Přidávám hvězdu za finální, dnes už legendární, souboj s Juggernautem.
April 11, 2025
As Kevin Smith has pointed out, most storytelling in comic books is the middle part of a story. But damn, if this middle part of Spider-Man's story isn't an entertaining one.
I was aware of the final two issues of this one in which Spidey battles the Juggernaut from my time following The Amazing Spider-Man. I had the two issues following it and read them repeatedly, so I'd heard about the epic battle but never experienced it. So, when my local library's digital collection suggested this run of Amazing Spider-Man collection, I decided that after forty years, it was time to read the epic battle between Spidey and the Juggernaut finally.
It was worth the wait. While there may be other developments from this era that overshadow the issues collected here, I'd argue that Roger Stern's run as the head writer for one of Marvel's flagship titles is largely underrated. Outside of introducing the Hobgoblin (and boy howdy, is that an interesting little side tangent to explore when it comes to the original plans for who was behind that mask), Stern doesn't get enough credit for his tenure of the book. Stern wanted to introduce new rivals beyond the core foes he'd faced since Stan Lee was penning the adventures of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. And this collection represents that well with a variety of villains facing off against Spidey. Some are more memorable than others and there are a few seeds sewn for longer term stories here. But overall, we get some solid, entertaining takes on the characters and Peter Parker.
Beyond the epic clash with the Juggernaut, there's a two-part story with the Black Cat in which she makes her early attempts to go straight so she can be romantically linked to Spidey. Yes, it doesn't quite work out here, but it will eventually become a long-running (or at least it felt that way when I was collecting and Spidey and Black Cat were an item) thread for the series. I feel like some of what Stern gives us about the Black Cat here could be fun to see in her eventual inclusion in a silver-screen version of Spider-Man. Well, assuming the rumors are true that she is going to be part of the next movie.
One thing I love about this era is John Romita, Jr's epic artwork that accompanies the Stern's stories. Romita establishes himself as one of the top tier Spider-Man artists with these issues from the early 80s. Indeed, a lot of the visuals he crafted are etched permanently into my brain. And the whole battle with the Juggernaut is just next level.
All in all, this is a fun collection. It's not quite as iconic as others like Spider-Man No More or the Death of Gwen Stacy. But if you want to see a creative team confidently telling good Spider-Man stories, look no further than this collection,

A distanza di 30 anni da quando le lessi la prima volta, queste storie restano per me estremamente belle e ben riuscite, con disegni molto buoni e un'ottima trama. Roger Stern per me è uno dei più grandi scrittori di fumetti viventi da quando lessi questi albetti, ora raccolti in una lussuosa edizione hardcover. Ecco, unica pecca che ci trovo è la colorazione rivista. Sarà la nostalgia, sarà che la carta patinata secondo me rende meno, appesantisce troppo il colore, preferivo quella originale.
4 stelle piene, sarebbero state 5 con la colorazione originale.

A couple of good stories, but nothing to write home about. Was nice seeing Spider-Man fight the Juggernaut, and the battle was pretty much what we could expect.

This run of Spider-Man is art of the highest order. Roger Stern's era on the title is burned into my brain, so much so that I need not even read these issues. I can recite them nearly word for word. While I didn't buy these particular issues off of the stands at the time, they were all inexpensive back issues circa 1983-1985. Then I re-bought them when I got into collected editions a decade ago in the black and white Spider-Man: Murder By Spider trade paperback...then again in The Sensational Spider-Man: Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut trade paperback- if you could call it that, at a mere 2 issues...again when issues 229 and 230 were reprinted in the Spider-Man Wizard Masterpiece Edition hardcover...and again in Essential Spider-Man Vol. 11...this book...then the Spider-Man By Roger Stern Omnibus, and finally the Marvel Masterworks hardcovers. Why don't I simply set up pre-tax payroll deductions for Roger Stern and John Romita, Jr. while I'm at it? Cripes!
Tales of excessive upgrading aside, these are some of the best Spider-Man stories ever. Issue 224 shows the Vulture “reborn” as a serious contender, while 225 has a highly amusing Foolkiller story. I agree with the Foolkiller quite often, as I don't suffer fools lightly. Those without poetry in their souls are indeed the greatest fools of them all! Issues 226 and 227 features the return of the Black Cat. I found #227 in a quarter box in 1983. Issue 228 was something of a fill-in issue not by the regular creative team, a sort of catch your breath because Stern/Romita, Jr. were getting ready to kick into high gear with Issues 229 and 230.
Issues 229 and 230 are, quite frankly, among the greatest Spider-Man stories ever told. Every ingredient that has made this character great is on display here. Spider-Man is hopelessly outclassed by the Juggernaut, and everything that he tries to stop him fails. When Madame Web tries to enlist the help of The Avengers and the Fantastic Four and finds them both unavailable, Spider-Man nearly gives up. It is this strength of perseverance in the face of unbeatable odds that speaks to so many people. Roger Stern gets it. There is a reason why so many fans point to the early 1980s as one of the best periods for this title.
John Romita, Jr. comes into his own during this period. He has the genetic gift of being John Romita, Sr.'s son, and is thus the heir to the throne of this title. I've always felt that Spider-Man was his birthright, and I wish that he were still drawing it. There is great artwork throughout the book, especially the Jim Mooney inked issues. He has the pedigree and helps bring an old school feel to it. If you have never read this era of Spider-Man then you need to rectify this immediately. You'll be glad that you did.
The late, lamented Marvel Premiere Classic line was sort of a junior Masterworks line. Classic material presented in hardcover with nice paper and sewn binding at a much lower MSRP.

A história do confronto entre o Homem-Aranha e o Fanático, "Nada Pode Parar o Fanático", sempre figurou em diversas listas de melhores histórias do herói aracnídeo. Por isso eu fui com muita expectativa para ler a história e, realmente, ela cumpre todas elas. É uma história muito bem orquestrada. O problema neste encadernado são as outras histórias, que não são nada de mais. As duas com o Abutre são medianas e as com a Gata Negra e o "Homem das Aranhas" são muito fraquinhas. Isso acaba deixando a avaliação deste encadernado mais baixa, mesmo que a história do encontro entre o Homem-Aranha e o Fanático para salvar a debilitada vidente Madame Teia (eu adoro ela!) seja muito boa mesmo. Roger Stern é um escritor que colaborou por demais na mitologia de diversos personagens como Hulk, Vingadores, Capitão América e Superman, e fez histórias que marcaram gerações. Temos aqui também a primeira passagem de John Romita Jr. pelo Homem-Aranha, que voltaria depois, com toda a carga e um novo estilo no final dos anos 90. Infelizmente, as demais histórias não são tão boas como a que dá título ao encadernado.

“With great power, comes great responsibility.” This is a hint of what I am reading. The book is about Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spiderman, who studies in the Empire State University and the fights crime in New York City. I love how Stanley gets in the shoes of Peter Parker and writes as if he would be live in that moment. In the story New York’s setting is not the typic times square and other tourism places, it is mostly in the avenues, in alleys with no end, and places where trains are no longer used. In this particular book, Spiderman faces some of his worst enemies who have fight against him at least once. Like the Vulture, Black Cat, The Juggernaut, etc. I love how in the book the perspective of who is telling the story changes sometimes it is Peter Parker or Spiderman, or even his enemies like the Vulture and the Black Cat. I know that if I would be Spiderman I could not resist deep pressure and I would end up giving up.

If you want an interesting book you would really like Spider-man nothing can stop the Juggernaut. This story is about a villain called the Juggernaut who is a person that is indestructible and Spider-man needs to stop him. The story takes place in New York but with superheroes. The author is very colloquial. Spider-man is very dynamic because he learns new things throughout the story which makes him dynamic. I thought that this book was very good and the theme is that a hero cannot save everyone.

Aside from the titular Juggernaut story which is a true classic that embodies Spider-Man to the fullest, most of the stories here aren't going to stick in the mind much. That said, they're the type of story that Spidey does so well, done in one adventures with a slice of Peter's life thrown in too. The Black Cat two parter is probably the best of these, with the fill-in murder mystery being dull, but overall it's clear to see why this got the Premiere HC treatment - they may not be the best of Spidey's stories but they've got the right heart.

Pretty nice edition! It's a hardcover collection, and I like the design of the slipcover. I bought this volume for the Spidey versus Juggernaut story, which I thought was too short.

Only two of the six stories collected here featured the Juggernaut and the rest were a very mixed bag highlighted by the story of Black Cat's apparent demise.
