Spider-Man By Roger Stern Omnibus

Product Information

Stern’s run starts off awkwardly, with the writer pairing with the legendary Marie Severin in 1980’s Issue #45 to complete a Vulture two-parter started by then-outgoing Amazing Spider-Man scribe, Marv Wolfman. Stern injects some life into the weird story, enough to bring immediate stability to a title that, in my opinion, struggled with a consistent vision for Peter/Spidey.

Miles Morales is a multimedia star. The main character of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, he first appeared after the death of the Ultimate Universe Spider-Man. Miles soon got his own series from writer Brian Michael Bendis, who created the character. Over the twenty-seven issue run of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Bendis created the holy writ of Miles Morales. a b Cooke, Jon B. (March 2001). "Rog-2001: Sterno Speaks!

In the end this was a fun read by one of the better writers of comic books. Although it didn't live up to the hype I hear from fellow collectors ("Best Spider-man omnibus") I enjoyed it. I suspect some of their love is because this is the Spider-man they grew up with and it has a lot of good childhood memories associated with it.

In 2000, Marvel introduced the "Ultimate Universe." In this alternate reality, classic Marvel characters and mythos were reset with new, unknown futures, while the main Marvel comic continuity continued. Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley teamed up to write and illustrate Ultimate Spider-Man. Shying Away From Typical Rogues. Aside from the Vulture, who Stern seems to love (more on that later), the writer tends to avoid using the tried and true Spidey villains, instead bringing in other baddies from other rogues galleries — even boiling down to a joke or two in the comics. I’m not sure it’s something that could be pulled off today, but the change of pace really lets readers focus on Spider-Man and who he is, and the novelty of a villain without much experience battling Spidey really holds together. The best example, of course, is the classic Juggernaut two-parter, but both Stern runs are rife with cool battles against villains like Cobra, Nitro, Power Man and more. In 1987, after a dispute with editor Mark Gruenwald over upcoming storylines, Stern was fired from The Avengers. [19] He began freelancing for DC Comics, where he was one of the core Superman writers for almost a decade, working on Superman (vol. 2), Action Comics, and Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. He contributed to such storylines as "Panic in the Sky" [20] and " The Death of Superman" which revived interest in the character in the early 1990s. He created the Eradicator in Action Comics Annual #2 [21] [22] and later incorporated the character into the "Reign of the Supermen" story arc beginning in The Adventures of Superman #500. [23] Stern wrote the 1991 story wherein Clark Kent finally revealed his identity as Superman to Lois Lane. [24] [25] In Summer 1995, Stern and artist Tom Grummett created a new quarterly series, Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. [26] Additionally, Stern was one of the many creators who worked on the Superman: The Wedding Album one-shot in 1996 which featured the title character's marriage to Lois Lane. [27] Besides his work on Superman, Stern (with co-plotter Tom McCraw) wrote Legionnaires from 1996 to 1999. Other work for DC included a relaunched Atom series, drawn by Dwayne Turner [13] and the co-creation of the Will Payton version of Starman with artist Tom Lyle. [28]

Before I'd read this book I'd only read Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol 1 -3. So there was a big gap of over 100 issues between that and this book. Felt a bit weird at first to skip all that, but after a couple issues of Spectacular Spider-Man you kinda forget about that as you're caught up on where Petter is in his life. In his 60 years of publication, the character of Peter Parker/Spider-Man has been crafted by some of the best comic book writers and artists in the business. Lee and Ditko may have created the character, but future comic runs by people like Gerry Conway, Roger Stern, and Dan Slott expanded the Spidey lore and took the character to new heights. Working with artists like Sara Pichelli, Chris Samnee, David Marquez, and Pepe Larraz, Bendis did something few creators had done. Bendis created an entirely new version of a fan-favorite character and turned Miles Morales into an icon. Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man's opening run helped make that possible. Speaking of Hobgoblin - that saga wasn't nearly as cool as I would have thought. This is my first time reading it and he wasn't that great a villain. I also was irritated that his identity is never revealed AND (I read wikipedia) the original idea for his reveal was changed by the writer who replaced Stern.
