Amazing Spider Man – Spider Island Mini-Series
The team – Slott / Ramos / Caselli / Remender / Fowler
Spider Island covers issues #666-673, ASM: Infested, and SI: Deadly Foes and Venom #6-9
Just a small heads up, there is a ton of stories ahead! I think this is the biggest review I have ever done for a complete mini-series. Even with ASM!

Venom #6-9
Its tough to describe a small part of this series. Its epic, exciting, insane, and sometimes even horror filled. I can only wonder what the team was thinking of, coming up with the concept. “How do we turn our characters into spiders!?” And the funny thing is, it actually works as a horror story. Plus seeing Peter Parker as the main character, really changes the focus of what makes him a hero outside of the Spider-man suit.
Who is involved? Pretty much the entire Marvel Universe. I can only fathom how the artists had to tackle such an extreme schedule producing enough art to keep readers focused till the last page. There are so many sub-chapters, and the main tale that weaves an entire web around both friends and enemies. And there are so many hidden surprises, you might have to read it more than once to find out just what happened.
Venom’s tale focuses within the stealth part of the tale. Flash is still trying to gain control of the creature, but loses once he becomes enraged. And it gets even stronger with the worldwide event of the Spiders taking control over Manhattan. Plus his mission to take down the “Spider King” involves more than his powers as a soldier, but also with the symbiote. *Wait till you find out who is the Spider King!
Even more bizarre is how they brought back “The Jackal” from the Clone Saga. At first, I’m sure some fans felt a bit skeptical over that fact, but there are very few villains in the Marvel Universe that could push so many buttons. And it even contains the “cause and effect” of the entire MU that is still felt it current storylines. *Including Fear Itself!
Overall Spider Island is a fantastic read. And I cannot express enough words to really tell someone to read this fun tale in comic book storytelling. Plus the art is fantastic, it covers light, dark, and beyond.
If this is not in your collection yet, go buy it! (just be advised it’s a bit more expensive than regular TPB or HC editions)
