After I finished up the Hobgoblin subplot, there was still the lingering matter of the black costume. So, a few more volumes to cover a few more loose ends.
The Wedding
Amazing Spider-Man #290-292
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21
Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #7
Amazing Spider-Man ’96 (second story)
Webspinners #1 (backup story)
I copied the last two pages of ASM Annual #21 so I could insert the Spectacular annual in between, but if I were doing it again now, I’d probably just leave it.
Kraven’s Last Hunt and Mad Dog Ward both occur here. KLH has been reprinted several times, and I’m not interested in Mad Dog Ward (although I think it’s been reprinted with a sequel from the 1990 adjectiveless series).
Loose Ends
Spectacular Spider-Man #134-136
Amazing Spider-Man #296-300
Web of Spider-Man #39
Amazing Spider-Man #301-303
Web of Spider-Man #40-43
Amazing Spider-Man #304-310
Really, the main impetus behind this book was getting Peter David’s final Spectacular story (and sequel to Death of Jean DeWolff), and the transition back to red-and-blues (plus Venom origin) in ASM #298-300. Because the early McFarlane issues are still going for insane prices, I had to get the Visionaries trades. Well, I needed volume 1 for this book, and volume 2 for the Inferno issues, otherwise, I would have just ended with ASM #300. ASM #296-297 are basically included because by this point, I already have all of the surrounding issues. Web #40-43 contain another Peter David arc, which are always solid reads. I have since expanded my collection to include Conway’s runs on Spectacular and Web, so this volume has been remapped, with other books added around Inferno. Those books are reflected in the primary Spider-Man collection map.
Inferno
Amazing Spider-Man #311
Spectacular Spider-Man #146
Web of Spider-Man #47
Amazing Spider-Man #312
Spectacular Spider-Man #147
Web of Spider-Man #48
Amazing Spider-Man #313
Spectacular Spider-Man #148
Web of Spider-Man #49
Amazing Spider-Man #314
The Inferno plot ends with SSM #148, but Web #49 is a decent one-shot by Peter David, and ASM #314 was the last issue in the Visionaries trade, so I might as well keep it.
