Spider-Man: Homecoming combines ideas from more than one period of the comics, so its source material is better read as a group than as one direct adaptation. Start with The Amazing Spider-Man #2, then compare it with Ultimate Spider-Man #1–13 and Amazing Spider-Man #271. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
