Spider-Friends

The Marvel Spider-Man Crossovers and Team-Ups Sale runs through Monday, 5/26.

What’s this? A collection of various Spidey team-up titles and a few Events he appeared in.

What’s interesting?

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine – Jason Aaron / Adam Kubert
Spider-Man: Marvel Team-Up by Claremont and Byrne – Chris Claremont / John Byrne; They’d already been working on Iron Fist for not quite two years, but this is the other Claremont/Byrne collaboration before Byrne jumped on X-Men. A very good run.
Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do – Kevin Smith / Terry Dodson
Spider-Man/Deadpool – Lots of creators involved here, but Joe Kelly / Ed McGuinness and Robbie Thompson / Chris Bachalo / Matt Horak are representative runs.
- Also available in Epic Collections
Spider-Man/Doctor Strange: The Way To Dusty Death – Anthology of Spidey/Doctor Strange team-ups from Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Team-Up, Untold Tales of Spider-Man, etc. Everything from Lee/Ditko to Denny O’Neil/Frank Mller
Spider-Man & Venom: Double Trouble – Mariko Tamaki / Gurihiru; one of the more creative creator pairings
Spider-Man and Wolverine – Zeb Wells / Joe Madureira
Uncanny Spider-Man: Fall Of X – Si Spurrier / Lee Garbett; Better known as story of Nightcrawler discovering his origins, he’s also impersonating Spidey while hiding out; We really liked this one.

Which Witch?

The Marvel Scarlet Witch and Vision Sale runs through Monday, 5/26.

Hey, they’re a couple again… at least for this sale.

First: Wanda-centric comics:

The value buy here is Vision & The Scarlet Witch: The Saga of Wanda and Vision. It’s a sort of faux-Epic Edition, clocking in at 467 pages and including the wedding of Wanda and Vision from Giant-Size Avengers #4, the ’82 Bill Mantlo/Rick Leonardi mini-series and the ’85 Steve Englehart/Richard Howell 12-parter.

Avengers West Coast Epic Collection: Vision Quest has Wanda’s original heel-turn in John Byrne’s run that was an influence on the TV show. (It also has the end of the Englehart run and that counts for something, too.) This apparently replaces House of M in this sale for Wanda heel-turns?

The current Steve Orlando / Sarah Pichelli / Lorenzo Tammetta / Jacopo Camagni run got a relaunch (yes, we’re shocked a Marvel book relaunched with minimal to no changes), so it’s listed in two places:

Yes, a relaunch so deeply meaningful, they didn’t bother restarting the numbering for the collected editions. One run, as far as we’re concerned.

Over the Vision side of the aisle, there is a CLASSIC tome you should read if you have any interest in the character:

Vision: The Complete Series – Tom King / Gabriel Hernandez Walta. After his split with Wanda, The Vision moves to the suburbs with a synthezoid wife and two synthezoid kids in tow? What could go wrong? Plenty, as his new world slowly unravels. Probably the best early King book.

Avengers Epic Collection: Behold… The Vision – starts out with the classic two-part debut of The Vision (ending in “Evan an Android Can Cry). This volume is essentially the middle third of the Roy Thomas run. John Buscema / Barry Windsor Smith / Gene Colan / Sal Buscema are. Plenty of Ultron and the debuts of the Squadron Sinister and Invaders towards the end.

Avengers: Absolute Vision – Book One and Book Two – Roger Stern / Al Milgrom / Bob Hall; contain a long arc (that mostly executes in the second volume) where the Vision goes slightly mad and tries to take over the world’s computers.

Con Adjacent

The Titan Comics MCM London 2025 Sale runs through Friday, 5/30.

MCM London is a British comic convention. (We’ll let you guess which city it’s in.) No, no Conan in this one, but what we do have is:

Anfield Road – Chris Shepherd
A Call to Cthulhu – Norm Konju
Death Sentence – Monty Nero / Mike Dowling
- Single Issues
Death Sentence: London – Monty Nero / Martin Simmonds
- Single issues
