Spidey's Popin' Up At Ya!

Last week I picked up a copy of Amazing Spider-Man Pop-Up, "Spider-Man Tastic!" This book is 16 pages of Spidey action that litterlaly jumps off the pages, hence the pop up name. The entire 11 page origin of Spider-Man from Amazing Fantasy #15 is contained in this book, along with spread pages and facts on some of Spidey's most memorable foes (Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Mysterio, Kraven, the Vulture and Electro). This book isn't gonna tell the die-hard Spidey fan anything he doesn't already know but you really can't go wrong with colorful artwork from Steve Ditko and John Romita Sr. The regular asking price for this book is $24.99 but I my Borders had them for $4.99. (Score!) So if you can get it on the cheap, I'd highly recommend it.

'Tis a sad day in cartoon history. R.I.P, Wayne Allwine.

Spider-Haul!

My tax rebate check (finally) came in the mail and after setting some of the green aside for bills, I decided I'd treat myself. Went to my comic shop and snagged myself some cool Spider-Man goodies. I was thinking I'd pick up Amazing Spider-Man #247 to further complete my issues for Roger Stern's run. God must have really smiled on me because when I was looking through the back issue boxes for said comic, I found a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #248, which has the highly praised side story, The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man. And I was just talking about this story a few weeks ago. Go figure. This could be my Spidey biased kicking in, but I've always loved Black Cat more than Catwoman. Don't get me wrong, I like Selina Kyle and her feline alter ego. In fact, she stared in one of my favorite mini series, Selina's Big Score, but I find Felicia Hard to be a more interesting character. Be it the sexual tension between her and Spidey, or her simply being a good friend and ...
