Guest Report post Posted June 16, 2002 My brother bought the first five Essential Spider-Man books and I've been hooked on them, I just finished the first and I'm starting on the second, these books are awesome, I'm getting ready to buy The Essential Hulk.

Guest starvenger Report post Posted June 16, 2002 Yeah, I've got the first essential. Seems kinda wrong to say this, but they make great bathroom readers. I gotta say, though, that the first Essential Avengers didn't do anything for me. Can't really explain why, but it just didn't capture my fancy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My essential is amazing 158, no one fucks with cosmic baby The "Essential" is a compilation of old Marvel comics put into a hardcover novel-sized paperback. The thing here is that it's printed in black and white - but it's cheaper than your average TPB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest starvenger Report post Posted June 17, 2002 That may be true, but if you have some of the early Lee/Ditko stuff, do you really want to take it out of the mylar and read it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
