Add to favoritesI started with single issues for binding, but after creating an almost bare boned Spider Island volume, I decided to switch to trades, until coming back for the big lead up to #700 for a final bound volume.
Big Time

ASM 652-653 (Looter backups)

Amazing Spider-Man 665
Amazing Spider-Man Annual 38
Deadpool Annual 1
Incredible Hulks Annual 1
ASM 661 (backup)
If a backup story is not listed, then it is not moved. I left the Infested backups in because too many of them shared story pages, but I did get the Infested one-shot to include them at the beginning of Spider Island. There was discussion and apparently Dan Slott said that the Free Comic Book Day issue should be read somewhere around #664. However, due to scenes involving Shang-Chi, and references to the Anti-Venom arc, the FCBD book has to go where I have listed it. The annuals (and most backups) are optional, since none are written by Slott.

ASM 699.1 is completely optional, since it’s more like Morbius #0…a series that was cancelled before that issue even came out, it seemed. I almost included Avenging Spider-Man 15.1 at the end, but it felt like that issue fit better as Superior Spider-Man #0, and should begin a new book instead of ending this one.
Below is the cover I made for the volume, featuring a 50 year montage of Amazing Spider-Man covers.
