In my original version of this volume, I included the second story from Amazing Spider-Man Annual ’96 after the Spectacular Annual.  However, that issue was more difficult to find later on, and not worth the effort for tracking down.  Marvel Saga #22 is a summary of the Peter-MJ relationship, and Marvel Age #54 featured a few articles that were good supplemental features.

The goal of this volume was to have a self-contained Spider-Man specific volume of Civil War that could be read as part of a complete Spider-Man readthrough.  I used just enough material from the main Civil War series to smooth out a few plot points.  Depending on what source you use for that material (original issues, Civil War Chronicles, TPBs, etc.) and willingness to scan and print, the exact page numbers could adjust slightly.  Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #5 was saved for an anthology project, as most of the issue is flashback or flashforward.

Amazing Spider-Man:  Renew Your Vows #1-5 (Secret Wars tie-in mini-series – ASM legacy #752-756)

This volume was constructed completely from TPBs.  Originally, I bought the Spider-Verse hardcover when Amazon had it for something like 70% off on preorder, but disagreed with how Marvel laid the book out.  For the most part, they basically grouped issues together by series.  They did provide a “reading order” in the front, but even that is flawed.  If I wanted to read the series separately, I would have purchased the individual trades.  I used the TPB version of Spider-Verse and rearranged the issues and omitted a few that didn’t easily splice into the main narrative (mainly Spider-Woman and Spider-Man 2099 plus a few of the anthology stories).  I only use one story from Spider-Verse #2 and actually used the version reprinted in the Renew Your Vows TPB as it doesn’t share pages with another story.  While I had to print out a couple of covers to keep them with their actual issue, there were only two story pages that required a scan-and-print (the two stories in Spider-Verse Team-Up #2).

The back-up story from Clone Conspiracy #1 is all flashback and can be placed in any number of places.  I didn’t like how it interrupted the flow of CC #1 -> ASM #20 -> CC #2, so I picked a spot where it made sense to pause and take a look back at Gwen Stacy.  I constructed this volume from the massive Clone Conspiracy trade and the Worldwide volume 4 TPB, and the only story page that I needed to copy was the first page of “King’s Favor”.

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).

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.

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.

Any Amazing Spidey issues that are skipped are fill-ins. For Spectacular Spider-Man, I only included issues written by Peter David, or those that predated his run that were important. Finally, I only included issues of Web of Spider-Man that seemed important. The series was a mess for its entire lifespan, being the redheaded stepchild of the line, with a lot of musical chairs on the creative side, and always falling slave to the other two series.

(This volume is sort of a filler volume. I don’t think it really advances the Hobgoblin plot, but there are enough threads here that are necessary to understand future volumes. Spec 103 and ASM 266-267 are PAD written issues, and so I figure they can’t suck.)

(A note about internal chronology and splicing issues in this volume — Web 16-18 is “Missing in Action”. ASM 279 does take place during Peter’s missing time in that arc. Web 19 picks up seconds after the end of 18, which leads into #20, where Peter goes to Europe, continuing in #22 (21 is filler). Then, we have the first half of 23 happening immediately after 22 (Peter returns from Europe). There is scene in the middle that links up to ASM #280. The rest of Web #23 takes place “days later” and leads directly into Web 24, which is why I’ve placed it at the end. Meanwhile, ASM 280 and 281 is an arc, where Spidey gets a concussion at the end. He crawls back to his apartment in 282, and still has the effects of the concussion in Spec 119. As noted above, there’s the slip up where Spidey mentions the events of Spec 118 in ASM 283 as “yesterday”. The only other solution is to put the issues out of order, and have 118 come after 119, but I’m not so sure about that, because the subplot running through Spec at the time, which ends in #118 would seem far too drawn out at that point. While Spec 117 is the Missing in Action tie-in, there is nothing that requires it to actually take place during that arc.)

I opted against using the first half of the Web of Spider-Man series, and also dropped a lot of the extras that would go into a companion book. I also included the backup story from #601, leaving it in place. It probably should go into New Avengers, but then we would lose the letters page here, and it would be tricky to force it into the middle of that stretch of New Avengers.

Spider-Man: The Lost Years 0

-Start off with Pursuit. I debated including Lifetheft, but since the first three pages of Pursuit summarize it, I’m leaving that for another book.
-I skip most of the arcs between Pursuit and Power and Responsibility, because either they weren’t that good, they caused some continuity problems, or both. I am including the Ben Reilly pages from Spider-Man 48-49 between ASM 392-393.
-I included the first Peter Parker arc after P&R, to sort of wrap up the whole “Spider” subplot deMatteis had going.
-Lost Years 0 reprints the flipbook/backup features from the Power and Responsiblity arc, and ASM 400/Aftershocks. It is a better option to use, because it requires less copying of pages, and allows the binder to use the regular non-flip, non-cardstock version of P&R.

-I would have loved to make this book just Scarlet Spider, but I needed Web of Death in there, because of the baby subplot.
-I included the flip book features with the text stories at the end, just because i had nowhere else to put them, and needed to pad out the volume a little bit.

Spider-Man: The Jackal Files

-The Clone Journal is a recap book. It probably goes best before ASM 400, but would look stupid in the middle of a book. Hence, the four pages I’m taking out, which recap the Smoke and Mirrors arc. I wouldn’t recommend making a special effort to obtain this issue, though, if you don’t already have it.
-Ideally, it would be cool to have Maximum Clonage in this book too, to collect the entire Jackal subplot, but the book is already too big as it is. This way, it does show Ben and Peter’s uneasy alliance, ending with the revelation about who is the clone, which pisses Peter off.

-The Final Adventure has those evil cardstock covers, but fortunately, the cover art for the next issue was included in each previous issue. So, I could discard the actual covers to 2-4, and just had to make a copy of 1.
-The ASM annual story is a flashback to the Gwen era. But the framing sequence takes place during the Clone Saga. Since I already used the second half of the annual in a Wedding volume, it seemed a waste not to bind the first story.

-This volume is all about the skeleton in the smokestack. Originally split across two volumes, I felt that putting them all together in one would give the individual volumes some cohesion.
-Sensation 6 was Jurgens’ last issue, and parallels 0, so I felt it was a better idea to include in this volume, instead of leading off the next. After all, if it wasn’t for a new EIC and the Onslaught crossover, the Clone Saga probably would have ended here. Instead, it continues on, and you can tell that the next batch of issues were just the creators having a little fun with Ben.

-The biggest problem with this volume is that Spec 235 and Spider-Man 70 both continue directly into Spec 236. Instead of trying to keep Spec 235-236 before Spider-Man 70, and have to move upwards of 4 pages (which would involve copying pages), I have simply moved the last two pages of Spider-Man 70 in between Spec 235-236. Not 100% perfect, but close enough, and doesn’t involve the use of a scanner.

Spider-Man: 101 Ways to End the Clone Saga

-I was tempted to put Spider-Man 73-74 at the end of the previous volume, since the whole gang war subplot was brewing there. Plus, the last line of 74 would be very fitting for the end of the penultimate volume. However, that would make this last volume a little too short.

Issues left out:
-Spider-Man Unlimited 7: crap stories, and they interfere with the first two post P&R arcs.
-Spider-Man Unlimited 13: more of a Luke Cage story than Spider-Man.
-Lost Years 1-3: included in trade.
-Super Specials (Planet of the Symbiotes): kind of clunky to insert into the ongoing narrative. Also, I’ve been having a hard time finding the last issue anyway.
-any New Warriors issue except 67: I don’t really see any need to include them. Except 67, which is a direct crossover with Web of Scarlet Spider.

Alternate idea:
-end Volume 1 with Spectacular 216 or 217, and then include Lost Years 0-3.  The remaining issues would be moved to the beginning of volume 2.
