Amazing Spider-Man Classics Episode 4: Strange Tales Annual 2

Flamin’ fireballs! It’s the first-ever Spider-Man team-up and the lucky sonovagun is the Human Torch! Or, since technically this is Johnny Storm’s annual, maybe we should make him seem like the lead with Spidey the guest star? Ah, well, it doesn’t matter. This was a pretty wonky ride, so join Jon Wilson, Josh Bertone, and Donovan Grant, as they are joined by guest co-host Zach Henderson (from Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast), and get ready for “one of the most epic thrillers of all time!!” We also take a brief look at Spider-Man’s backup appearance in The Fantastic Four…

CSC Episode 72: Revelations…Part Four & Osborn Journal

There is a sense of the beginning of the end of this show. Peter Parker: Spider-Man 75 was the first time I had read a comic starring Peter Parker that wasn’t a tie into the cartoon (Adventures of Spider-Man) or a back issue since my very first issue, Spectacular Spider-Man 223. It was an introduction to Norman Osborn that I had only seen in the 90’s show, that leveled him to the top of the food chain in terms of Arch-villains. It’s one of, if not my single favorite issues of Spider-Man of all time, notwithstanding other issues such as…

CSC Episode 71: Revelations… Part One-Three

Here it is. Finally. The beginning of the end, for both Ben Reilly as we knew him, and of this show. It’s been nearly 10 years, with unforeseen twists and turns, but it’s finally here. I’ll share more thoughts on a lengthy post later, but for now, enjoy the first three parts of Revelations, with Josh, Don, Gerard, Greg, and Zach. Issues Covered in this Episode include:Spectacular Spider-Man 240Sensational Spider-Man 11Amazing Spider-Man 417

Amazing Spider-Man Classics Episode 3: Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4

“I almost wish for an opponent who’d give me a run for my money!” Oh, poor Spidey, be careful what you wish for. Because this week, Jon, Bertone, and Donovan wrap up their first round of episodes with Doctor Octopus and the Sandman! And they will both send Spider-Man running away with his spinnerets tucked between his legs. Since there was no episode last week, perhaps a word is due on the schedule of this podcast. It’s gonna be near-weekly. Every month, Jon is gonna go through a stack of issues with a team of cohorts, and those episodes will…

Amazing Spider-Man Classics Episode 2: ASM 1 & 2

The Webhead is back! Six months after his one-off story in the canceled Amazing Fantasy, Spider-Man was granted his own book, which hit shelves in late 1962. Jon, Bertone, and Donovan take a look at the introductions of such essential characters like J. Jonah Jameson and Betty Brant while laughing at Ditko’s cooky villains like the Tinkerer and the Chameleon. Amazing Spider-Man Classics is devoted to covering every issue of Spider-Man’s various titles, as well as every guest appearance or cameo in other books that we can find. Some notes: Right at the beginning of the discussion, I say that…
