Writing 50 Years of Spider-Man

[stararnold]

August 10, 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of Spider-Man's debut. Over the years, Marvel's most famous famous web-slinger has swung into action in comic books as well as in other forms of entertainment media.

Fanboys and fangirls, as we celebrate Spidey's 50th anniversary, here is a thread where you can discuss your memories of the Spider-Man category of the Marvel Universe franchise. You can talk of things like favorite moments and battles in the Spidey comics and graphic novels, how you got into Spider-Man in the first place, the merchandise you collect (examples: statuettes, action figures), favorite moments in filmed Spdier-Man media, etc.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]I've recently started buying the Ultimate comics from the first volume in the Marvel iPhone app. It's an interesting take on the mythos. I'm not much a fan of the way they handled the Green Goblin and his line of spinoff supervillains, but I actually kind of prefer the Ultimate version of Venom.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms', cursive]Oh, and The Amazing Spider-Man (film) is a much more faithful adaptation than Sam Raimi's trilogy, so be sure to give that a look if you haven't yet and you're a webhead.[/font] Edited August 11, 2012 by The Spectacular Professor
