The Scarlet Spider – the man formerly known as Kaine – is back in his own series. As for me, neither one feels quite right; I find it hard to look at a character[...]

No, at least one of them just stuffed them in the attic. Which is how George Toman of La Grange, Illinois was able to come across Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man when clearing out said attic, before taking the small box of comics to his local store Chimera's Comics just in[...]

Marvel has another teaser of their Point One oneshot, that is to kick off their 2012 big event, amongst other things.

Such as a certain Ultimate Spider-Man #1, in comic stores tomorrow. All sorts of websites, newspapers and TV shows Including one called "The Coblert Report" Yeah, I know, mote and beam, mote and beam.
