The Amazing Spiderman Free Comic Book Day Special was a remind of how good Marvel can be. I read mostly DC Comics, however, this is not because I don’t like Marvel Comics, but I can not spend the money it would take to get invovled with reading another publisher. This is not to say that one day when I have the means that I won’t begin buying Marvel comic books. Right now, I have a strategy to focus on select portions of the DC Universe.
To pick up this comic book, however, makes me consider ways that I can include Spiderman into my list. I’ve considered Spiderman and Fantastic Four comic books for awhile, but I think that I will wait several years until I return from my next assignment, which is fast approaching. This story was simple and entertaining. All of the elements that I like to have were in the story. Marvel did well to include this in the Free Comic Book Day portfolio for 2007.
