Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection Win/Mac Reviews

• An, um... amazing value

  
  By AH8NYD41MAT61 on 2007-03-01
  All of these Marvel complete collections on DVD-ROM are insanely great values, but this one is even better than the others. Like all of them, you get the classic stories from the '60s, the decent stories from the '70s and '80s, and the horrible stories from the '90s.
  
  But whereas the Fantastic Four and Uncanny X-Men have been fairly undistinguished in the '00s, Amazing Spider-Man has had a superb run by J. Michael Straczynski. Straczynski's run up to 2006 is collected in ten graphic novels, which are... well, you can look the price up here on Amazon, if you want a precise number. But suffice it to say that if you just wanted to read those modern comics, and didn't care about the Lee/Ditko era or anything else before the turn of the century, you'd STILL be saving piles of money.
  
  As far as the quality and ease-of-use of the comics go, my expectations have been met and exceeded, and I'm picky. The scans are high-quality two-page spreads (including all ads and letters and Bullpen Bulletins, which are interesting in their own right -- I can't wait until I start reading Hostess Fruit Pie ads) and show about as much detail as actually exists in the source. Plus, these are regular ol' PDFs, so there's no need to install some weird proprietary application on your computer (and Adobe Reader in full-screen mode on a 1600x1200 display is absolutely perfect for reading a two-page spread).
  
  I bought this along with the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four sets, and am reading them all in parallel month-by-month, starting at the beginning. This doesn't quite fulfill my childhood dream of having every Marvel comic ever published and reading them all in order (though it'll get even closer once they release their Captain America, Hulk, and Thor DVDs), but it's a heck of a lot closer than I ever thought I'd get, for a heck of a lot less than I ever thought I'd have to pay.
  
  I can't recommend these sets -- and particularly this one -- enough to any fan of Marvel superhero comics.
  
  One very mild caveat: Like a few of the earlier reviewers, the version I got only went through mid-2006, not through the end of the year as in the picture and description above. On the one hand, that's unfortunate, as Straczynski's comics are good and worth reading; on the other hand, mid-2006 is already up to the point where it's into the "Civil War" stuff, which is crossover central (the Road to Civil War print collection that was just released, for instance, includes a few issues of Fantastic Four and two issues of Amazing Spider-Man (which actually are included on the DVD), so if you want to read those FF issues, you'd pretty much have to buy the print collection anyway). I wouldn't fuss about the missing months too much.
  
  
  

• Absolutely worth the price.

  
  By ALT1SS5DTTKG6 on 2006-10-28
  I'm not a Spider-Man fan. I love POWERS, THE ULTIMATES, SUPREME POWER, PLANETARY and other stuff by Warren Ellis, Brian Michael Bendis, et.al. So when I bought this, I wondered if spending a whopping $49 would be worth it.
  
  I wanted to read Straczynski's recent run of Spider-Man, but if I was going to spend about $20 on a graphic novel, why not spend a little more for the whole thing. And that's just what you get. In addition to getting Straczynski's 4-year run (which includes Spider-Man's evolution and discovery of his totemic powers), you get everything leading up to JUNE 2006 (which is just like 3 issues ago!). And all on 1 DVD-ROM.
  
  True, the Cons are that when it comes to Crossovers, you only get the Amazing Spider-Man stories and reading it off your computer isn't as fun as reading the actual comics -- but that doesn't compare to getting the entire run. It's like complaining about getting a free PS3, XBox360 AND Nintendo Wii, because the box didn't come with it or you're missing one controller.
  
  $50 may seem steep, but if comics cost $3 now, so for the price of like one or two months worth of comics -- or for 2 books, you get everything. And it's true, you can just print out the pages if you want (so if you want to abuse your office or school's printer, go for it!)
  
  

• wrong description

  
  By A2PVGSVDESWRJ4 on 2007-03-15
  Amazon made an error in describing a new edition of this dvd that goes through December 2006. I contacted the manufacturer, GIT, and they said there is no second version. The dvd only goes thru June 2006. So nobody is being cheated
  
  

• MUST HAVE FOR ANY SPIDER-MAN FAN!

  
  By A3RZDY60H66MZD on 2006-10-18
  This set has got everything. Almost every major Spider-man moment is in this collection. From Spider-man's first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15, his wedding, and not to forget those great super-villain battles with the Green Goblin and Venom.
  
  Each issue is scanned in .pdf format. It has all the original colors, ads, and fan mail printed. They are all organized by year and it says they are all printable. If you are looking for the entire Stan Lee and John Romita Sr.'s run, here it is. It is great to see where Todd Mcfarlane, the creator of Spawn got his start on old webhead. J. Michael Strackzynski, the writer of Babylon 5 also takes a crack at Spider-man's life.
  
  The collection covers the beginning from Amazing Fantasy #15 to Amazing Spiderman #531, which is around the start of Marvel's Civil War.
  
  Instead of spending thousands of dollars on purchasing back issues, you can own this entire collection for around $40-$45. If you have the ink, you can print out any issue to your heart's desire.
  
  The only drawbacks are around the 80s when several spider-man books begin to crossover. You only get a part of the story in Kraven's Last Hunt or Maximum Carnage. One major moment of Spider-man's life is left out, where he fights Harry Osborn as Green Goblin. The conclusion of that story took place in The Spectacular Spider-man title. That problem is going to fixed in the future as GIT Corp. has plans to release a complementary collection dvd that includes The Spectacular Spider-man, Web of Spiderman, and Peter Parker: Spider-man. They say on the boards that it will be out by fall of next year, but you never know with this company. I waited about six months for this dvd after it was delayed from its original release date from march.
  
  Now that I have it, I cannot wait to dig into the mythos of the old webhead. I recommend this to anyone who loves comics and loves Spider-man.
  
  Be sure to look out for the Ultimate Spider-man collection and there are a few others like the Hulk, Daredevil, Iron Man, and Captain America collections that are due out next year.
  
  

• Not what you pay for

  
  By A3CHNXBYD3KB42 on 2006-12-21
  I ordered this for a relative of mine as a Christmas gift, thinking it was the version pictured. Why shouldn't it be? I mean, there's a picture of it, and if it's not really what it says it is, isn't that illegal??? Anyway, I read the other reviews for the item which were posted months earlier, hoping that Amazon had straightened the issue out and now offered the latest version pictured instead of the older edition which is only complete up until June 2006. I was wrong. The version that I received, 3 days before Christmas, is in fact the older edition. It is not the amazing gift that I had imagined, in fact, this Amazing Spiderman collection isn't really amazing at all. My recommendation is to buy elsewhere, where you know that what you get is what you paid for. Speaks very lowly of Amazon as a whole. What else will I buy that is not the same as what is pictured???
  
  
• Top Buy for Spider-man Fans
  By A16JTNAEKD139I on 2006-12-10
  Like the Avengers, FF, and X-Men runs, the company has scanned in all the pages (including ads, Bullpen page, letter pages, and back cover) from actual issues. Some of the pages are scanned in slightly crooked--what's the matter, don't you have time to line things up? (Probably another out-sourced job.)
  
  I thought it might be difficult reading the comics on a computer screen, but after a few pages I liked turning a page with the push of a button. If you have a bright monitor or laptop, the colors should look nice.
  
  Make sure that you upgrade to the latest Acrobat Reader (a copy on the disk) so that the Marvel watermarks don't show on your screen. If you try to print a page the watermarks will (I believe) appear.
  
  Overall, a wonderful addition for those who have the original issues but can't read them because of their value, for those who don't want to buy a bunch of the Masterworks titles, for those who want to see the comics with the original colors and printing quality, and for those who want to read all the issues in color. The cost of the total collection may seem high, but think about buying over 500 comics. That's less than a dime an issue--more than I paid years ago!
  
  As Marvel does more of these, they may "crash" the back issue market. People who have the comics may decide to buy these DVDs and sell their back issues.
  
  Highly recommended.
  
  
• Awesome deal....
  By A1KKA1DPSXEH8C on 2007-05-09
  I bought this as an impulse buy. (Thanks to all the good reviews) But I must say this product is well worth it! And seeing as I work at a computer throughout most of the week reading Spider-Man through PDFs are great. Most times I just copy about 79 issues worth of spider-man onto my USB Key and I'm good to go. And just to keep this on topic ..... AWESOME Deal and an amazing steal! 500+ issues for only the price of about two really good graphic novels, great stuff! Buy it! 'Nuff said.
  
  
• Great for any collector.
  By A1OMXVXXP07F05 on 2007-05-20
  This is a great purchase for any Spidey fan. Of course it is not a replacement for flipping through the pages, but it is darn close. Be sure you have a DVD-ROM drive otherwise you won't get this to work. And no, not all DVD drives are DVD-ROM. I have 2 DVD-R/W's and it will not work in my Dell desktop. It does however, work flawlessly on my Dell Inspiron laptop.
  
  Very cool indeed.
  
  
• Simply amazing....
  By A17NVM7IAPF2NS on 2007-02-20
  WOW!! This is truly a dream come true for me. I was born in the early 70's. I came to love Spiderman in the early 80's, but the misfortune of having been born more than 10 years after his first inception proved to be most prohibitive in terms of collecting every comic book he was in. Even as much as I loved reading Spiderman, the cost of trying to go back and get every back issue today would be astronomical in cost.
  
  No longer!!! I am now able to read every Amazing Spiderman comic without having to have an actual hard copy! It's also interesting to see how the art work for Spiderman has evolved over the past 40 years and even more interesting to see how the ads have changed--strange side note, I know, but you can see how the marketing for the target audience hasn't changed much!
  
  By the way, if you DO have the misfortune (like the previous reviewer) of having Roxio Easy Media Creator 8, then you will realize that you can only look at the 1960's folder. However, there is a simple, although sloppy, FIX -- simply boot up your computer in SAFE MODE and you will be able to view the rest of the folders. If you tire of doing that every single time, you can have the DVD copied over to your own hard drive so that you can view them at your leisure.
  
  The other fix is to simply uninstall Roxio Easy Media Creator. This does not work for me because I NEED IT.
  
  Enjoy!!!!!
  
  
• The only thing that is better then this collection is having the original books themselves.
  By AQ8S73XYOWBN1 on 2007-03-11
  "The Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection" is a necessary part of any true "Amazing Spider-Man" comic book collector's collection. The only thing that is better then this collection is having the original books themselves. The Scans are complete books from cover to cover, ads, and pinups.
  The scans look good at 800% zoon, but I find that 200% makes for an easy and clear reading of the scans. It is wonderful to be able to view the scans from any computer and prints them to read from other locations. The prints look equally as good as the scans.
  I would recommend the "The Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection" to any true Amazing Spider-Man collector, who wants to see 43 years of the amazing stories, of Marvel's most amazing character, the one the only Amazing Spider-Man.
  
  
• The Amazing Spider-Man - The complete Collection, DVD
  By AZLVKLWDOGOSN on 2007-05-19
  In 2006 I began collecting Spider-Man reprints that were inserted in the local newspaper. But the reprints stopped, leaving me wanting to read more Spider-Man adventures. So I bought the DVD. The DVD functioned properly and looked good; all in PDF format. I was somehow under the impression that the magazines that were going to be pictured would be in mint condition, the older ones were not. It does not bother me at all but just understand that the older reprints -will- look old. I think it's a fantastic buy and I am glad that I bought it. While writing this review I realized that I had never tried to see if it would work in my TV/DVD combo; so I tried it, and it did not play. So one final caveat, --the DVD will most likely only work in a DVD connected to a computer that can display PDF files. Final word, it's good, buy it.
  
  
• I can't stop reading!!!!!!!!!!!!
  By A2BF5ALXXRHNUK on 2007-05-22
  This is a great product. I thought the movies were close to the comicbooks, boy was I wrong. After reading comicbook after comicbook, I wish the people who made the Spider-man movies followed the story more. The story about Gwen Stacy adds so much and I wish she was introduced in the first movie. Anyways, this is a great product, and if you want to know more about Spider-man and his life pick this up. The scans are perfect.
  
  
• Convenience good, scans bad.
  By A1B3U2HEVUX0CL on 2007-09-28
  I really can't give this many Spider-man comics all tucked away in one DVD anything less than 4 stars. This convenience is probably why you are considering buying this and reading my review. All the comics are scanned in as double page spreads, adds and all. Since the scans were made two pages at a time, the comic spread open on its staples on the scanning bed, sometimes one of the pages is crooked as the comic didn't open neatly. Not really a big deal as no one reads a comic opened perfectly flat anyway. The comics are read in Adobe Reader, and if your monitor is 13" wide or more you can read the comics at actual size (in full screen mode).
  So far so good. If GIT left well enough alone they'd have a perfect product (missing the Giant Sizes of the mid 70s unfortunately). However, it was decided to "clean-up" the old issues by brightening the backgrounds until they were super-white (even when the originals were fresh off the press they weren't this white), which results in significant color fading and color loss, not to mention that nobody enjoys looking into a bright white computer screen- it tires the eyes. Matters are made worse by applying an unsharp mask filter indiscriminately to every page, which creates some bizarre effects with the benday dot patterns. I would much rather they just left the scans alone. What we are left with are faded and grainy versions of the originals.
  I could mention that, over 40 years, every Spider-man reprint has been botched in some way, but actually there are decent CBR files being exchanged around the Internet that are superior in quality to these scans, though you don't get all the adds, and the early Ditkos are not from the originals like they are on this set. So if you want every page and add from Spider-man #1 you'll have to get this disc, which comes in a colorful, gatefolded cardboard box that has no function whatsoever.
  Don't go thinking they'll let you save any of these pages as jpegs. They're read only.
  
  
• Spider-man, Spider-man, Does Whatever A Spider Can...
  By A3C94LV082BV2T on 2007-04-17
  I didn't like Spider-man at first. I was quite a bit like J.J.J. up until New Years Day, 2007, when I borrowed the first two movies (the ones with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst) from my brother. I was immediately amazed.
  
  Shortly after buying my own copies of the movies, I thought of this DVD-ROM. I had bought the Fantastic Four's collection:44 Years of the Fantastic Four Collector's Edition Win/Mac [DVD], in the previous year, so I already knew the quality to expect. In addition, trying to collect all these comics in either reprints or back issues (this set costs a very small fraction of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1, much less his first appearance in AMAZING FANTASY, also on this disc) would cost BUKO $$$, and the problem with back issues: comics age over time and the paper begins to get old and thin, so damage to a back issue by simply reading it is very easy! So, I went ahead and ordered.
  
  In a couple months, I read the comics avidly from the '60s into the early '80s. I eventually took a break, and will likely pick up again after seeing SPIDER-MAN 3.
  
  I'd always heard Marvel did better comics than DC. I thought the FANTASTIC FOUR worked just because it was a group, but in reading SPIDER-MAN, I saw the same reality was in more than one Marvel title. Peter Parker has to worry about his job and school, and just felt like a 'real' person.
  
  Meanwhile Brand Echh (DC) lacks this. They try to put it in, but they never made it steady. My favorite DC character is the Elongated Man, and they KILLED him! That was it! MAKE MINE MARVEL!
  
  A must for any Spidey fan. Whether you've been a follower of the webhead for years or have just begun (like me) and want to read his roots for yourself, save yourself some money, and get this disc.
  
  ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE...
  This is still a DVD-ROM, and it is still susceptible to scratches and breakage. If possible, make and use a copy (you will need a DVD-R/+R DL disc, it's over 6 GB of comics, so dual layer is neccessary) to protect the original. If you can't take good care of your disc. (NOTE: Copying copyrighted media is legal as long as you are the one who makes the copy, and you, or an immediate family member, are the one who uses it, AND you keep the original!)
  
  I've yet to have a problem with my disc (except the times that I accidentally took it out while trying to read a comic) but with my FF disc, I did have problems with Adobe Reader freezing and crashing, and then the drive disappearing from "My Computer" (in order to immediately solve that problem, I had to reboot the computer every time), but this was really due to the drive being defective, not the disc. I later replaced the drive, and it worked just fine.
  
  
• Technically complete...but save your money
  By AS5URV0GZV08 on 2008-04-16
  I bought this product because I wanted to catch up on stories from the 90's. Unfortunately, at that time Marvel ran several Spider-Man titles each month and the story lines moved between them. Because this collection contains only issues of The Amazing Spider-Man, you will find that you get the beginning of a story, but not the middle or end, because those were carried out in other comics; or the end but not the beginning. This product indeed contains the complete run--but it is made up of frustratingly incomplete stories. Also, each page appears with a horribly intrusive watermark. Save your money.
  
  
• Only one problem...
  By A2YWOUX38OE022 on 2007-02-04
  I bought both this DVD and the X-men DVD and I love both. However, I had to contact customer service. When I tried to view the DVD it woul dnot auto boot nor would it show anything but the 1960's folder in Windows explorer. I was perplexed why only one folder would show. I tried the DVD on 3 computers. On an older machine I keep at work for a backup the DVD worked fine. It would not work on my newer desktop or laptop.
  
  Customer service suggested that there was a problem with Roxio DVD/CD burner software I had. My older computer only had Nero on it and not Roxio so I figured this was the case.
  
  They suggested that I uninstall Roxio, which I can't really do as I enjoy using Roxio and Nero for different tasks. I am hoping they solved the problem with their software and this would appear to be the case since the X-Men DVD works well.
  
  Both were well worth the $33 paid for them so I could catch up with that kid in me!
  
  
• wonderful for everyone!
  By AM4ASKWEOMISB on 2007-06-09
  this is great! when my son asked for all the comic books i thought "he'll have them all over his room, i'll be tripping over them and they might get ruined" but the cd verision is great one disk to worry about and since there are so many books on the cd it hasn't left his computer cd drive yet!! love this more companies should do this!!
  
  
  
• Amazing!
  By AON235026ZSUF on 2007-07-05
  Hard to believe all this comic books history is packed on 1 DVD-ROM. Some of the scans are hard to read but that's probably due to the source material after all the earlier issues are 12 years older than me! As of the writing of this review im only on issue 36 so the scans should improve with time. Yes the earlier stories are somewhat "lacking" in my opinion not to mention plot (create villain, defeat villain, villain seeks revenge) but one must understand that these same stories laid the ground work for most modern day comics. An unbelievable value. Unless you have all the Amazing Spider-Man issues and if you do you probably have the earlier issues in a vacume vault where they can't be read this disc is a must. A great introduction to the world of Peter Parker The Amazing Spider-Man! I stumbled upon this gem while searching Spider-Man comic books on Amazon. I can't believe more people don't know about these discs. I Wish DC Comics Would follow suit I would love to have the complete Detective Comics/Action Comics (Batman & Superman Respectively) On Disc. I can't recomend this enough!!
  
  
• Anyone who loves Spider-Man has to have this
  By ARKW1BJZ459H on 2007-08-04
  I'm one of those Spider-Man fans that doesn't feel like they need to own the actual comics and spend a thousand dollars, but I do want to read all of them. I've looked high and low for a complete collection that I can just read and enjoy and this is by far the best collection out there. It is so easy to use and fun to read. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because if you are zoomed to 100%, some of the words are blurry. Zooming in fixes this problem completely, but it makes navigating through the pages a little harder. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this product and would recommend it to any web-slinger fan.
  
  
• Be careful of defective copies
  By A2FSUV2D7K5543 on 2006-11-07
  I rate this 5 stars based on my knowledge of the Fantastic Four and X-Men complete editions. I'm writing this review to warn people about my receiving 2 defective copies of the Spider-Man version from Amazon. I'll have to try a 3rd time.
  
  
• An excellent item for people who hate variant covers
  By A1S9O8CTEYMQTZ on 2007-05-28
  You are getting a heck of a lot for very little money with this collection. You're paying less than a dollar for each YEARS worth of comics. Sure this won't raise the value of your comic collection, but who cares? These collections are intended for people who actually want to read their comics, not for those who are looking for an investment. With most publishers dipping back into the mid-90's habit of making multiple covers of the same issue just to increase sales, a disc like this allows the reader to get down to what really matters: Great stories by great writers and artists. I'm not discounting the value of the covers... I'm just saying I don't need 4 of them just to give Jim Lee and Michael Turner some more unearned money.
  
  My biggest complaint (and it is a fairly insignificant one) is that each issue is one single PDF. I'd have preferred each page or two-page spread be a JPG. Just a personal preference for ease of use. You might go the other way, and really enjoy the PDFs. Because of the PDF format, you will probably want to view these on a widescreen monitor so you don't need to scroll too much.
  
  Overall, this is a great value. You really do get to see some of the best in the business at their prime, working on one of the marquee comic characters. I had none of the hardware/software conflicts that some people reported, and have been enjoying each and every issue.
  
  
• It's really amazing
  By A2URS0ITAI7X2D on 2007-07-25
  This CD ROM is really one of the best products about comics that I've ever seen. To the ones who missed the last issues of ASM is the perfect choice, and who wants to discover the origin of Peter Parker as our hero and his enemies is better than.
  
  
• Fun to have, but the comics are kind of hard to hold!
  By A3CW3OJ75UKFYM on 2007-08-08
  This is a great idea! 540 + Amazing Spiderman comics on one DVD-rom. And, the original adds and letters pages scanned onto the disc as well.
  But... I miss holding those magical Marvel Comics in my hand. Then again, now I get to view the incredible art and read the incredible stories of comics I wished to own as a kid, and can't afford NOW even as an adult!
  
  Sometimes, reading the comics on your MAC or PC with Adobe Reader can be tricky. Once I got used to it, I forgot about all the troubles I had when I first received the DVD - rom.
  
  For the money, all you Spider - Man fans should buy this product!
  
  
• awesome spider-man
  By A2WAKACAIN5UNY on 2007-12-28
  This cd rocks! It's really cool. I already knew the origin of spider-man but I really enjoyed the stories in a comic book text. I promise I will read more of it when I can.
  
  
• One wonderful collection with one big caveat
  By A2NFR7ZY7OK0C7 on 2008-01-08
  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.
  
  
  
  
• Great for every Comic Collection
  By A1Q4XTJG5SZH7Z on 2007-01-10
  This is a great way to get all the back story from Amazing Spider-Man. Because there is no way that I can afford all the real copys of the comics. Plus you don't have to worry about the rare comics getting damaged. The only real down fall I see with this is that you do not get any of the tie in comics. Like if the story jumps to another title, you miss it.
  
  
• Spider-Man comics on DVD
  By A1RZV0QCVQZ0WD on 2007-01-14
  It is great to be able to read all the spider-man comics again. I read them as a kid, but didn't get to read the very beginning. I hope that they bring out more of the comic book characters on DVD. I will buy more.
  
  
• Spidey fans must; Easier than collecting individual titles
  By A2R57BKZRRJCAC on 2007-01-27
  I got this for my husband for Christmas, and he loves it. It requires Adobe Reader 7, but the reader is free to download online. Since my husband collected Spiderman comics as a young man, this digital copy of the books provided him with the sentimental connection to what he had already read and the pleasure of reading earlier and later issues. Note that these are scanned copies of comic books, so some of the copies are not in pristine condition. However, they are readable. My husband also noted that some of the letters to the editor were interesting because they reflected on events contemporary to each comic book's publication.
  
  
• LOVE IT!
  By A1U78G2IRV4EIP on 2007-07-26
  I heard about this from a friend and I HAD to get it. I absolutely LOVE it! All the issues including the old ads...takes me back to when I first read these issues. Yes, the issues are scanned, so they're not super clear, but that's exactly how I remember the comic being too, so it made me love it more. If you're an old school Spidey fan, you will love this!!!!!
