He picks up some steam towards the end of the SPECTACULAR run, but never really enough to fully engage me. I eagerly dug into the SPECTACULAR issues, and found them to be a bit of a tough go.Stern was clearly still finding his footing on the character, and being relegated to a second-tier book, where nothing of any real consequence was ever allowed to happen, didn't help matters much. I was primarily interested in Stern's run on PETER PARKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, which I had only read bits and pieces of when the issues were originally released, thanks to the vagaries of newsstand distribution back in the '80's.įirst off, SPIDER-MAN BY ROGER STERN OMNIBUS collects a whopping 52 issues, including PETER PARKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #'s 43-61 and 85, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #'s 206, 224-252, and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #16. I was planning to only read the first portion of this collection (Everything before Stern's run on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN beginning with issue #224).I had read Stern's AMAZING run a little over two years ago (Reviews HERE and HERE), and had no interest in revisiting stories that were still so fresh in my mind.
The second-greatest SPIDER-MAN run ever, collected in one massive hardcover? Yes, please.
