In Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon, award-winning author Ying Chang Compestine reimagines the classic fairy tale from a Chinese perspective, filled with action and humor--with stunning color illustrations by Joy Ang.By now, you have probably heard the old folk tale about a girl in a red cape.
The truth is that the story took place here in China, there wasn't a woodsman, and I, the gentle wolf, certainly was not the one who ate them.
Here is the real story.
This is not the story you think you know. In this version of the classic fairy tale, Little Red lives in a village near the Great Wall and trains in kung fu. When she ventures to her grandmother's to deliver rice cakes and herbal medicine, she encounters something much more fearsome than a wolf--a mighty dragon. With her wits and a sword in hand, Little Red must valiantly defend herself and her grandmother in this vibrant retelling.
An author's note discusses how this reimagining is influenced by Chinese mythology, symbolism, traditional medicine, and other elements of Compestine's heritage.
Compestine, Ying Chang

Acts of Vengeance
Format: Kindle
This is one of my favorite storylines and one of my first experiences reading Spidey. Lots of silly nostalgic fun. Seriously, I really enjoyed the villain cross-overs.

A redundant, but improved, collection of Spider-Man's cosmic arc.
Format: Paperback
I've put off getting this volume because many of the stories have been printed elsewhere, particularly the McFarlane work. Plus, there was already a trade paperback of the Cosmic Spider-Man arc...
But this volume is a worthwhile replacement for those.
Ignoring the Cosmic material, which is generally really enjoyable, there are a few other stories collected here. There's a two-issue story of Spider-Man teaming up with the Punisher. Then there's a short two-issue story of Spider-Man against Venom. After that... three annuals, covering Spidey's Totally Tiny Adventure. It's a pretty silly story that guest stars Ant-Man for the first issue. This story is unusual, since it feels like the kind of story I would expect Marvel to publish in the late 60s or 70s. Artwork in annuals usually seems a little sub-par, but it's nice to see these stories reprinted.
Even better - the supplemental stories from the annuals are reprinted! We get solo stories for Solo, Sandman, Ant-Man, Prowler, Rocket Racer...
I was pleased to find that the Rocket Racer story ties into the Scourge storyline from Captain America!
There are other bonus pages, reprinting artwork, introductions from other collections, etc. They even include some of the Spider-Man trading cards from the old Marvel Universe cards!
I'd also like to take the opportunity to point out how much I enjoy Erik Larsen's artwork on Spider-Man. He brought his own flavor to Peter and Mary Jane. Supporting cast characters are well-defined. He has a lot of fun with background characters or people who get one or two lines. I read these comics when they first came out, and these reprints are far more enjoyable. The coloring is well matched up, the paper is great, and everything is lined up perfectly.

Really good read and a great chapter in Spidey's legacy
Format: Paperback
Really good read and a great chapter in Spidey's legacy. i originally read tge Amazing Spiderman issues of this collection (minus the annual) in the Amazing Spiderman Omnibus by David Micheline and Todd McFarlane, so i had an idea of what the story was but i didnt know tge full story. The overall story is great and I found it really enjoyable because its such a cohesive story even thoigh it spans across three different spiderman titles. The artwork is on point too and is well done. What made me like this book was the constant action, with spiderman facing off against villain after villain ( Graviton, Magneto, Goliath, etc) and also the deeper story in which Peter has to deal with his new powers. The story more so delves further into the idea of "with great power comes great responsibility". If you like Spiderman, then this is one book you need to.have in your collection.
