Spider-Man Comic Appearances for September 5, 2012


Okay this week brings a small haul of new Spider-Man comic book appearances.  There are five of them, but two are from non-Marvel publishers.

First off, Ultimate Spider-Man continues to be a great read.  Just like the early years of the original Ultimate Spider-Man series, each issue is better than the previous one.  And dang if the stories seem too short.  A sign of a good book when it has you wanting more each month.

On the weird side of things, the latest issue of Garfield features a Spider-Man parody with multiple arms and a red and blue costume to boot.

The latest issue of Spawn features a "post"view (opposite of "pre"view) of the previous month's Spider-Man inspired cover.

Here's this week's books...

Amazing Spider-Man #692 Fan Expo Variant

I just got this gem in the mail today -- a variant of Amazing Spider-Man #692 sold exclusively at the Fan Expo in Canada last week.

The variant cover was created by J. Scott Campbell.

If you weren't able to make it to the show, then Ebay is your best best to get a copy.  Buy It Now copies are around the $30-40 range.

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for August 29, 2012

This week things are short and sweet with just five new Spider-Man comic book appearances, and not a variant cover or alternate printing in site.

Here's the list...
  • Avenging Spider-Man #11
  • FF #21
  • Hulk #57
  • Marvel Previews #109
  • Web of Spider-Man #129.2

And last week I was unable to check Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe #4, as all of my local shops were sold out.  But a buddy reports that Spidey indeed does make an appearance with a picture on a mug.  This series was fun and likely to gain some value due to its reasonable low printing numbers.

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for August 22, 2012

This week there's a hodgepodge of variants, alternate printings and regular issues.  There are a total of 13 new Spider-Man appearances.

The Amazing Spider-Man #692 variants feature alternate covers through the decades.  They are attractive covers, but I'm not sure 5 variant covers were justified.  Feels a bit over the top.

Secret Avengers is the oddest appearance this week with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it-on-the-cover Spidey-inspired pole dancer.  She's in the background of the cover only and standing beside other dancers wearing costumes inspired by Daredevil, Captain America, and others.

Here's the list for the week...

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for August 15, 2012

No surprise this week as we have a heap of new variants with the release of Avengers Vs. X-Men #10, and a bruised and battered Spidey only barely appears towards the end of the book.  In total there are 12 new Spider-Man comic book appearances.

If you grab the 3rd issue of the Marvel Super Heroes Magazine, be sure to look for both covers.  As of this issue they are publishing 2 different covers.  You gotta love em for that (sarcasm).  And these are newsstand barcode editions too, since they no longer print a unique direct edition for comic shops any longer.

Here's the list for the week:

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for August 8, 2012

We've got 11 new comic books this week featuring a Spider-Man appearance.  There are 8 regular titles with 3 variant covers along for the ride.

My favorite for the week is Spider-Men #4.  The mini-series is very well written, and I would personally like to see its impact felt for some time to come by the characters within the respective books and not just forgotten.

Here's the list for the week...

Spider-Man Comic Appearances for August 1, 2012

We have a little bit of everything with this week's 16 new comic books featuring a Spider-Man appearance.  There are regular issues, alternate printings, variant covers, and even a non-Marvel cover swipe.

The highlight has to be Image Comics' Spawn #222 with its McFarlane self-homage of Amazing Spider-Man's #332.  You have to love an artist doing an homage of their own work from another book.

Avengers Vs. X-Men inches closer to its goal line with the Karate Kid inspired Spidey-centric #9.  Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe is a fun book, and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man continues to be a solid read.

Here are the appearances from this week...
