Spider-Man By Todd Mcfarlane: The Complete Collection

A delightful set of Spider-Man comics that give off a darker vibe while still being the Spidey we know and love. "Torment" follows a set of killings by an unknown monster that turns Peter's night into one of horror, leaving tons of questions left unanswered. "Masques" is a two-parter that features the demented Hob-Goblin and his evil worldview, thwarted by Spider-Man and a surprise showing of Ghost-Rider. "Perceptions" in another big story following mysteriously gruesome child deaths in a Canadian town that get the attention of the Bugle and Peter, along with Wolverine. This one is my personal favorite, not just because Wolvie is my favorite hero, but the darker art and mystery storytelling as we follow reporters and a few oddities of the police case make it a fun read. And the final Spidey-centric storyline "Sub-City" follows missing homeless that lead to a cult-like group in the sewers for Spidey to apprehend. The last two issues are tie-ins to an X-Force storyline involving Black Tom Cassidy and the Juggernaut, cutting the first half of the storyline out and only featuring the issue Todd Mcfarlane wrote and the follow-up X-Force issue. It's the weakest of the collection for that reason, but it does complete the issues all written and drawn by Todd Mcfarlane. These are great stories that you really don't need that much outer-comic context for. Aside from a few essential Spidey reads, like Kraven's Last Hunt, all the context is given right on the page or is unimportant to understanding what's going on. MJ and Peter ae married, the black suit/Venom are traumatic, etc. And I can't get over some of the art on these pages. Mcfarlane is a master at drawing these dark panels that really exude the '90s style well known today.

I love having all these issues in one place - great stories and art here, a timeless classic

Spider-Man is a very cool character. Plus Todd Mcfarlane work is really good.

It's what you asked for. Nuff said

One of my favorite runs of spiderman! The art by McFarlane is insanely good and it's kinda like a horror take on spiderman in the 90s and it's just such a fun read, only complaint was when they sent me the book in the paper package somewhere in the warehouse it got a little bent

Best book i think I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot of books

gift for my son, he loved it!

This is my first ever comic book purchase at Amazon, and I am delighted to get the edition (with the cover) that I wanted. The shipping went well without a hitch, and it even arrived sooner that expected. I was hoping to get the hardcover version, but other than that, this book is everything I ever hoped for. Todd McFarlane has proven himself as not only a legendary penciler, but also a masterful storyteller. A must-have item for all Spider-Man fans!

As 13 year old comicbook/MacFarlane addict in the 80’s 90’s this Spider-Man run was and still is, my favorite comicbook release ever. The variant covers, it was a happening man. It’s better than I remember. MacFarlane art is simply the best. I recommend this book wholeheartedly 🤠🍺

Todd McFarlane is a far better illustrator then writer but the stories he tells here are very original and unique for Spider-man in the 90s. If your a web-head fan you'll be doing yourself no favors skipping this.

I’m giving 3 stars because the book came a little damaged. It wasn’t very well protected for the delivery. Other than that I love it. I had all of them was I was a kid. Nice to have them all in one book

Klassiker. Als Spiderman Fan sollte man diese Edition/Ausgaben der Comics auf seine Liste setzen Vor allem immer wieder klasse das Cover von Todd McFarlane, einfach nur wunderschönes Cover anzusehen würde den Kauf lohnend machen, die Zeichnungen von McFarlane sind einfach einer der besten, meiner Meinung nach. Schade das es wenig von ihm gibt

Love it
