PiercingMetal Thoughts: When it comes to Marvel Comics, I am pretty certain that my first favorite as a young collector so many years ago was the Amazing Spider-Man. With that being the case I am obviously excited for any new debut of a first issue and especially something like the Giant-Size releases which were items I just loved in my youth. I’ll be asking my local comic book shop to add this to my very limited pull list. I don’t collect like I used to but when I do grab some titles I love doing short videos with them for the social media stuff. Anyway this one does sound interesting and if you’re new to collecting please realize that there is nothing wrong with adding a Spider-Man first issue to your pile. I’ll wrap up now and leave with the usual inquiry of what you all think about this announcement. If you’re one of my fellow comic book fans that is. See you next time.
