\nAmazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer tpb Vol. 15: What Cost Victory
Marvel Comics
Creators:<\/b> Nick Spencer, Federico Vicentini, Ze Carlos, Mark Bagley, Carlos Gomez and Alex Sinclair
Release date:<\/b> November 2021 <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Got something a little different this time: I want YOU to tell ME what you think of Nick Spencer\u2019s recent run on Amazing Spider-Man<\/b>. <\/p>\n

I like Spider-Man, but I\u2019ve never been a regular reader of his adventures. I read some random issues that I bought as a kid in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but most of them were truly random. The only continuous run I read during that time included some issues with Spidey facing off against Silvermane, Green Goblin and other gangsters. At the time, everyone assumed the Goblin was Harry Osborn again, but it didn\u2019t turn out to be him in the outfit. I borrowed these comics from a friend, and I currently own a trade collecting some of them: Amazing Spider-Man: A New Goblin<\/b>, reprinting Amazing Spider-Man<\/b> Nos. 176-180 by Len Wein and Ross Andru. <\/p>\n

I bought many of the then-current Spidey titles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but I\u2019ve since sold off most of those issues. I kept Amazing Spider-Man<\/b> No. 267, \u201cWhen Cometh \u2026 the Commuter,\u201d a very amusing stand-alone issue written by Peter David. I had the original six issues that told the story that came to be known as \u201cKraven\u2019s Last Hunt,\u201d but I\u2019ve since sold them and bought a hardcover of the story instead. <\/p>\n

All of this is to say I am no stranger to Spidey stories. I\u2019ve read a lot of them, but I don\u2019t still own most of the stories I\u2019ve read. And I don\u2019t follow the character regularly. <\/p>\n

But I do like Spider-Man, and I really like some of his villains. I\u2019ve always been partial to the Green Goblin in his various incarnations. I also like Doc Ock, Kraven, Chameleon and some of the others. <\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t paid much attention to Nick Spencer\u2019s recent run on the title. Nothing against the writer; I haven\u2019t read many Spidey stories in more than a decade by anyone. And I\u2019m not familiar with other things Spencer has written. <\/p>\n

But the solicitation image for the trade collection of \u201cThe Chameleon Conspiracy,\u201d which was the 14th trade collection of Spencer\u2019s run on Amazing Spider-Man<\/b>, caught my eye. The cover image shows the Chameleon sitting in a darkened room surrounded by masks of the faces of many of Spider-Man’s friends and enemies. There are nearly 30 masks pictured, and the cover brought to mind the first appearance of Chameleon in Amazing Spider-Man<\/b> No. 1, of which I own a reprint. I don\u2019t know if there is a previous image similar to this trade\u2019s cover, but it made me thing of that initial appearance of Chameleon, and piqued my curiosity. <\/p>\n

I pre-ordered the trade and then ordered the next one, Vol. 15, when it was solicited. I don\u2019t think I knew when I ordered Vol. 15, \u201cWhat Cost Victory?\u201d that it would be Spencer\u2019s last. But it did seem like a resolution he\u2019d been building to, and I thought I might need this trade to complete the story begun in Vol. 14. Turns out I was both right and wrong about that. <\/p>\n

Both these two trades very clearly wrap up a lot of plotlines from Spencer\u2019s run and stories from past creators, too, including a story arc I\u2019ve never read but heard a lot about, \u201cSins Past.\u201d Both of these trades were decent reads, but I got the feeling frequently that I wasn\u2019t getting the entire story. I was very aware I hadn\u2019t read everything that came before. I didn\u2019t feel lost, exactly, but still like I was missing something. <\/p>\n

So I\u2019m curious to hear from others who have read all of Spencer\u2019s run, and perhaps even more. What did you Spider-Man fans think of his run on the title? Is it worth it to seek out and buy the earlier Spencer trades? What say you, Spider-fans? I\u2019d like to hear from you for a change.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
