- Awesome deal....
I bought this as an impulse buy. (Thanks to all the good reviews) But I must say this product is well worth it! And seeing as I work at a computer throughout most of the week reading Spider-Man through PDFs are great. Most times I just copy about 79 issues worth of spider-man onto my USB Key and I'm good to go. And just to keep this on topic ..... AWESOME Deal and an amazing steal! 500+ issues for only the price of about two really good graphic novels, great stuff! Buy it! 'Nuff said.

- Spider-man, Spider-man, Does Whatever A Spider Can...
I didn't like Spider-man at first. I was quite a bit like J.J.J. up until New Years Day, 2007, when I borrowed the first two movies (the ones with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst) from my brother. I was immediately amazed.

Shortly after buying my own copies of the movies, I thought of this DVD-ROM. I had bought the Fantastic Four's collection:44 Years of the Fantastic Four Collector's Edition Win/Mac [DVD], in the previous year, so I already knew the quality to expect. In addition, trying to collect all these comics in either reprints or back issues (this set costs a very small fraction of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1, much less his first appearance in AMAZING FANTASY, also on this disc) would cost BUKO $$$, and the problem with back issues: comics age over time and the paper begins to get old and thin, so damage to a back issue by simply reading it is very easy! So, I went ahead and ordered.

In a couple months, I read the comics avidly from the '60s into the early '80s. I eventually took a break, and will likely pick up again after seeing SPIDER-MAN 3.

I'd always heard Marvel did better comics than DC. I thought the FANTASTIC FOUR worked just because it was a group, but in reading SPIDER-MAN, I saw the same reality was in more than one Marvel title. Peter Parker has to worry about his job and school, and just felt like a 'real' person.

Meanwhile Brand Echh (DC) lacks this. They try to put it in, but they never made it steady. My favorite DC character is the Elongated Man, and they KILLED him! That was it! MAKE MINE MARVEL!

A must for any Spidey fan. Whether you've been a follower of the webhead for years or have just begun (like me) and want to read his roots for yourself, save yourself some money, and get this disc.

ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE...
This is still a DVD-ROM, and it is still susceptible to scratches and breakage. If possible, make and use a copy (you will need a DVD-R/+R DL disc, it's over 6 GB of comics, so dual layer is neccessary) to protect the original. If you can't take good care of your disc. (NOTE: Copying copyrighted media is legal as long as you are the one who makes the copy, and you, or an immediate family member, are the one who uses it, AND you keep the original!)

I've yet to have a problem with my disc (except the times that I accidentally took it out while trying to read a comic) but with my FF disc, I did have problems with Adobe Reader freezing and crashing, and then the drive disappearing from "My Computer" (in order to immediately solve that problem, I had to reboot the computer every time), but this was really due to the drive being defective, not the disc. I later replaced the drive, and it worked just fine.

- wrong description
Amazon made an error in describing a new edition of this dvd that goes through December 2006. I contacted the manufacturer, GIT, and they said there is no second version. The dvd only goes thru June 2006. So nobody is being cheated

- The only thing that is better then this collection is having the original books themselves.
"The Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection" is a necessary part of any true "Amazing Spider-Man" comic book collector's collection. The only thing that is better then this collection is having the original books themselves. The Scans are complete books from cover to cover, ads, and pinups.
The scans look good at 800% zoon, but I find that 200% makes for an easy and clear reading of the scans. It is wonderful to be able to view the scans from any computer and prints them to read from other locations. The prints look equally as good as the scans.
I would recommend the "The Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection" to any true Amazing Spider-Man collector, who wants to see 43 years of the amazing stories, of Marvel's most amazing character, the one the only Amazing Spider-Man.

- An, um... amazing value
All of these Marvel complete collections on DVD-ROM are insanely great values, but this one is even better than the others. Like all of them, you get the classic stories from the '60s, the decent stories from the '70s and '80s, and the horrible stories from the '90s.

But whereas the Fantastic Four and Uncanny X-Men have been fairly undistinguished in the '00s, Amazing Spider-Man has had a superb run by J. Michael Straczynski. Straczynski's run up to 2006 is collected in ten graphic novels, which are... well, you can look the price up here on Amazon, if you want a precise number. But suffice it to say that if you just wanted to read those modern comics, and didn't care about the Lee/Ditko era or anything else before the turn of the century, you'd STILL be saving piles of money.

As far as the quality and ease-of-use of the comics go, my expectations have been met and exceeded, and I'm picky. The scans are high-quality two-page spreads (including all ads and letters and Bullpen Bulletins, which are interesting in their own right -- I can't wait until I start reading Hostess Fruit Pie ads) and show about as much detail as actually exists in the source. Plus, these are regular ol' PDFs, so there's no need to install some weird proprietary application on your computer (and Adobe Reader in full-screen mode on a 1600x1200 display is absolutely perfect for reading a two-page spread).

I bought this along with the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four sets, and am reading them all in parallel month-by-month, starting at the beginning. This doesn't quite fulfill my childhood dream of having every Marvel comic ever published and reading them all in order (though it'll get even closer once they release their Captain America, Hulk, and Thor DVDs), but it's a heck of a lot closer than I ever thought I'd get, for a heck of a lot less than I ever thought I'd have to pay.

I can't recommend these sets -- and particularly this one -- enough to any fan of Marvel superhero comics.

One very mild caveat: Like a few of the earlier reviewers, the version I got only went through mid-2006, not through the end of the year as in the picture and description above. On the one hand, that's unfortunate, as Straczynski's comics are good and worth reading; on the other hand, mid-2006 is already up to the point where it's into the "Civil War" stuff, which is crossover central (the Road to Civil War print collection that was just released, for instance, includes a few issues of Fantastic Four and two issues of Amazing Spider-Man (which actually are included on the DVD), so if you want to read those FF issues, you'd pretty much have to buy the print collection anyway). I wouldn't fuss about the missing months too much.
