Close to Spider Man marks the debut of an exciting new literary talent: a collection of connected stories whose female narrators seek out lives for themselves amidst the lonely, breathtaking landscape of the Yukon. The young women in Ivan Coyote's deeply personal stories are looking to make a break from their circumstances, but the North is in their bones: so is their connections to family, friends, and other women. Like the protagonist in the title story, a waitress whose attempts to help a young co-worker saddled with a lunatic father finds her running across rooftops and climbing ladders; by getting close to Spider Man, she gets closer to freedom. Startling in their intimacy, the stories in Close to Spider Man make up a moving scrapbook of what it's like to be a young queer woman in the North, journeys imbued with the colours of a prescient sexuality and an honest heart. Runner-up, Danuta Gleed Award for Short-Fiction

Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #57-58, 500-502. Peter spends his birthday as Spidey fighting an inter-dimensional threat that's descended on Manhattan. Alongside a who's who of Marvel Universe guest-stars - including the FF, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men's Cyclops and Dr. Strange, the battle culminates in a trip through time, where Peter/Spider-Man meets ALL of his greatest adversaries like Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin, and one very special and unexpected reunion!

When Doctor Octopus is released from jail for good behavior, Spider-Man knows something must be up. He can't believe the eight-armed menace is going straight, despite Doc Ock's vow to focus on traditional science rather than on the world-destroying kind. But with Hydra crashing Ock's first day as a free man and S.H.I.E.L.D. sniffing around Doc's new lab, Peter Parker decides it's time to dig deeper. It's only after taking a job as Octavius's assistant that Parker learns the secret that is driving Ock's research, and the reason why every agency in town is after it. With Ock caught between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., battling for his technology, Spider-Man leaps to help his old nemesis-only to see public sentiment swing against him. Now on the outs with both the good guys and the bad, Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus must learn the value of keeping their friends close, and their enemies closer. Marvel fans will be thrilled from the beginning to the end of this action-packed adventure from Marvel.com writer Jim Beard.
