He is far from being the most ludicrous antagonist in this series just wait for issue #302 for that. It's a little motivation that keeps him from being just another green-and-darker-green costume wearing fool with flying boots. Instead, he bets with his employers on whether he can get the job done or not. Chase likes the thrill of the gamble, so he doesn't take a straight payday for the jobs he does. The concept of this Chance character is one of those goofy little twists on the old standard mercenary character, but series scribe David Michelinie plays it well.

Also, Peter has issues with bringing in less money than his new wife, super-model Mary Jane. The gambling mercenary Chance gets involved in a weapon heist that gives Peter Parker a crisis of conscience. 'THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN' #298: 'CHANCE ENCOUNTER!' Set your time machines for the beginning of 1988. (Wait, he also did 75 issues of 'Spawn'!) I'm not quite that ambitious, so I think sticking to these couple dozen issues or so will be enough. Wanting to do something special to celebrate, I struck upon the concept of 'The McSpidey Chronicles,' inspired no doubt by the kind of work Tim Callahan has done in recent years with, for one example, the output of Alan Moore, or maybe Not Blog X's thorough chronicling of 90s X-Men or Spider-Man comics. I will have been a comics reader continuously since the day I picked up that comic. What this all means is that I'm coming up on my 25th comics anniversary. If you have any information on the actual release date, please drop me a line. Marvel's Wiki, the Grand Comic Database, and ComicBookDB all list the issue only by its cover date, not the release date. It seems to me that the latest this issue might have arrived on newsstands, then, is early June.īy the time I get to that issue in this series, perhaps I'll have found an answer. 'Amazing Spider-Man' started that run with the following issue. And Marvel usually went bi-weekly with their major titles in June, July, and August. I picked up my copy of the issue at a newsstand, which means it likely came out a week or two after the Direct Market had it. The cover date on it is August 1989 and I know these comics always showed a date a couple of months in advance. As close as I can tell, Marvel released that issue in June of 1989. The first comic I bought that started me on the weekly comics reading grind was 'The Amazing Spider-Man' #318. They are, in a way, the start of my comics life. I love so many of those issues, even if it's not always for perhaps the purest of high comics art reasons. I love having that run of comics in one handy place. 'The Amazing Spider-Man by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane Omnibus' has been calling out to me from the bookshelf for a long time, now.
