Spider-Man‘s black costume cements its place as the Spidey costume over the course of 1986 and ’87 when the Web-Slinger ditches the red & blue permanently! Well… until our next installment, anyway!
But this moment is actually one of the least important storylines from this character-defining time period. Expect to see the death of Jean DeWolff, the unmasking of the Hobgoblin, an all-out gang war, a tense clash with Wolverine, a horrifying final clash with Kraven the Hunter and the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson! And don’t miss Spider-Man’s first interaction with Warlock of the New Mutants and his intense run-in with Iron Man 2020…
Key characters introduced to Spider-Man’s world include the Chance, the Foreigner, the second Hobgoblin, Humbug, the second Scourge of the Underworld, Sin-Eater, the Sinister Syndicate and a snifter of Solo!
Return to our CHARACTER READING ORDER INDEX for more chronological guides!
Chronology: All appearances of Marvel Universe characters from this period are included in chronological order, laying out their timeline rather than just the order the issues were released.
Must Reads: Story arcs in bold in the Core List or marked with a ✔ in the Full Reading Order are must-read stories from this time period, along with any key related stories and often-forgotten tales that are worth a look.
Anthology Issues: When an issue contains multiple stories, the relevant story is denoted with square brackets. For example, [2/5] refers to the second story of the five stories in that issue, so you don’t need to read the other four.
Collected Editions: See characters’ own individual reading orders for guides to collected editions; covering collected editions in Marvel Universe entries would make them too long.
Spoilers: The issue/story overviews may include spoilers, so be warned!
