It’s Spider-Man: Homecoming week which can only mean it’s time for outrageous discounts on Spider-Man comics.
Navigating modern Spider-Man comic books can be surprisingly confusing, so I’ve compiled a list of the best deals in chronological order below. These savings (between 40 to 70% off select Spidey collections) extend to digital editions on Amazon or Comixology.
Note that with all things Spider-Man, approximately 100% of these comics are also available on Marvel Unlimited. The digital Kindle or Comixology reading experience is generally better (you’re less reliant on Marvel’s occasionally buggy tech), but Marvel Unlimited is definitely the more cost-effective maneuver. To each their own!
I’ll also note below the best starting places for Spidey comics with new header sections, so you don’t wind up smack dab in the middle of a long-running story arc.

Just came back from Spiderman: Homecoming and was looking for something just like this. Perfect timing! Does this breakdown include the JMS run of Amazing Spider-man? I’ve heard it’s pretty good.
Hey Josh,
The breakdown unfortunately does not cover JMS’ run because I think it’s meant to fast track readers and the list skims quite a lot of good Spidey stories including the JMS run. If you’d like to read his run, you should start at Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #30 (Vol. 2 starts in 1999 btw) which finishes at Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #58 then continues at Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 #500 (Vol. 1 continues again in 2003) going through Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 #543. The run is all collected in volumes in Amazing Spider-Man Ultimate Collection by JMS which you can find a link to here: https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Spider-Man-Ultimate-Collection-Book/dp/0785138935
Hopefully this was helpful and not so confusing, happy reading!
