A surprisingly good collection that's only published because of a very bad movie.

Mostly because it contains the classic 80s Spidey vs Juggernaut story illustrated by John Romita Jr. There's also the awkward first appearance of Madame Web, and some 2010 stories written by Dan Slott who is good.

So don't judge by the stupid movie, enjoy this little Marvel-verse book with some fun old Spider-Mans!

Pretty good book, featuring 3 classic stories of Spidey. The first of which is the first ever appearance of Madame Web. The second and third are the next appearances of her, whilst Spidey battles the Juggernaut (which were much better).
The book finished off with two (more recent) issues (a part 1 and 2 of a story) which wasn’t great but not bad either, but really didn’t have much to do with Madame Web at all…..
Overall, not bad. I liked being able to read Madame Web’s first issue!

Qué vigor estos cómics. Siempre fui muy reacio a Spider-Man, pero me estoy pasando el día leyéndolo.
I think I'm dumb
or maybe I'm just happy

I have no real complaints.

A digest-sized reprint of Stern and Romita's classic, "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut!" Also, Madame Web's first appearance! And a new status quo for Julia Carpenter!

First Madame Web reading ever. I have to admit that I preferred the 1963 editions to the 1999 ones. The ones from 1963 were a bit corny and dated but still far more modern than I expected. And Madame Web was so much cooler. I much prefer the powerful older woman trapped in a life-sustaining machine than the mom resurrection in the later stuff.

My first time reading about Juggernaut too. What a jerk! LOL
