Spider-Man Comic Appearances for November 9, 2011

This week turns out to be the perfect storm for Spider-Man comic book appearances between the release of the first issue of Avenging Spider-Man (with 6 different covers), and a 6 page back-up promo story for Avengers: X-Sanction appearing in most Marvel issues for the week.

So with all of that said, we end up with 26 comic books featuring a Spider-Man cameo or appearance.  Ouch.

And true to their word, Marvel does release all 6 versions of Avenging Spider-Man #1 polybagged with a code to download an electronic version of the comic.  I still have a problem with the concept of promoting the download of a comic that someone has to buy a physical copy to get, but greater minds than mine seem to think this is the bomb.

When I was picking up the weekly books at my local comic shop, I did overhear a conversation about how the vinyl record industry has been doing this sort of thing for a few years -- offering a free download of an album when you buy the record.  It will be interesting to see how the printed floppies are affected by electronic downloads over time, but hopefully our hobby will weather the storm.

Here's the list of books for the week

  • Avengers Origins Vision #1
  • Avenging Spider-Man #1
