Amazing Spider-Man Epic Collection: Venom [New Printing] (Marvel Amazing Spider-Man)

Granted McFarlane as a comic artist won me over first Spidey I’d ever read he’d drawn and only tapped into my personal artistic soul with all he’s done with his talent since then, this collection has not only a mass of those great reads but to cherry the top with the comics that preceded that artistic explosion- hobgoblin and even the stint at the madhouse. I remember those comics actually creeped me out as a kid. Awesome addition to a fan’s collection- whether for Spidey or McFarlane or if you’re like me Both!

One of the best runs of Spider-Man ever! Phenomenal artwork, stories & the best Marvel Epic Collection so far (in my opinion)! Very highly recommended! A+

The evolution of Todd McFarlane.

Venoms introduction is very cool other then that this book is pretty boring.

Very good

Amazing Spider-Man volume 18 (Venom) of the epic collection was a little disappointing when it first came out due to printing production. Luckily the problems have been fixed on the 2nd reprint. From the missing "epic collection" on the spine of the book to the quality of the paper used are now resolved.

Just like I remember, a Sunday afternoon as a kid reading some of my favorite comics. Good times. Now during this pandemic and the technology of the 21st century I can read my old comics digitally! Thank you for such a pleasant memory.

I grew up with the David Michelinie run on Spider-Man so maybe I'm a little biased. Seems like Todd McFarlane was still figuring out what he wanted to do on this one but it's still a great volume.

Awesome art and lovely stories

Marvel has since produced a second printing of this Epic Collection, and the good news is it is the normal printing as with the other Epic Collections. i.e. not the Quad printing. This is what I received from Amazon today, and it is a nice addition to my Epic Collection.

This epic collection product would have been great if not for the damaged top edge and some sticky pages.

It seems like everyone else, I too got a copy printed with the same manufacturing error and problems. The paper is cheap and doesnt sit flat due to the ink making it wavey. The cover was too thin and seems as if it was pulled too tight when it was cut, so now curls back. The book wasnt cut straight so sit at a slight angle on a shelf and is not flush. The first few pages that keep the pages grounded to the cover are glued in at and angle, so the entire book is fighting against itself when closed. What happens when everything is not flat and perfectly lined up when bound, you get a stress point halfway down the spine where the top half is pushing against the bottom to be flush... The book doesnt lay flat on a table. I will update this when Amazon give me a resolution, hopefully a full refund. Who know if Marvel issues a reprinting. Seems this Quad Publishing company is very poor quality indeed. None of my other Epics are this bad. I recently got the Conan books and the quality is top notch with high quality paper and a thick cover stock, yet they were much cheaper than this volume of Spiderman. I am hoping the other 2 Spiderman volumes I ordered are in ideal shape, because constantly having to vontact Amazon about damaged books is growing tiresome.

Ótima edição, histórias muito divertidas, fora a primeira aparição do Venom na edição 300! Mas a entrega deixou a desejar. A caixa veio sem nenhuma proteção, o que ocasionou amassos nas pontas, nada grave, ainda bem. Se você sabe inglês, vale muito mais apenas do que as versões brasileiras. Principalmente agora, quando os preços da Panini e Marvel/DC U.S estão se equiparando.
