Reviews

[Bob Wolniak]

Good fun, reprints of Michael Golden Marvel Fanfare 1-2 in the Savage Land where Spidey is devolved into a monster, the classic Gil Kane Amazing Spider-Man 100-102 1st appearance of Morbius where Peter has 6 arms, the 1st issue of Howard the Duck, and a terrific Frank Miller annual where Spidey teams up with Dr. Strange against Doom and Dormammu.

[Jim]

Mediocre Spider-Man one-offs that realistically could have starred most other Marvel heroes. Sandwiched in there is the first arc featuring Morbius, which is the only reason to read this collection.

[Casey]

This book has the compilation blues. Some good stories some mediocre stories nothing much to hold the mix together.
