    Giant-Size Spider-Man #1 does a great job delivering big superhero action while calling back on stories while building toward Rabble and "Gang War" related stories. Thanks to a classic Miles reprint, the book feels padded out, but it's a solid issue, so it's tough to complain. Read Full Review

    Ziglar gets the voice of Miles arguably more than anyone in comics today, and Coello's kinetic linework provides for some tasty action pieces. Read Full Review

    Giant-Size Spider-Man #1 is conflicting. The first in a set of 50th-anniversary one-shots, the idea is magnificent whilst the execution is strange. Read Full Review

    Giant-Size Spider-Man#1 is anything but giant-sized, unless you count the price which fails to accurately reflect the book's actual value. With half of the issue being a reprint of material that's readily available in so many forms, then the totally average-sized main story needed to have more of impact, whether in plot or artistry, than it does for this issue to be a hard recommendation for anyone other than completionists.

    It's pretty good. Coello's art is amazing and Ziglar's script is solid. I would have no issues here, if this was a true giant-size issue and not just two normal issues, one of which is just an old Miles comic. For newer readers, it might be nice, but I wasn't a fan of how this was handled.

    Unfortunately a waste of money, but Ziglar's new story for this is still fun.

    It's a decent bonus issue of MM: S-M (Miles teaming up with Misty Knight is one of my favorite parts of this volume), and I liked the ties to Gang War. It features a pretty cardboard-flat Venom, though. And even though I don't pay for comics by the issue (Marvel Unlimited), I feel the pain and injustice of having to pony up extra cash for a non-optional reprint.

    Waste of money. I didn't really need the back up story, I have it in trade. I got this because I heard it was connected to the main Miles series, and while it is, it's really not essential. It was just typical marvel superhero crap.
