1. The Return Of The Sinister Six - The Amazing Spider-Man #337

Mysterio was a founding member of the Sinister Six, and with it being only a matter of time until that group makes the leap to the big screen, it makes sense to brush up on their history before Far From Home releases this summer.

There are plenty of Sinister Six stories worth reading, but perhaps the best is 1990's The Return of the Sinister Six, which featured a villainous team comprised of Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Sandman, Electro, Hobgoblin and of course Mysterio too. The comic was later adapted into a video game by -*shudders* - LJN, but the best and only way to experience it is to read the original issues.

So far Far From Home has four potential members to form an onscreen Sinister Six in Michael Keaton's Vulture, Michael Mando's Scorpion, Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio and Numan Acar's Chameleon, but more could be on the way. Chameleon is related to Kraven the Hunter in the comics, and where one brother goes the other is soon to follow.

Factor in the inevitable inclusion of Norman Osborn in the future, and Spidey fans could yet see the Sinister Six on the big screen a lot sooner than they think. Here's hoping that when they come, the story will be as good as this one.
