Spider-Man Comic Appearances for July 13, 2011

This week had the potential to be a huge (re: costly) one with around 45 new books from Marvel alone hitting comic shop shelves, and that doesn't include the dozen or so new trade paperbacks too.

Plus Marvel felt the need for 18 of those new comics to be variants.  Heck!  There are 14 comics alone from three newly launched series including Captain America, Ghost Rider and X-Men Schism.

Well, Spidey wasn't in any of those.  But it was still a relatively heavy week with a total of 12 comics and variants featuring a Spider-Man appearance this week.

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for July 6, 2011

Before I get to the list of new Spider-Man appearances for the week, I want to send a quick shout out to my local comic shop and all of the shops around the country for all of the hard work they do each week getting the comics ready for us to check out.

It's funny, but I can't think of any other retail business that I visit each and every week.  I suppose some folks can get that from shopping for clothes, but give me a wall of new comics and I'm in hog heaven.

And one last shout out to Diamond Comics for their new distribution policy of sending new comics on Tuesday, so shops can have the comics ready to go first thing Wednesday morning.  Now, when we have a week with a holiday like we just did...

(Happy belated 4th of July, by the way)

...the comics show up on Wednesday morning and comics shops race to get them out for our consumption.  Nice job by everyone.

Now on with the new comic show...

It's a mighty big haul this week with 18 new comics featuring Spider-Man appearances.  We've got regular books, variant covers, promotional giveaway comics, and magazines.

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for June 29, 2011

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for June 22, 2011

As expected, this is a pretty big week for Spider-Man comic appearances both in his own titles and several others from across the Marvel universe.  I managed to pick up 16 different issues featuring a blend of regular books, alternate printings, and variants (some quite pricey at that).

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for June 15, 2011

Wow!  I can't remember the last time we had a week with only two Spider-Man comic book appearances...and neither were variants.

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for June 8, 2011

This week at the comic shop there were 13 new books released featuring a Spider-Man appearance.  The majority were from core titles with multiple second printings from Amazing Spider-Man, and Marvel took it easy on our wallets this week with only one variant issue
