It's SPIDERMAN! The way he was meant to be known... I grew up with Spiderman....on TV as TV movies and cartoons...but I always thought that there was more to it than that.
Getting this box set makes the world of Spiderman come alive. I completely missed out on the original stories of Gobbie, Doc Oc, Venom, Carnage....all that....but no longer. I like seeing where the world starts and comes all the way through 2006.
I also have the Iron Man DVD and will most likely pick up the Incredible Hulk and possibly the Avengers set as well.
I've liked X-Men, so that might be a future purchase as well.
Technically complete...but save your money I bought this product because I wanted to catch up on stories from the 90's. Unfortunately, at that time Marvel ran several Spider-Man titles each month and the story lines moved between them. Because this collection contains only issues of The Amazing Spider-Man, you will find that you get the beginning of a story, but not the middle or end, because those were carried out in other comics; or the end but not the beginning. This product indeed contains the complete run--but it is made up of frustratingly incomplete stories. Also, each page appears with a horribly intrusive watermark. Save your money.
Amazing? You bet! GIT really did a fine job with these comic collections. Too bad Marvel is now going totally online and won't let anyone have the actual comics in hand anymore. *sigh* Oh, well -- but if you can get it used (or from GIT), go for it. It's definitely worth the money!
My brother loves it This product includes actual .pdf scans of the comic books. I think my brother feels like a 10 year old kid again.
Wow This is an excellent product. The only problem with these cd-roms are that they can't be viewed reasonably without a larger television.
