Amazing Spider-Man #319—aptly titled “The Scorpion’s Tail of Woe”—is a wild ride where our boy Peter Parker takes on the Scorpion, Justin Hammer’s goon squad, and enough mercenaries to make a blockbuster movie jealous. Written by David Michelinie and penciled by the legendary Todd McFarlane (before he went full Venom-crazy), this issue is peak Spidey action with a side of late ‘80s flair.
Highlights That’ll Stick to Your Wall Like Webbing:
-
Key Character Appearances: The Scorpion (Mac Gargan) is back, meaner and greener than ever, flexing his tail-whipping skills like he’s auditioning for a monster truck rally. Justin Hammer’s throwing cash at mercenaries faster than a billionaire at a tax write-off party. Plus, cameo peeks at Mary Jane Watson (redhead goals), Harry Osborn, and Liz Osborn—because Spidey’s life isn’t complete without some soap opera vibes.
-
Plot That Packs a Punch: Near the site of the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, Spidey’s dodging more hired goons than a politician dodges questions. It’s a multi-faceted free-for-all that proves Peter’s got more enemies than your average Monday morning inbox.
-
McFarlane Magic: Todd’s art is so slick, you’ll want to frame it—those dynamic poses and brooding shadows are basically the Spider-Man equivalent of a power ballad.
Current Value: Cash That’d Make J. Jonah Jameson Grumble
As of April 2025, this bad boy’s slinging around $20-$40 in VG/FN condition (think “well-loved but not falling apart”). Higher grades like VF/NM? You’re looking at $50-$80, depending on how crisp those pages are. A CGC 9.8 slabbed beauty recently fetched upwards of $150-$200 on the market—proof that collectors are sticking to this issue like Spidey to a skyscraper. (Values based on recent online sales trends—because I’m not pulling numbers out of my web-shooter!)
Expected Value: Trends That’ll Swing Higher Than Spidey Himself
Here’s the scoop: with Todd McFarlane’s name hotter than a New York summer, anything he touched in the late ‘80s is trending upward. Add in the Scorpion’s recurring villain status (he’s popped up in games and animated series lately), and you’ve got a sleeper hit. Upcoming events? Rumors are swirling about a Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel dropping in 2026, and if Mac Gargan’s tail makes a big-screen cameo, expect this issue to climb faster than Peter up the Empire State Building. Mid-term, we’re talking $80-$120 for NM copies in a year or two, with slabs potentially hitting $250+ if Hollywood gives Scorpion some love. Long shot? A pristine copy could be a $300+ flex by 2030 if the Spidey hype train keeps rolling.
Why You Need This Comic, True Believer!
This isn’t just a comic—it’s a ticket to 1989, when Spidey was dodging tail-whips and bad haircuts with equal finesse. Whether you’re a collector chasing McFarlane’s early genius, a Scorpion stan, or just someone who loves a good ol’ superhero slugfest, ASM #319 is your web-line to glory. Snag it now before the price swings out of reach—or before J. Jonah demands photos of it for the Daily Bugle!
