So popular, in fact, to celebrate the release of the DVD -- Dynamic Forces President Nick Barrucci will be featuring a web full of Spider-Man product on HSN Friday, November 1! Look for the shows at 1 AM ET (that’s 10 PM Halloween night west coasters!) and 10PM.

The film is just the beginning of the remarkable elements contained on the new DVD. The commentary track with director Sam Raimi ("Evil Dead"), Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane Watson), producer Lauren Ziskin and co-producer Grant Curtis is funny, insightful and a great addition for fans who’ve already seen the film a few times and now want to hear what the people who made "Spider-Man" have to say about the process.

But even better than listening to a commentary is making your own, and thanks to Sony, now you can! If you have a DVD-Rom drive on your computer, you and your friends can actually record your own commentary to go with "Spider-Man" and then play it back for anyone insane enough to want to listen to it. Hands down, this is the greatest DVD function for movie fans since DVD virtual porn (and we all know how popular that is!)

There’s literally something for everyone on the two-disc set. For hardcore comic book fans, there’s even a "Comic Book Artists Pin-Up" section on the DVD with comic book greats such as 100 Bullets cover artist Dave Johnson, Mike Allred (X-Statix), John Cassaday (Captain America), David Mack (Kabuki), Jae Lee (Inhumans), Alex Maleev (Daredevil) and many more contributing. There’s also an added documentary entitled "Spider-Man: The Mythology of the 21st Century," which includes interviews with Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, Spider-Man editor Axel Alonso and many other creators who’ve been influential in Spider-Man’s growth over the last 40 years.

Overall, the DVD would have been a must-buy for any comic book fanboy, but with all the extras on this badboy, you’re a fool if you don’t run out and get one ASAP. Still not enough for you? Well, Sony was thinking of that. Even in Hollywood, the power of the fanboy is known and respected, so the studio’s also doing a special edition collector’s gift set that’ll have comic book-craving hot shots beating each other bloody for a copy.

Overall, both "Spider-Man" DVDs get props for packing so much info that fans will have a tough time getting through everything they want to see. Deciding between the commentary tracks, Easter egg featurettes of early CGI animations and audition tapes by "Spider-Man" star Tobey Maguire won’t be easy. But rest assured—it’ll be hard to find a superhero DVD better than these sets anytime soon. But then, that’s not stopping "X-Men" and "X-Men 2" director Bryan Singer from trying.

With "X-Men 2" hitting theaters May 3, 2003, Singer and company have produced a new DVD of the original "X-Men" film—which ignited the comic movie trend and paved the way for "Spider-Man"—titled "X-Men 1.5 Collector’s Edition."

While there’s still no inclusion of the director’s cut of the film that fans have been begging for, the new Collector’s Edition does boast some amazing features for fans.

Disc one of the two-disc set features a new introduction by Singer, 24 amazing deleted scenes and a long-awaited audio commentary track by Singer, Patrick Stewart (Professor Xavier), Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine).

Available Feb. 11 for $26.95, the set’s second disc contains another introduction by Singer, the featurettes "The Making Of X-Men: Part 1 (Origin Of The X-Men)", "Part 2 (The Uncanny Suspects)", "Part 3 (X-Factor)", "Part 4 (Shooting X-Men)" and "Part 5 (Remembering The X-Men)," and a bundle of promotional items including three trailers, 13 TV spots, an "X-Men 2" teaser trailer and a short "Behind the Scenes of X-Men 2" special.

Trying to decide which of these two DVDs to buy might be tough for fans, but if you want a little advice on which to pick up, I think it’s pretty clear. Buy ’em both and save yourself the heartache. They’re both well worth the investment.
