J. Michael Straczynski takes on Amazing Spider-Man and a new era unfolds as he kicks off his run with a story that will forever change the way Peter Parker looks at himself—and his ever-amazing alter ego! JMS took over the writing for Amazing Spider-Man starting with issue #30 (or issue #471 for those keeping track at home). It is one of the hotest comic series out there so don't miss out!

As far as we can tell, Marvel does not do special covers or anything like that. What they have done for Amazing Spider-Man is combine some of the issues JMS has written into mini collected edtions with other Marvel titles or trade paperback editions with just the Amazing line. This is probably because this title is selling out almost as fast as they release them.

NOTE: Trade paperbacks are listed by type then by publication date from oldest to newest.

#30-32: ASM Collected Edition Author: J. Michael Straczynski -- Published: Jul 2001 -- Format: Single Comic

DESCRIPTION: This edition reprints issues #30 through #32. MONICA'S REVIEW: I think Marvel released this collection because of the high demand for the early issues that had sold out. I don't know if I looked for this too late because it too was hard to find. I merely wanted it to collect since I had the single issues already. There is nothing new in this fat issue so unless you want it to complete your collection, skip it and buy the trade paperback that collects issues #30-35 (see below).

DESCRIPTION: This edition reprints issues #30 through #35. MONICA'S REVIEW: Nothing much to say about this yet since I have yet to go out and get it. I am pretty sure that even though Amazon.com® has the title of this TPB as "Transformations", they really mean this one. Perhaps it was only a working title? Anyway, they share the same ISBN number so it is logical to assume that these TPBs are one and the same. RELATED PRODUCTS: There is another page that collects all the JMS trade paperbacks in the J.
