Great Collection of McFarlane's (and Spidey's) Best!
8 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback
Spider-Man Legends: Todd McFarlane Book (Spider-Man) is a great collection of both artist Todd McFarlane's and Spiderman's best work. This edition is the third of volume of Todd Mcfarlane's work. McFarlane was introduced to Amazing Spider-man in the late 80s and drew Spidey like he had never been drawn before. He updated the styles and fashions of Peter and Mary-Jane as well as enhanced the way of creating Spidey's webs, a style which is still present today. This collection contains Amazing Spider-man #315 - #323, #325, and #328. Unlike most other reprints of books in chronological order, the book is full of complete stories rather than a whole bunch of "one-shots" (as in McFarlane Legends Vol. 2).
Issues #315 - #317 contain the return of Venom, one of Spidey's most lethal and dealy enimies. The next two issues #318 & #319, tell a sotry about the mutated menace Scorpion. While #320 - #323 and #325, are 5 of the 6 issues in Spidey's legendary "Assasination Nation Plot". The fifth issue, #324 was not included since McFarlane didn't do the art, even though this issue is included it can be picked up at your local compic shop for $4 -$7, and this not big deal since you save so much from Amazon.com anyway. The last issue #328 is Todd McFarlane's last issue on Amazing Spider-man featuring a battle between Spidey and the Incredible Hulk before he moved on to other Spider-titles and eventually to his own label (Dark Horse Comics, mainly SPAWN).
All in all this is a great collection of comics, but without the fifth issue of "The Plot" and a Hulk issue which comes out from left field, this volume gets 4 stars, but is still a must for any Todd Mcfarlane, Spidey, or VENOM fan.

Finishing the legendary McFarlane run...

Format:Paperback
...say what you want about Todd McFarlane's career and art, but he made that book sizzle back in the late 80's! This set collects ASM #315-323, 325, and 328. Issues #319 thru #325 were published in late summer/early fall when Marvel was experimenting with the "Now on Sale Twice a Month!" during the back-to-school seasons. This put a pinch on the creative staff for a time, so issue #324 was drawn by Erik Larsen to give McFarlane ample catch-up time for his upcoming "Spider-Man" series, and left out this collection. His swan-song was issue #328, featuring both Spidey and the Hulk (still gray at the time) when Spidey had the cosmic powers of Captain Universe and the "Acts of Vengeance" storylines.
I was a McFarlane junkie during his time at Marvel, and the nostalgia of his work still hits me today...
