Interpretation During Books Essential Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 6 (Essential Amazing Spider-Man #6)
I desperately want to give this volume five stars because it contains The Amazing Spider-Man #121: The Night Gwen Stacy Died... also known as the first time a comicbook broke my damned heart... (Excuse me; I seem to have something in my eye...) Seriously, not only does this story still hold such power over me, decades later, that it still makes me cry, but it's a major turning point in the life of Peter Parker; perhaps THE turning point. The Spider-Man post Gwen's death is not the same guy as he was before.The trouble is, this volume also contains one of the stupidest moments in Spidey history: the wedding of Aunt May and Dr. Octopus. Sigh... What the Hell was Gerry Conway smoking when he came up with that one?
I could, perhaps have ignored this piece of numbnutsery, but that isn't all. This volume also contains the biggest rip-off in Spidey's history. Issues 116 to 118 of The Amazing Spider-Man are just expanded, coloured reprints of the giant-sized, black and white first issue of The Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine from four years earlier. I guess Marvel thought Spidey fans' memories didn't go back that far...
Still, despite these two... abominations... this volume contains a whole bunch of cracking Spidey material that no fan should miss; including the very first appearance of the Punisher. You may have heard of him.
(Begrudgingly) four stars.

I was a bit disappointed. Many of these felt very dated.This book was AMAZING. Pun intended. This book does a great job of identifying with the audience. The narrating is really in your face and it makes you feel really involved with the story and characters. Every character is developed well, and you can really step in to their mindset and relate with them. The bonds between these characters are unbreakable, sometimes in a good way for Peter Parker, and sometimes not. You really feel like Peter is becoming tantalized. Every time hes about to do or
Some great moments in Spidey history in this volume. I thoroughly enjoyed it, except the last issue was missing half the pages.
This volume gives us Spidey fighting some amazing adversaries like Doc Ock, The Tarantula, The Punisher, Hammerhead, to name a few. And he even meets up with a few of his fellow Marvel super heroes like The Hulk and the Human Torch. It covers a bunch of great stories that are written by Gerry Conway that include the Spider-Mobile, the death of Gwen Stacy, the interrupted wedding of Doc Ock and Aunt May, the introductions of both the Punisher and the Jackal and the return of the Green Goblin,
Big changes for Spidey in this volume. Some [myself included] mark the events in this volume as the end of the Silver Age of Comics.
This comic book is actually awesome!
