Dan (of superspidetalk.com) and I are up to our old tricks, running through what we think are the “essential” issues of Spider-Man comics. This time, I get the pick and I decided to go with a …. interesting choice. Marvel Two-In-One Annual #2 was written and illustrated by Jim Starlin and is best known for being one of the most famous battles ever fought between the Avengers and Thanos. But Spider-Man also plays a key part and with Spidey now being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I believed this story is a must read for people who want a sense of how the Wall Crawler might be used in that context:

I agree with this choice, maybe not as essential to Spiderman, but a very astute choice none the less. It highlights Starlin’s best work in Marvel cosmic, then sets the base for the second phase of Marvel cosmic in the 90s with the Infinisty Gauntlet.
I am a TPB guy, I so you can find this in the new Warlock TPB that was recently released. If you enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy – this is THE place to see where the good stuff started. Throwing Spidey in the mix just made it more fun.
