Eight spectacular creative teams deliver eight amazing stories following everyone’s favorite web crawler in an issue that celebrates 60 years of Spider-Man. Yes, the numbering isn't exactly accurate, but who actually cares when the issue itself is this great? Each story is a different length, but they are all pretty consistently great throughout. I didn't outright dislike a single one. I laughed and cried through most of them, and I’ve honestly never enjoyed a specialized anniversary issue as much as this one. It is nearly flawless.
An individual review for each story, along with the credits for the creative teams, can be found listed down below:
“Just Some Guy” by Anthony Falcoe, Micheal Cho, and Joe Sabino ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 1/2
Falcoe and Cho team up for a story that shows us why Spider-Man still goes after low-level street criminals, even when alien and cosmic threats are constantly showing themselves. A fantastic way to open the issue up.
“Sinister 60th” by Dan Slott, Jim Cheung, Jay David Ramos, and Joe Sabino ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Spider-Man celebrates his 60th birthday in only a way Spider-Man can. I’m iffy on Dan Slott’s Spider-Man run as a whole, but this was fucking brilliant. One of his best stories for the character. No spoilers though...
“Spider-Man vs. Conspiration” by Armando Iannucci, Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer, Sonia Oback, Joe Sabino ☆ ☆ ☆ 1/2
The Daily Bugle begins showing people what they secretly want to believe one morning, and all hell breaks loose in NYC. While the story is an okay enough take on the whole "Fake News" shit, the highlight of this is Stegman’s pencils. His Superior Spider-Man art is still some of my favorite Spider-Man art to this day, so it's just nice seeing him draw the character again. His action scenes just always have so much energy to them.
“The Kid’s Got a Good Eye” by Rainbow Rowell, Oliver Coipel, Matthew Wilson, and Ariana Maher ☆ ☆ ☆
Coipel’s art is pretty, but this is basically just Rainbow Rowell writing an idiotic and annoying JJJ. It’s fine I guess, but Coipel getting to draw all the different characters is the best part.
“In the Flesh” by Ho Che Anderson, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Klaus Janson, Jordie Bellaire, and Clayton Cowles ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
A woman dealing with some mental health issues, which include thinking that spiders are climbing around underneath her skin, has a run-in with a certain super-powered, human-sized arachnid.
Seeing Ho Che Anderson getting a spot in this anthology is like a dream come true. I fucking love this dude and this was my favorite story from the whole one-shot. He does an amazing job with Camuncoli on this short, and I still can't believe the same guy who did Wise Son: The White Wolf wrote this. And check that series out if you can find it, it's very ahead of its time. I’m still salty that his Devil’s Reign tie-in book got canceled, but this amazing short sorta makes up for that.
The art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Klaus Janson, and Jordie Bellaire is a perfect match for Anderson's story too. These 3 working together is a legit dream team. Camuncoli's pencils are brought to life by Janson's stellar inks, and Bellaire's use of warm colors always brings the perfect tone to each scene. A horrific story that contains a truly tear-jerking moment and one of the most wonderful endings to any Spidey short story, all helped out immensely by the stunning art. Best story from this anthology.
“Slaves of the Witch-Queen” by Kurt Busiek, Terry Dodson, Rachel Dodson, and Joe Sabino ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
The blurb at the beginning says “Busiek, the Dodsons, and Sabino bring you a sequel to the classic Amazing Fantasy #15 — but maybe not in the way you think!”, and that sums this up pretty well without spoiling anything. An engaging story with some drop-dead gorgeous art.
“You Get It” by Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto, Frank Martin, and Joe Sabino ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Spider-Man has a heart-to-heart with [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] about his doubts as a superhero and questions how he can keep going forward since he never seems to get a win. One of Hickman’s best and funniest shorts, and Checchetto’s art throughout is perfect. That 4th page is just amazing, and I love how much emotion he's able to show even though Peter has a mask on the whole story. I would love to see these two work on some more comics eventually.
“With Great Power…” by Neil Gaiman, Steve McNiven, Richard Isanove, and Todd Klein ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Gaiman writes an incredibly personal, touching, and respectful tribute to Steve Ditko. This is probably my second favorite story after Anderson’s, and it’s always cool to see McNiven on interiors. Not his best interior work ever, but it didn't need to be since this isn't some blockbuster event. And the style he uses here makes everything feels more intimate. This was the best possible way to conclude the main stories of this already amazing one-shot.
"Along Came A Rhino" by Mike Pasciullo, Todd Nauck, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Joe Sabino ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Now I said there were 8 stories in here, but as you can see there is a 9th. This is the first 5 pages of a completed-but-never-published 5 issue miniseries by Mike Pasciullo, who sadly passed away this June. He was the head of marketing at Marvel before he passed and had been working there for over 25 years, and it's nice they included this as a tribute to the man. His close friends drew the first 5 pages for the first issue, and the final page of it is a perfect closer to the issue.
TLDR; Amazing Fantasy #1000 is one of the best anniversary issues anyone can read, and is a must-read for any Spider-Man fan. This was the best possible way Marvel could've celebrated this character's history.

This is a 1000th issue of Amazing Fantasy and it stars good Ole Spiderman in 8 shorts written by a shed load of talent who clearly manage to celebrate Spiderman.
Spiderman has always been a favorite of mine even when I went through some times of partners who thought I should grow up and leave comics to kids or nerds. I guess I loved and left them, I just never was a fan of censorship in a relationship. You do change each other but never demand something of the other you found charming to begin with.
So I am still a big kid at heart, my wife prefers me that way, and I gave a bit of the nerdiness to our daughters, and it makes them happy too.
Why I took some time away from the Spiderverse, that is simply because sometimes comics get too big and difficult, it has been so with me but I always enjoy Spidey preferable a little less convoluted. These 8 tales are fun, the first 5 pages of a writer/artist past away drawn and colored by his friends show everything about Spiderman you need to know.
Great celebration of Spiderman👍

I really enjoyed this collection!
Some great stories and the artwork was phenomenal.
This shows a more human side to the web-slinger we all love, and I really enjoyed seeing different sides to him. They range from funny to serious to just plain wholesome.
The art varies between stories but the love is still there in the warmth of the colours. There's a real respect here for Spidey and all he's been for so many people.
A beautiful celebration of Spider-Man and his contribution to the comic world.

A solid and fun celebration of 60 years of Spider-Man. I do wonder why called Amazing Fantasy #1000. I hope not just because gimmicky.

HAIKUPRAJNA - Amazing Fantasy Issue 1000 Comic Book Review
https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/2022...
Hello readers,
Amazing Fantasy issue 1000 spins nine individual stories from a variety of creative teams. I wanted to pick favorites and find something to gripe about, but the writing is solid throughout this celebratory milestone issue. Dan Slott's story choked me up, and the rest were sweet and showcased why Spider-Man's the best of the best.
Before digging deeper into the stories, will shout out the impressive job from the art and Virtual Calligraphy teams; Terry and Rachel Dodson are as awesome as always; Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer and Sonia Oback bringing Venom and Superior vibes; Olivier Coipel and Matthew Wilson brought charm to the Bugle and its employees; with everyone else that I am forgetting to mention, I believe anyone will find the work here enjoyable.
Ask anyone and they will say the best part about Spider-Man is how he never gives in and always does the right thing, despite the consequences, in the name of responsibility. Each of the nine one-shots displays a different type of conflict that Peter Parker is known for overcoming. Instead of pummeling Spidey with nine back to back enemies, readers get to see him cope with the loss of Gwen while saving others, to see him direct the wayward, and even get to see Spidey struggle to enjoy an ice cream. Fans are also treated with some cool original villain-vs-hero action scenes and the ole question "What does it mean to be Spider-man?"
Over the past sixty (60!) years, Marvel has been telling us that everyone can "be Spider-Man". All it takes is the solemn vow to use one's abilities, natural or otherwise, for the greater good. As much as some readers may complain of his relationships stagnating, Peter Parker has grown with his audience over the past six decades into a deep and relatable hero known the world-over.
(Picture: "Sinister 60th" from Amazing Fantasy 1000.)
Here are the stories in order of most enjoyed;
... Sinister 60th - Dan Slott
... Just Some Guy - Anthony Falcone and Michael Cho
... You Get It - Jonathan Hickman
... Slaves of the Witch-Queen - Kurt Busiek
... With Great Power... - Neil Gaiman
... Along Came a Rhino... - Mike Pasciullo
... Spider-Man VS. Conspiriton - Armando Iannucci
... The Kid's Got a Good Eye - Rainbow Rowell
... In The Flesh - Ho Che Anderson
Each story is top tier. Seeing Peter and MJ at sixty years old was fantastic; Spidey telling a grunt that they matter was superb; the Council of Spider-Man was amazing. The rest were just as spectacular, from the Amazing Fantasy 15 throwback to tributes to Steve Ditko and Mike Pasciullo.
Been a lifelong fan of the web-headed Avenger. April and I sleep next to a poster board of Goblin and Spidey from the first Raimi film and we collect figures (like Marvel Legends) and the trade paperbacks that we find. I always get excited when comics reach a milestone like this, it is especially exciting when one gets to live alongside the releases. Amazing Fantasy 1000 was a delightful treat for this Spider-Man fanboy; now to wait in anticipation for Amazing Spider-Man 950 and 1000!

September 4, 2022
Amazing Fantasy is a comic book anthology series published by Marvel Comics from 1961 through 1962. The title is best known for its fifteenth issue, which featured an eleven-page story about a boy who got powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider and learns to use those powers responsibility after going through a tragedy. That boy is Peter Parker and with his superhero alter-ego Spider-Man has left a massive impact for Marvel and comics in general for sixty years, and so the publisher has decided to celebrate the year with this oddly-numbered issue.
Unlike Action Comics and Detective Comics, there have never been a thousand issues of Amazing Fantasy, a book that was cancelled, revived and cancelled again. The numbering of this issue is for marketing purposes and as a way of celebrating the web-slinger's 60th anniversary. Like these particularly-numbered issues, Amazing Fantasy #1000 features a series of short stories by various writers and artists, celebrating Spider-Man in their own way.
The first story is co-written by Anthony Falcone and Michael Cho (the latter of which did the art), as it centres on a petty criminal who keeps getting apprehended by Spider-Man. Complaining why Spidey keeps stopping small fry and not focus on the cosmic disasters that have plagued the Marvel Universe, the superhero gives the criminal a taste of reality in how breaking the law can hurt somebody, something Peter knows all too well. Cho’s art evokes the aesthetics of Silver and Bronze age superhero comics, which applies well with this tale’s classical look.
The next story by Dan Slott and Jim Cheung, presenting a Spider-Man that is still going at the age of sixty, and whilst he still fights the likes of supervillains, he gets gunned down by a burglar, just like his Uncle Ben. Stunningly detailed by Jim Cheung, it is horrific seeing Spider-Man shot in the gut, lying in a pool of his own blood. However, Slott – being no stranger to the character – turns a story of initial horror into one of hope, with doctors doing their best to save him, whilst the rest of New York pays their respect to their hero.
The third story is written by Scottish satirist Armando Iannucci, collaborating with known Spidey artist Ryan Stegman, in which Peter faces a new villain “Conspiriton”, who induces through hallucinogens that alter people’s perceptions of the media and release a ton of conspiracy theories onto New York. Having directed a comic book movie, which was The Death of Stalin, Iannucci maintains his satirical edge in Marvel’s New York, where media can be easily manipulated and for J. Jonah Jameson to revel as an egomaniac. However, we are not done with the Daily Bugle as Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Coipel’s story showcases Peter’s photography, taking pictures that show a warm side of New York, rather than taking pictures of Spider-Man that will be used to ridicule him by JJJ.
The only story that didn’t feel as celebratory as the rest is “In the Flesh” by Ho Che Anderson by Giuseppe Camuncoli. With only eight pages, it was more like a psychological horror than a Spider-Man story until the very end, and it took a while for the story to get to its point. Fortunately, the positivity makes a quick return with Kurt Busiek, along with Terry and Rachel Dodson, present a sequel to a story that featured in Amazing Fantasy #15. “Slaves of the Witch-Queen" functions as a Spider-Man story and an Egyptian fantasy, allowing Busiek to embrace aspects of Silver Age superhero storytelling.
Jonathan Hickman has written Spider-Man on previous occasions, from the character appearing in his Fantastic Four run, to being a co-writer on Amazing Spider-Man: Full Circle. Being a writer who has always embraced big sci-fi concepts, Hickman uses the Spider-Verse as a way for the Peter Parker that we all know and question his own responsibility to wear the mask, resulting a funny conversation with other Spider-people, asking what life has done for them. As witty and poignant the writing, Marco Checchetto’s art is also a treat from not just the various Spider-Men but also the sci-fi design that looks like the Stargate with a heavy dose of webbing.
Certainly, what got the biggest buzz towards this issue was the involvement of Neil Gaiman, who has written for a number of Marvel titles, including 1602, which did feature Peter Parker. Instead of a traditional Spider-Man narrative, Gaiman gives his personal account of what Spider-Man meant to him, leading to the reality of him actually getting to meet co-creator Steve Ditko, which was documented in Jonathan Ross’ BBC documentary, In Search of Steve Ditko. While it is quite surprising seeing both Gaiman and Jonathan Ross to appear – drawn by Steve McNiven – Gaiman wonderfully writes himself as this awkward guy who has a fictional conversation with Spider-Man, who almost seems like a tired celebrity who has met dozens of fans, the final pages make that sense of fandom worth it.
During the production of Amazing Fantasy #1000, Mike Pasciullo passed away, known for rising through the ranks of Marvel in his twenty years at the company to be Senior Vice President of Marvel Television & Entertainment, Marketing & Publicity. Paying as a tribute to the man, the final five pages are a scene from Pasciullo’s Spider-Man miniseries that he pitched, in which Spidey trains a new hero under his belt. What all these stories show is that everyone has their own Spider-Man to tell, exploring the character in different ways or even making it personal. Happy 60th birthday, Spidey, keep on swinging!

As witty and poignant the writing, Marco Checchetto’s art is also a treat from not just the various Spider-Men but also the sci-fi design that looks like the Stargate with a heavy dose of webbing.
Certainly, what got the biggest buzz towards this issue was the involvement of Neil Gaiman, who has written for a number of Marvel titles, including 1602, which did feature Peter Parker. Instead of a traditional Spider-Man narrative, Gaiman gives his personal account of what Spider-Man meant to him, leading to the reality of him actually getting to meet co-creator Steve Ditko, which was documented in Jonathan Ross’ BBC documentary, In Search of Steve Ditko. While it is quite surprising seeing both Gaiman and Jonathan Ross to appear – drawn by Steve McNiven – Gaiman wonderfully writes himself as this awkward guy who has a fictional conversation with Spider-Man, who almost seems like a tired celebrity who has met dozens of fans, the final pages make that sense of fandom worth it.
During the production of Amazing Fantasy #1000, Mike Pasciullo passed away, known for rising through the ranks of Marvel in his twenty years at the company to be Senior Vice President of Marvel Television & Entertainment, Marketing & Publicity. Paying as a tribute to the man, the final five pages are a scene from Pasciullo’s Spider-Man miniseries that he pitched, in which Spidey trains a new hero under his belt. What all these stories show is that everyone has their own Spider-Man to tell, exploring the character in different ways or even making it personal. Happy 60th birthday, Spidey, keep on swinging!

This has Hickman’s Eisner nominated best short story, and it was alright. As a whole, like most anthologies, this is wildly swingy (heh, there are a lot of Spider-Man stories in it), and I wouldn’t say Hickman’s is the best story. But there’s also some really nothing ones. And some weird fourth wall breaking ones, which I personally tend to dislike. I get it! Comics are fun! But… they can be fun and also be well written and not just zany whatever stuff, and those are the ones I like.
Finding Batman in DC Pride 2022 won it though, and that honestly makes sense, it was better.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a decent-competent single issue out of a Spider-man series, ever since the fantastical event, ‘Back in Black’, was released almost 16 years ago. Considering how promising the 2012 Dan Slott series was, with a brand-new take on the character, ‘Superior Spider-man’ came close to be a worthy successor of the standard ‘Amazing’ series from before. Needless to say, its ultimate conclusion brought back the character on a stock hole once again, and ever since, the character has suffered from constant misuse of potential, and a lackluster deliverance of dully written stories, that pretty much have maintained the character in a state of perpetual monotony and conventionalism, leaving him on a tiresome and, quite frankly, exasperating status quo. With the publishing of this special “anniversary” issue of the long-lived ‘Amazing Fantasy’ series, several authors were gathered to present a few original takes on the character himself, in a celebration type of way, which consist on a list that includes names such as Neil Gaiman, Dan Slott, Jonathan Hickman, Michael Cho, along a fair variety of artist behind this project, some of them, already familiar with the ‘Spider-man’ titles.
With 9 short-stories, this roster manages to appeal to several points of view of some major writers in the business. In order, I’d say these are the ones I liked, from best to worst:
• “Sinister 60th” (written by Dan Slott, illustrated by Jim Cheung), easily the best in the lot, and the most emotional one; Spidey is celebrating his 60th anniversary, and now, an old Peter, and an old MJ, are anticipating their special birthday dinner, but an unfortunate turn of events will put Pete’s life at risk. Incredibly emotive and reflective over the true meaning of the responsibility by Spidey, and with strong nods to Raimi’s vision in ‘Spider-man 2’, when it comes to the focus. Also, Cheung’s art is highly pleasing to look at, despite not being the best in the issue. It is almost inconceivable that Slott wrote it.
• “With Great Power…” (written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Steve McNiven), is the most touching in the roster. Gaiman tales this as a sort of chronicle that also involves Steve Ditko, that goes way back to Gaiman’s childhood in a sort of statement of what the character means to him, which, by no one surprise, offers a beautifully displayed script. Perhaps McNiven has drawn better, but his pencils aren’t that bad, however, they work at recreating Ditko’s original design (such as Cheung did), as well as Gaiman himself. This is probably the story many will chose as their favorite from this.
• “You Get It” (written by Jonathan Hickman, illustrated by Marco Checchetto), the “Spider-verse” story of the lot, and to anyone’s surprise, Hickman writes it in order to approach a similar subject as ‘Sinister 60TH’ (but done way better in the second one), the idea is to find out if any other alternative versions of Pete also struggle in their day-by-days. It is both: funny and heartwarming, however, the real highlight of the segment comes from Checchetto’s pencils, which are amazing as always. Maybe a little too “out of nowhere”, since it never presents an actual reason why is Peter in this “multiverse” lobby, but it gets the job done in an enjoyable way. Makes me wonder, how much of a better idea ‘Spider-verse’ would’ve been in the hands of someone in the writing department, such as Hickman?
• "Along Came A Rhino" (written by the late Mike Pasciullo, illustrated by Todd Nauck), more like an unused pitch of a story that Pasciullo attempted to start, this is the last of the stories presented, and it is also a potentially fun one, since it kind of introduces a hero with similar qualities as Spidey, kind of hinting at a potential “master and apprentice” sort of situation that, unfortunately, it’ll never come to be. Nauck art is standard but serviceable, but what really makes this work is the idea of Spidey becoming a mentor figure for another hero.
• “Slaves of the Witch-Queen” (written by Kurt Busiek, illustrated by Terry Dodson), the funniest and most surprising entry of the issue; essentially a sequel to the short-story from the original 1962 ‘Amazing Fantasy #15’, which I won’t spoil because just realizing what it is gives it so much effectiveness to the reading, but yeah, it is pleasing and hilarious what they did in this one.
• “Just Some Guy” (written by Anthony Falcoe, illustrated by Micheal Cho), the opening story in the issue, and is the most simple one, but with a great heartful message in the end, that also manages to illustrate the way Spidey differentiates from other ‘Marvel’ heroes by proposing
why would Spider-man give a damn about a single thug while the world is being threatened by higher forces? And the answer, while short, is sufficient and to the point, it’ll be meaningful to any Spidey-fans.
• “Spider-Man vs. Conspiriton” (written by Armando Iannucci, illustrated by Ryan Stegman), Spidey versus a Scarecrow-kind-of villain, whose powers consist of giving people a gas that makes them see what they want to see, so eventually, conspiracy-folks will unleash chaos all over Manhattan. Another “funny” story that is mostly enjoyable thanks to Stegman’s art. It tries to be a sort of “critic” on social media and misinformation, but ultimately, is just an action-packed fun-ride, and that’s it.
• “In the Flesh” (written by Ho Che Anderson, and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli), the closer this issue gets to the horror theme, this is a story that I believe would’ve suited better for a different kind of hero, one closer to the psychological corners, and whose main point isn’t that clear, like ‘Moon Knight’, just to mention one. The art of Camuncoli does a great job at giving us that unsettling vibe that the main character in here emanates, but unfortunately, the idea is never really that well exploited, or developed. It is interesting, and is the one that feels the most detached from the rest of the roster, but there isn’t that much to it, compared to the previous ones.
• “The Kid’s Got a Good Eye” (written by Rainbow Rowell, illustrated by Oliver Coipel), for what I’ve heard, Ranbow Rowell has a certain fame of not being that good of a writer- being one mostly focused on YA novels-, and yeah, her story was definitely the weakest of the bunch, almost reaching “obnoxious” territories, having a story that places us on the days were Pete was dating Betty Brant, and it’s whole objective is to simply portrait a “day-by-day” in the life of Peter, without that much of an impact, in fact, she pretty much steals a small sequence from Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 2’, and she doesn’t even bother to do something memorable or meaningful with it. The only highlight in the story was Coipel’s pencils, which I adore seeing in anything Spidey-related, but in the end, is perhaps the only segment in the issue that I kind of disliked.
Issue 1000 of the emblematic ‘Amazing Fantasy’ is worth the acquisition; it delivers amazing takes on the true meaning of what Spider-man represents in both takes: his alter-ego, and his humane side. Except for the Rainbow Rowell segment, all of the material included here gives a variety of ideas and interpretations of the character that simply makes it a particularly enjoyable experience that manages to- almost- wash the bad taste recent regular Spidey series had left. Be sure also to look for variant covers, which includes one made by the amazing J. Scott Campbell (the best one, obviously), John Romita Jr., Steve McNiven, Joe Quesada, Taurin Clarke, and Peach Momoko. A great tribute, for the 60th anniversary of one of the most emblematic superheroes of all time.

☺️Ну, нарешті в мене дійшли руки написати відгук на цей мальопис, а то вже тижні з три просто ходив собі й обіцяв: "Ну, ось, зараз прийду й почну". І ніяк все часу не вистачало. Ну, що ж, перейдімо до огляду.
✍️Для незнаючих людей одразу поміточка. Уперше Людина-Павук з'явився в коміксі Дивовижна Фантазія №15. Цей випуск хоч і носить номер тисяча, але фактично він, якщо я правильно порахував, 44-ий, просто 1000 — це гарне кругле число, яке повинен мати комікс, випущений на честь 60-річчя павучка (А ще число 60 тут важливе, бо ДФ№15 вийшла в 1962 році).
🥰Сам комікс складається з 8 невеликих, але дуже класних історій + 1 бонусна. Пройдімося по порядку. Постараюсь мінімум спойлерів, аби ви самі ще мали змогу почитати.
1️⃣"Звичайний хлоп". Сюжетка про Павука і його старого друга-грабіжника. Гарна історія з чудовим малюноком.
8/10
2️⃣"Лиховісна 60-ка". Людині-Павуку 60 років, і він усе ще бореться зі злочинцями. Дуже чутлива історія, яка змушує пустити сльозу.
10/10
3️⃣"Людина-Павук проти Конспірітона". Історія в стилі класичних історій про Павучка. Але хотілося б зовсім трохи зробити цікавіший сюжет.
7/10
4️⃣"Управний малий". Історія про те, як Пітер вирішив зробити силу силенну фоток, але не Павука, а Нью-Йорка та його жителів. Найслабша історія, як на мене, зокрема через те, що я не розумію, яка саме фотка наприкінці історії😭.
6/10
5️⃣"Під шкірою". Тут розповідається про дівчину, яка має страх і галюцинації щодо павуків: вона думає, що вони лазять під її шкірою. Історія змусить засумувати, а потім відчути деяке полегшення.
8/10
6️⃣"Раби Королеви-Відьми". Пряме продовження історії з Дивовижної Фантазії №15. Хоч в оригінальній сюжетці не було павука, він тут доволі непогано вписався.
7/10
7️⃣"Шариш". Пітер зустрічається з іншими версіями себе з альтернативних усесвітів і хоче, аби вони допомогли йому розібратися з їхніми "спільними" проблемами. Доволі неочікувано історія має дуже гарний посил.
8/10
8️⃣"З великою силою...". Цю історію я ніяк не опишу двома словами. Її необхідно прочитати. Це те, що ми не просили, але те, що нам було потрібно.
9/10
9️⃣"Приповз Носоріг". Невеликий уривок з історії, сюжет до якої написав покійний Майк Пасіулло. А намалювали й розмалювали колеги як пам'ять про нього. Що сам факт включення цього уривку, що сам уривок вартий прочитання.
8.5/10
🧐Додатково: хоч я й згадав про це лише в першій історії, та насправді кожна з них без винятку має дивовижно класний малюнок.
Загальний бал: 79%

A spectacular collection of some of the best writers and artists coming together to celebrate the anniversary of one of the greatest characters of all time.
Each story is wonderful and touches on the key themes, and ideas, of what makes Spidey such an timeless character as well as how he affects those around him directly or indirectly, in his world or ours.
Simply beautiful across the board and a superb way to celebrate the past 60 years. Here's to the next 60! Excelsior!

Up there with Superman #400 as one of the best anniversary issues out there; with some great celebratory nostalgia stories and some that serve as compelling end paths to the character, which is what I think all good anniversaries should do.

A lot of really nice stories. And of course Neil put himself in his.

*4.5 stars*
My favorite was Michael Cho’s and Hickman’s. Cute and very fitting. Coipiel’s was good too. They gotta do this more often.

The best stories about spider-man are always the ones about being spider-man.

This is an incredible love letter to Spidey. I teared up twice while reading it. This book represents exactly why it is Spider-Man will always by my hero.

Fun. Also I loved the old Spider-man and his wife. Bring her back.

October 10, 2022An improbable selection of writers from Neil Gaiman to Armando Iannucci celebrate sixty years of Spider-Man, illustrated by a less surprising but still impressive set of artists including Steve McNiven, Terry Dodson, and Giuseppe Camuncoli. And yet the highlight of the lot, the one that plays the heartstrings like a master even for a reader like me who's not actually that into Spidey, is the one by Dan Slott. Dan Slott, who spent a decade writing the longest single Spidey run, and by the end of it, not so long ago, felt a lot like he was running on fumes. Dan Slott, who surely couldn't have another great Peter Parker story to tell already. Well, apparently he does, which I found at least as remarkable as any of Spider-Man's own amazing feats.
December 31, 2022
A solid anthology of Spider-Man stories. All of them are a step above usual superheroic hijinks. I really enjoyed "Sinister 60th" by Dan Slott and Jim Cheung, as well as "The Kid's Git An Eye" by Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Copiel.

This is such a cool tribute, a lot of the stories here are really charming and present in their own ways how special a character like Spider man is

Amazing Fantasy #1000 - це ювілейна збірка, випущена на честь 60-річчя з дня появи на сторінках коміксів Marvel одного з найпопулярніших супергероїв - Людини-Павука. Вона включає вісім зворушливих історій, над кожною з яких працювала окрема команда, що привнесла туди щось своє, глибоко особисте. Мені найбільше сподобалась перша історія "Звичайний хлоп" про дрібного грабіжника, який увесь час намагається когось обікрасти, поки супергерої зайняті більш глобальними загрозами, і якого увесь час ловить Павучок, та остання під назвою "З великою силою...". Про неї я нічого не можу сказати, щоб не зруйнувати її магію, але в мене у фіналі були повні очі сліз. Якщо ви сходили в кіно на нову стрічку про Людину-Павука і надихнулись прочитати якийсь мальопис про нього, зверніть увагу на цю збірочку. По-перше, вона сама по собі класна. По-друге, я побачила у фільмі відсилання на одну з цих історій і мінімум на два варіанти обкладинки цієї збірки. І по-третє, видавництво Varvar зараз дуже-дуже потребує підтримки читачів.

I need to have a flow-chart showing where Marvel came up with the issue count of 1000.
A bunch of short-stories that didn't do much for me. Michael Cho's was fine (good artwork). Neil Gaiman's was a predictable one... about how much he loved reading Spider-man when he was 8 months old or something. Similar to his tribute to Michael Moorcock.
I need some real story with some real stakes. It would have been nice for Marvel to have tied in this anniversary edition with a real shake-up. Sort of like what they did with the historic 300th issue.

No se de donde se sacaron el número 1000 pero estuvo bastante bien esta celebración a Spider Man.
Este cómic es un recopilatorio en el que participaron 8 equipos creativos con la tarea de crear 8 historias inéditas del personaje a manera de homenaje y apegando a la nostalgia en algunos momentos.
En general el cómic estuvo bien y creo que cumplió su objetivo aunque hubo historias que me gustaron más que otras.
The amazing fantasy 1000 es un volumen entretenido que cumple su función en celebrar a Spider Man aunque no considero que sea un número indispensable para el fan del arácnido...

A lovely tribute to one of the most beloved superheroes ever created. This book itself can be read by anyone–yes, even first timers–as it contains mini stories of Spider-Man and how special he is as a hero, each are masterfully written by various celebrated writers and drawn by various well-known artists.
Spider-Man has been part of my life since I was 4 years old, seeing that my admiration for the character is being celebrated as such makes it an easy 5 stars for me, for sure. I love every single page of it!

Some stellar short stories by some really good creative teams for Spidey's 60th anniversary. Standouts were the ones by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checcheto and Dan Slott and Jim Cheung. You're better off going into the Hickman story cold turkey. In the Slott story, Spider-Man is actually turning 60 and the story spirals out from there. Very nicely done.
