PiercingMetal Thoughts: Though I’m not 100% up on all of the latest doings in the Spider-Man universe I am someone who loves adding a first-issue to the collection and this one might just grab my interest since it will be lining out some of the tales to come for the famed Wall-Crawler. Considering it is listed as being “Giant-Sized” I am a tad shocked that no price is listed along in the press release and also the lack of some additional art to share with you all. I foresee this running the collector about $10 give or take so perhaps you want to peruse it on the racks first before you add it to your long boxes. Whatever the case may be it is surely going to be an interesting year for the Spider-Man universe of characters and comic book titles. What do you all think about this one? Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you next time.
