Back-ups that would…
