We’re back with Issue #2 of the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man prequel comic! (Click Here if you missed the write-up for Issue #1!) Now we didn’t get as many reveals about this universe’s lore as we did in the first issue, but we got to see Spider-Man in action for more or less the first… Read more: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Prequel Comic #2: What We Know

Hey there True Believers! While we impatiently await Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, coming to Disney+ January 29, Marvel has so graciously decided to satiate us with a prequel comic series (by Christos Gage), of which I’ve read the first issue! What makes this special is that this is the first glimpse into the… Read more: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Prequel Comic #1: What We Know

I’m busting into the 2024 Nova-themed Marvel Unlimited Annual Plus Membership Kit this week in Merry Marvel Mayhem! Overall, I’m pretty happy with this year’s kit! The comics are great (especially the Marvels one with my name on it!) I love new pins, the patch is cool, and the Nova figure is great. That’s it… Read more: 2024 Marvel Unlimited Annual Plus Membership Kit Unboxing

When Spider-Man: No Way Home came out, I went into the comic shop and got to talking about it with my buddy Eric. I mentioned how I’d wished they’d had one more villain in the movie to make it Spider-Man (or Men, as it were) vs. the Sinister Six. “Now I have a theory.” Eric… Read more: Ultimate Six Comic Review

Okay, so this is just my personal opinion, but Miles Morales really, really needs his own codename. Of course it didn’t matter when he was introduced in the Ultimate Universe, because Peter Parker was dead, and he was the only Spider-Man in town. But after the 2015 Secret Wars, Miles joined the 616 cannon, where they… Read more: Miles Morales NEEDS his Own Codename

5/5 Marvel! Let’s gooo! When Marvel announced these variant covers (based on Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales) for the past few issues of Amazing Spider-Man and Miles Morales: Spider-Man, I knew I had to have them! In fact, the one for Amazing Spider-Man #55 revealed that the Prowler was in the game! So I made it… Read more: Miles Morales Variant Covers!

First of all: Alex Ross! Second of all: Alex Ross!!! I can’t express how stoked I was that Alex Ross dedicated himself to doing every single cover of the tail end of Slott’s run on Amazing Spider-Man. Truly, from the first issue (which was a strong contender for this Cover Story) to the last, the… Read more: Cover Story: Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #16

Before he passed, I was lucky enough to get a my copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 (Spider-Man’s first appearance) signed by none other Stan Lee. This is the story of how that came to be, and other comics that I hold near and dear to my heart.

In honor of us getting the full title for the Venom sequel, now officially called Venom: Let There be Carnage, I decided to do Face Front’s second ever Toys to Comics featuring Carnage and Venom! This cover is a variant of Venomized #1 (2018) by Kalman Andrasofszky. It was made for C2E2 and apparently there’s… Read more: Toys to Comics: VENOMIZED #1

So I picked up the first prequel comic to the Marvel’s Avengers video game coming out this May. It centered around Iron Man trying to figure out who stole his operating system and was selling it to criminals. The real takeaway, however, was that this is our first real look into the world in which… Read more: Marvel’s Avengers: Iron Man- What I Learned from the Prequel Comic

So the last time I paid $8.00 for a comic book, it was December of 2012, and Spider-Man died! Trepidatious is probably an understatement on my state of mind when picking up Amazing Spider-Man #25, the first milestone comic in Spencer’s run, and slapped with a $8.00 price tag. “60 pages of Spider-Mania!!!” the front… Read more: My Thoughts on Amazing Spider-Man #25

You know that awkward moment when Marvel’s been around so long that some of their “What If?” stories start making it into the canon? Let’s take, for instance, what if Captain America had been elected President of the United States? You mean, like in the Ultimate Comics United We Stand arc? How about this one:… Read more: 4 Marvel “What If?” Comics that Actually Happened!

Spider-Gwen vol. 1 and 2 were weird. Let’s face it, they were. My best friend Eileen told me when she first saw Into the Spider-Verse that she squealed with excitement when Gwen came onto the scene. She said that even though she’d never read a Spider-Gwen comic, she had been aware of her character and… Read more: Ghost-Spider is so Much Better than Spider-Gwen

Y’all reading that new Miles Morales? Yeah, so TL;DR, Miles’s girlfriend’s cousin got roped into a ‘mind controlled kids’ operation that also happened to rope in Rhino’s niece. So Rhino and Miles teamed up to stop it only to find out that Tombstone was behind it! When they couldn’t figure out how to work together… Read more: Miles Morales Spider-Man #2

Dan Slott told us all that Doc Ock was going to kill Spider-Man, two years in advance. And no one noticed. Now, I want to make this perfectly clear. I disagree with 98% of the decisions Dan Slott has made in his 10-year tenure on The Amazing Spider-Man. He did things rash. He did them… Read more: The Dark Secrets of Dan Slott: An Amazing Spider-Man Story

Well, when you’re working a low-paying job, you’ve got big boy bills to pay, and your blog isn’t really making you any money *cough* thanks a lot *cough*, luxuries like comic books kind of fall out of the budget. I would love to go to the comic book store, but I feel strange when I… Read more: Marvel Problems #010

Enjoy this first in a new segment I’m doing called: Cover Story This cover is a variant of The Amazing Spider-Man #700, and one of my favorite comic book covers of all time.

56 years ago, two men sat down and created Spider-Man. One of them was Steve Ditko. The man that drew my favorite superhero to life died at the age of 90 today. Were it not for him, the iconic red and blue clad hero with webs on his suit and a spider on his chest… Read more: Steve Ditko, Co-Creator of Spider-Man, has Died at the Age of 90

The sad thing is that it’s such a great service. A mere pittance of $10 monthly for access to nearly every comic Marvel has ever written, with new ones showing up only months after they’re published! Anytime I hear that a movie, or a season of a show will be based on a certain run… Read more: Marvel Problems #005

Face Front has been inactive for a while. The Fantastic Four have been gone for longer. Today, we’re both back. So if we reach back in time to my previous article (The Fate of the Fantastic 4), we’ll see that Marvel’s been pretending for a long time that the Fantastic 4 don’t exist. Well, maybe… Read more: They’re Back. And So Am I.
