"The Best Thing to happen"
This must be the best idea Marvel has ever had.
I found here comics I red as a kid, it brought many memories and spent
a really good time remembering them.
It is incredible the ammount of comics included here, there is no waste of money at all.
The only true thing I regret is tt Marvel has cancelled its deal with GIT, the enterprise responsible for creating these treasures, and there will be no more DVD ROM from other titles, like Dare Devil or Thor.
Instead, Marvel bets to comic online reading.

As a Marvel fan, I really regret this, as I do not pretend to pay for comics tt I cannot keep and storage for my own kids.
As a comic collector, I find Marvel's idea offensive.

This DVD idea was great, as we all know tt paper comics cannot last forever.
While many books are being digitalized, this kind of art suffers for
corporative matters, beyond art itself.

Anyway, get this while they're out there, you won't regret it.



"Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection"
A excellent bargain for any Spider-Man fan. It is on a cd-rom and requires either windows or mac. A definite 5 stars.

"Amazing!"
I bought this collection about a year ago because I had just subscribed to The Amazing Spider-Man series and I thought that this would help to limit any confusion that I had concerning the story since it had been nearly ten years since I'd laid hands on a Spidey comic.
The image quality on this disc is great and all the stories are there with ads and all and it's just like reading it straight from the book. It's also great because you get all of the Amazing series comics for about the same price as one or two TPBs, though if you want to read complete stories from arcs that spanned across other series, like Maximum Carnage, then you'll have to buy a few TPBs anyway.
All in all this collection is very good and I can now say that I own every single Amazing Spider-Man comic that has been released since Amazing Fantasy 15.

"Awesome"
Way too many comics too read, but it will give me something to do for another year or so.

"One wonderful collection with one big caveat"
I received the ASM collection for Christmas, and I am in heaven. I followed Spidey back in the 60s and 70s, but quit reading somewhere around ASM121 - true fans will understand why. I'd always wanted to find out what happened in the last 30 years, especially with the movies coming out, but had no practical way of doing so.

Now I have. The files are regular pdf files, so you can read them anywhere. The scans are excellent.

Now the caveat. Yes, this is every issue of Amazing Spider Man, and until the 90s it's all you would need. However more and more as I read I'm finding out that a story started in Amazing Spider Man will have part two in the Peter Parker magazine (not included in this collection), part three in Spider Man magazine (not included in this collection), and the finale in Amazing Spider Man. So while you'll get the gist of the action, you'll miss, say, large parts of the Clone Saga.

But don't let that discourage you. Between this collection and Wiki, you'll figure out what's going on.

An incredible value for your money, and I'm planning on getting the Fantastic Four collection next.

N.B.: After I wrote this review, I hit the 2001 issues. I take all the negative comments back. You can tell when Strazinski starts writing, and the last four years of this collection is worth the whole price.
