☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection brings together a pivotal stretch of J. Michael Straczynski's celebrated run on Amazing Spider-Man, pitting Peter Parker against a gauntlet of mystical and street-level threats. The volume features the introduction of Ezekiel Sims and the totemic Spider-Man mythos, as well as clashes with Morlun, Shathra, and the Green Goblin, while weaving in the fallout of Peter and Mary Jane's relationship. Collecting issues from the early 2000s, it captures Spider-Man navigating personal loss and cosmic danger in New York City.
In "Chasing a Dark Shadow," Peter Parker finds himself pulled into a dangerous web when his former classmate Charlie Weiderman seeks his help with a risky experiment—only to go ahead with it using Peter’s name and Tony Stark’s funding. The fallout is immediate and devastating, leaving Peter grappling with guilt and the chilling realization that his past choices may have set something far worse in motion. Written by J. Michael Straczynski and illustrated by Mike Deodato with dynamic art by Mark Brooks, this gripping tale is a standout in the JMS Ultimate Collection, with covers by Mike Deodato Jr. and Brian Haberlin.
When Peter Parker is approached by Charlie Weiderman, a former classmate with a risky scientific project, he declines to get involved—only to later discover Charlie used his name to secure funding from Tony Stark. The experiment spirals out of control, resulting in tragedy, and Peter is left grappling with the consequences of a decision he didn’t make.
In "Skin Deep Part Two," Peter Parker faces a desperate plea from Charlie, whose life is now entwined with the strange vibranium from a failed experiment. As old wounds and secrets surface, Peter must decide how far he’ll go to help someone he once trusted.
In "Skin Deep Part Three," Charlie struggles to free himself from the clinging vibranium suit that’s overtaking him, desperate to enlist Peter Parker’s help. When Spider-Man arrives instead—uninvited and ready to fight—Charlie’s suspicion turns to rage, convinced Peter betrayed him, and he storms toward Aunt May’s house with vengeance on his mind.
In "Skin Deep Part Four," Spider-Man faces off against Charlie in a high-stakes showdown that ends with the hero trapping Charlie inside his own vibranium skin suit. Back at home, Aunt May and Mary Jane return to find the house destroyed—leaving them stunned and facing a mystery that’s only just begun.
