The Reign of Spider-Man

With the resurgence of the Dark Knight in the early '80s and the recently embracing of the X-Men, thanks to their breakthrough movie a few years back, Spider-Man is the only other major comic book character who has yet to receive the full big-movie treatment. Sorry Aquaman fans, the once-cleancut master of fish is just not quite ready for the silver screen.

Spider-Man the game, slated for shipment next Monday, April 15, and due in stores the next day, should be an excellent game. And the movie, from what we can see is also a motion picture feature that appears to have received good, serious treatment, and could very well garner the attention and love that X-Men did. We hope.

So, with all of the Spider-Man goodness coming your way, we'd thought it was time to share all of our Spider-Man coverage with you, free of Insider's trappings, free of pay, free for you to ponder...or not. Anyway, it's not locked up. So, take a gander at these features we've been writing, and see what we're so excited about.
