From the Vietnam War to Secret Wars and Civil War, all the way through to what just might be a 72-year-old Spider-Man's final mission, prepare to watch Peter Parker age through 57 years of groundbreaking history - and find out what happens to him and those he loves the most!

Ratings and reviews

Top-shelf artwork. Great worldbuilding concept. Felt a little flat though, like each book should have had several issues to flesh out the drama a little more. But other than feeling rushed, the idea of real-time aging across the classic comics is intriguing. And Zdarsky knew both what to avoid, and how to give us what we want with Peter's love life.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. If you are a Spider-Man fan and you haven't read this, I don't know what you are doing with your life. Consistently excellent from start to finish. Wonderful tribute to spiderman and Stan!

Truly excelsior. An ultimate recap of his retold stories with twists and turns plus mindblowing plots. Love it. Worth it. Won't give any spoilers, go buy it, True Believers! (^_^)
