David Michelinie

Michelinie and Bagley on Amazing Spider-Man in the late 80s and early 90s: they consolidated Venom as the main antagonist of the wall-crawler and created Carnage. This is the run that defined the visual identity of Spider-Man for an entire generation — cartoons, video games, the 90s animated series, all draw from Bagley's Spider-Man. One of the most commercially successful periods in the character's history.

The focused collection of Marvel's greatest rivalry. Every major Spider-Man vs Venom confrontation from the symbiote's birth through their most brutal battles, collected in a single massive omnibus. Includes the original separation, Venom's debut as a villain, Lethal Protector, Planet of the Symbiotes and every key battle in between. 1,160 pages that trace the complete evolution of one of the most commercially successful villain relationships in superhero comics history.

David Michelinie and Erik Larsen take the reins of Amazing Spider-Man after Todd McFarlane's departure to Image Comics. The Sinister Six reform in a story that is simultaneously a greatest-hits parade and a genuine threat. Venom returns for multiple confrontations that continue to define the symbiote's relationship with Spider-Man. Erik Larsen's dynamic, energetic art bridges the McFarlane era and the 1990s excess. 888 pages of central early-1990s Spider-Man in Marvel Omnibus hardcover.

The Clone Saga begins: Ben Reilly, a clone of Peter Parker created years ago by the Jackal, reappears in New York and soon the question is radical: who is the real Peter and who is the clone? One of the most talked about and debated sagas of the character. Read from the beginning, it has a coherence and mystery that make it enjoyable.
