May is officially awesome month for Marvel movies. From "X2" in '03 and "Spider-Man 3" in '07 to 2008's "Iron Man," there's no doubt that Marvel and May make a solid team. And now we can chalk another surefire success to the list when "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" slashes its way into theaters May 1, 2009!
Reprising his role as Wolverine from the "X-Men" movies, Hugh Jackman stars in the blockbuster which, according to VARIETY, could feature a young William Stryker, Sabretooth, Weapon X and a bevy of other mutants—both returning and new characters.
Additional cast members haven't been announced yet, but joining Jackman are director Gavin Hood ("Tsotsi") and writer David Benioff ("The Kite Runner"). With filming tentatively scheduled to begin by the end of 2007, look for more "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" news and announcements here on Marvel.com.

A "Brand New Day" kicked off for Peter Parker this week in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #546, as writer Dan Slott and artist Steve McNiven began Spider-Man's revitalized thrice-monthly adventures with a bang.
However, while tomorrow looks bright, there's no time like the present to remember the past.
We gathered a bevy of Spidey alumni, creative and editorial, to share their favorite stories from the Webhead's illustrious first 40+ years.
It's Friday, so kick back, relax and enjoy.

first in and of itself—the most Superman ever fought at once was three, and they were all either fat and/or bald—not only does it have J. Jonah Jameson—my favorite Marvel character—at his Jonahest, but it has those six gorgeous full-page Steve Ditko panels, one for every villain Spidey trounces.
AXEL ALONSO (Marvel Executive Editor, former Spider-Man editor): My personal favorite Spider-Man story would have to be AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #113-#115, by Gerry Conway and John Romita. It's one of the first complete comic arcs that I read as a kid, and it blew me away.

The story had everything: Super heroes, family drama, and gangster —and I was really into gangsters. Back in those days, you got to the five and dime the same day that week's comics arrived, or you went home empty-handed. I traded, like, six issues of Batman with a friend, for his dog-eared copy of "My Uncle, My Enemy," and I still don't regret it.

RALPH MACCHIO (Marvel Executive Editor, former Spider-Man editor): I have to say, it's really difficult picking a favorite Spidey story. If I had to choose, I guess I'd pick "The Man in the Crime Master's Mask" [from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN v1 #26] because I always loved Spidey's interaction with the criminal underworld in the Marvel Universe even more than his fights with super villains. And this one, in particular, written by Stan and drawn by Ditko was top notch in every way. And I still recall how shocked I was when he was unmasked and it was—ahh, that would be telling. Go back and read the story. You'll love it!
DAVID LAPHAM (writer of SPIDER-MAN: GREAT RESPONSIBILITY): As soon as this question was posed to me the first Spidey comic that popped into my head was AIM TOOTHPASTE: SPIDER-MAN VS GREEN GOBLIN. Huh? Whazzaheckisthat, you say? Well, this was a special give-a-way comic I remember getting in the supermarket when I was [10]. This was in the days before cramped, filthy, dust

It was the coolest, greatest comic ever. It was, like 800 pages and the art was the greatest ever and the Green Goblin looked so cool and he flew around on his glider and had all these death gadgets and the story was soooo suspenseful and I thought Spider-Man was going to die about five times, and there was probably some toothpaste that came along with it, but I don't remember that. I still have that comic, in the garage, in a comic box, under [150,000] pounds of other junk, so I refuse to go dig it out right now and confirm what a true piece of genius this comic was, so you'll all just have to take my [28-years]-aged-Alzheimer's-encrusted-memory-informed word on it.
J.M. DEMATTEIS (former writer of SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN): [AMAZING SPIDER-MAN v1 #39-40]—what I remember most vividly is the cover [of #39]: the

As with all great comic book covers, this one fired my imagination. I didn't even have to read the story: that one picture alone suggested dozens of wonderful tales. When I finally did read it, along with its conclusion the following month, the story exceeded all the expectations of my young imagination. The writing, the art...even the sound effects...were wildly different from what I was used to in the pages of Superman, Batman and the Justice League. I think it's impossible for a young reader of today to conceive of just how different the Marvels of the sixties were from everything that had come before.
Even now, all these years later, when I look back at Spidey's desperate fight to the finish with the Goblin, I can feel that 12-year

TODD NAUCK (former artist of FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN): One of my favorite Spider-man stories is " The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" by [writer] Roger Stern in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #248. Spidey comes to visit a young fan who is dying of leukemia. It was a touching story and a great way of retelling Spidey's origin. I read this story when I was a teen who mostly read comics for big fight scenes. But this issue was able to push through all the flash and move me. Great story!
PETER DAVID (former writer of SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN): It always has been, and remains [AMAZING SPIDER-MAN v1 #33], the conclusion to the Master Planner story. Talk about your quintessential "save Aunt May" story. All the metaphysical angst of deals with Mephisto [pales] in comparison to the pure human drama of a trapped Spider-Man giving himself a running pep talk as he strives to shove the imprisoning ton of

GERRY CONWAY (former writer of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN): My all-time favorite Spider-Man story is actually a sequence of stories, the Master Planner series. For me, this is where the whole anguished, misunderstood hero trying to do the right thing against impossible odds, finally came together in one epic, iconic story.
The climactic scene in which Spider-Man triumphs, not against a villain, but against his own despair—lifting a ton of metal and throwing it off, like Atlas heaving the world from his shoulders—the greatest single moment of heroism in the entire history of our favorite neighborhood wall-crawler.
TOM BREVOORT (Marvel Executive Editor): I've got three Spider-Man stories I can point to, although there are many more I love.
The first is the acknowledged classic, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #31-33, the one in which Aunt May is dying because of a blood transfusion she got of Pete's radioactive blood, and Spidey needs to retrieve a healing serum that was stolen by Doctor Octopus. This is the classic tale in which Spidey lifts the big machine off his back

Then there's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #87, from deep in the heart of the Stan/John Romita days. This is the story in which Pete comes down with the flu, thinks he's losing his powers, then goes to his entire supporting cast and reveals to them that he's Spider-Man. When the dope finally realizes he's just sick, he needs to rope in the Prowler to dress up as Spider-Man and act out a little scene with him to throw his friends and family off the trail. It's a ridiculous story on the face of it, but the humanity of the character really comes through. It's also got the classic sequence were Spidey, dopey from his illness, comes within an inch of breaking into a jewelry store to steal a birthday present for Gwen Stacy before he comes to his senses.
