Advice for the Newbie

arcpolbear:
While I am not an avid reader of the spider-man comics, I do pick through to find what catches my interest. The Morlun portions in the Amazing Spider-Man really interested me, and provided a very good background to why Morlun and anything vaguely like him is so terrifying.

There was one portion that confused me due to having not read the comics concerning (click to show/hide)Ezekial because I thought he was trying to help Peter escape Morlun, rather than put him away as a sacrifice for something else.
There is also an arc of 12 comics that crosses back and forth between Friendly Neighborhood, Marvel Knights, and Amazing Spider-Man that includes Morlun and gives a wonderful psychological view of Peter.

Magus Dresdenarus:
The reason Jim is an ideal writer for Spider-Man is that Harry and Spidey are so similar.  In fact, Harry is snarky in the exact same way Spider-Man is in the comics.  In one of the Dresden books, Harry even makes mention that he is a follower of "the Tao of Peter Parker."

Priscellie:
Finally got to read it (mmm, New York Public Library), and it was fabulous!  Wow, the movies really give no indication of how smartassed comic!Peter can be, even while getting the snot kicked out of him.  I see where Harry gets it now! :D

Thanks, guys, for reassuring me that I wouldn't be totally lost in this first excursion to the Spidey comicverse, and thanks, Jim, for such a great story!

Ms Duck:
Being a total geekess, here are some recomendations ( most of wich you can find as collections)

the death of gwen stacy by gerry conway

the murder of jean dewolf by peter david

heck, annything early by peter david ( the movies were based on his stuff)

the original hobgoblin stories by various ( spideys best villian, ever)

the end of kraven the hunter ( peter david, I think)

enjoy !

Spectacular Sameth:
I'm a pretty big fan of Spider-man and I really liked the comic. I thought he portrayed Spider-man very well. If he has some free time, he should write for the series, because...DAMN!
