Yo!
I recently signed up for marvel unlimited to start reading about my favorite superhero spiderman. I really love the app. The question i have for you guys is; can you tell me or redirect me to a reading order? I've done some google research but i'm still confused. I have started reading "the amazing spiderman (1963)" since that is the first series. But when should i start reading things like civil war etc? And after im done with this spiderman series, wich one should i read next? I read the annuals in the order they are published with amazing series atleastAnd i know this might be far in the future since i recently started with amazing. But i am still curious.
Regards
Mosmorgan

Well, I will provide you with a chronology of all things Spider Man but I would recommend you keep reading the main series from number one until you reach the first satellite titles like Spectacular Spider Man and Web of Spider Man. Civil War will not become apparent until the 500's. I would recommend you steer clear of the Howard Mackie era as its a really bad Spider Man run. Wikipedia can help you in regards to the runs of different writers and artists.

Satellite series are like sister titles that run concurrently with the main ASM book. When ASM was hitting its 100's, the sister book Spectacular Spider Man launched as did Web of Spider Man and ran alongside ASM. Basically readers could get up to three spider man titles in one month.

The original Secret Wars is a must-read as it introduces the alien symbiote that leads to the genesis of Venom Originally Posted by Mosmorgan
