Spider-Man: The Lost Years

Oh man, this one is… damn, this just hits different, you know? The Lost Years is one of those. It’s not like the big, flashy Spider-Man fights or city-destroying villains. Nah, this one is quieter, smaller, but somehow… heavier. It’s like you finally get to see Peter Parker not swinging around, not cracking jokes, but…

Spider-Man: Death of the Stacys

Some comic book moments aren’t just memorable, I mean… they redefine everything. The Night Gwen Stacy Died and The Death of Captain Stacy are two of those moments. They didn’t just change Peter Parker’s life; they changed comics forever. These weren’t just superhero stories. They were tragedies, reminders that being Spider-Man wasn’t just about web-slinging…

Across the Spider-Verse

Into the Spider-Verse was a great story and a fantastic adventure. I was excited when they said there would be another movie, and it was worth the wait. Across the Spider-Verse is finally here, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has done a lot of things that have never been done before, from the intricacy of the world-building to the range of characters and types of stories.

Here’s what we know so far about superhero movies coming out in 2021:

Spider-Man: Far From Home

  One of the things I love about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the interconnectedness of it all. While you can watch each movie on its own (except for probably Infinity War and Endgame), it’s so much richer as a story and experience if you follow them all.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

I’ve been reading comics since the mid 1980’s, and watching the movies and tv shows as they come along. Let’s just say I’ve seen a lot of them, and enjoyed most of them. All that said, and admitting I had a few reservations going in, I’m going to say Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse might be the best Spider-Man movie I’ve seen,
