Amazing Spider-Man Epic Collection: Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut

One of the greatest eras in Spider-Man history begins in this Amazing Epic Collection!

Roger Stern and John Romita Jr. joined the Spider-Man-creator hall of fame with their run, taking the web-spinner to new heights while recapturing the compelling tone and character-driven focus that made Spider-Man world famous. Together they brought classic villains like the Vulture to the fore, explored a disturbing fate for the Tarantula, told the definitive Juggernaut tale and made J. Jonah Jameson an even bigger pain that ever before. Arguably their paramount achievement was introducing the thrilling mystery of the Hobgoblin, showing in these pages how he's one of the most threatening villains Spider-Man would ever face. All this and the first appearance of Monica Rambeau, A.K.A. Captain Marvel!

Roger Stern has written for radio, television, the stage, and the Internet, creating scripts for everything from sketch comedy to flash-animation. For ten years, he was the senior writer of the Superman series for DC Comics. Stern has written hundreds of stories about such diverse characters as Green Lantern, Supergirl, Starman, the Atom, and the Justice League for DC Comics; and Spider-Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and the Avengers for Marvel. His novelization -- The Death and Life of Superman -- was a New York Times bestseller.

"Some of the best Spider-Man material of all time." -- Doug Glassman

"The world of Spider-Man comics was never more riveting, dynamic and unpredictable as it was when Roger Stern was writing Amazing Spider-Man." -- Mark Ginocchio

"Roger had the Midas touch with just about everything he wrote for Marvel. Spider-Man, Avengers, Hulk, Doctor Strange, you name it." -- J.M. DeMatteis

"Stern is a master story teller. I was not a big Spider-Man fan, nor [an] Avengers [fan] -- but I have a massive collection of their comics, thanks to Roger Stern. He would tell such good, solid stories -- always leaving you wondering 'what happens next' -- that before you knew it, you had long boxes filled with his work." -- James Kakalios, author of The Physics of Superheroes and The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics

"Roger Stern is widely considered to be the best Spider-Man writer since Stan Lee. According to Comic Book Resources readers, he is responsible for three of the ten best Spider-Man stories ever: 'The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man' ... 'Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut' ... and the Hobgoblin Saga. His 26 issues of Amazing Spider-Man may just be the most perfect run in the series's history. A new reader is bound to be impressed."--Thomas Mets

"Roger Stern never once tried to reinvent the superhero genre. He doesn't question the art form or its meaning in a larger sense. He doesn't create dark, heavy universes with overt political messages or implicit moral agendas. He just tells great stories." -- Ethan Kalett
