Marvel knows how to do an omnibus, April 18 2012
By Jim Davis - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus - Volume 2 (Hardcover)
This is the second Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus. Together with the first omnibus it forms the perfect upgrade for the first seven Marvel Masterwork Amazing Spider-Man volumes. The first omnibus collects the first three masterworks plus the first eight issues of the fourth. The present book collects the last two issues of the fourth and Masterworks Volumes 5, 6, and 7. This rather odd breakdown comes from the understandable desire (and customer demand) to collect the entire Steve Ditko corpus into the first omnibus. The current book showcases the artistic talents of John Romita.But beyond just reprinting what is in the masterworks Marvel worked in many extras. All the letters pages are reproduced which recaptures the excitement of the Silver Age like nothing else really can. Rereading these letters really takes one back. But wait...there's more! There are three Spider-Man parodies from the contemporary humor comic Not Brand Echh! There are the usual pages of original and unused art including the full color oil paintings from the Spectacular Spider-Man magazines. There are house ads. There are reproductions of the reprint book Marvel Tales covers, four to a page. And finally, reproductions of the seven trade paperback Masterworks covers. I can hardly imagine what else Marvel could have thrown in.
The production values are first rate as well. The book lies flat, opened to almost any page. The reproduction is first rate.
Last but not least there are the stories. Although not as tightly (and densely) plotted as the Ditko stories, these books are still first rate as Peter Parker continues the transition from loser geek to chick magnet as Gwen Stacey and Mary Jane Watson vie for his attention.
Highly recommended. The asking price of this omnibus volume is high but not as high as the relevant masterworks and certainly not the original issues. Any Silver Age Spider-Man fan should consider picking this up.

Great collection ! Great showcase for John Romita Sr.'s great artwork - which flowed smoothly and forcefully ! As always, Stan Lee's dialogue was cheeky and funny. One can see why Spider Man was a Marvel best-seller.

IT'S ABOUT DAMNED TIME!, April 24 2012
By HH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus - Volume 2 (Hardcover)
My four stars are for this wonderful book, but I give ONE STAR for the shoddy, pathetic way Marvel has been treating the Spider-Man omnibus releases.Seriously, why has it taken Marvel almost 5 years to release volume 2 of one of their most famous and lucrative characters ??!! Their Marvel Masterworks of these issues are mostly out of print, and they've released far more obscure "complete omnibus" collections, and NOW they finally get around to putting out VOLUME 2 ??? They should AT THE VERY LEAST be up to 4 by now.
Shame on the powers that be. Hopefully it won't be another 5 years before they release Volume 3, or the devastating issue 121!
Listmania!
