Roger Stern was the author of what is for me the best run on Amazing Spider-Man, and within that run were issues #229-230<\/a>, titled: \u201cNothing Can Stop the Juggernaut.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

When I first read those issues I wasn\u2019t well-versed in Juggernaut, and I\u2019m pretty sure it was the first time I\u2019d read a story with him.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I was alone in that.\u00a0 The story catapulted Juggy into fan-favorite status, where before he was virtually unknown.<\/p>\n

With this brief arc, Stern returns to ASM and to that story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Tracking a mysterious crash landing in Central Park, Spider-Man finds an unconscious Juggernaut and reminisces about his past adventures.\u00a0 Seeing no imminent threat, he backs off and allows the special metahuman NYPD unit, Code Blue, do its job while he turns into Peter Parker and snaps photos.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Juggernaut is taken to a medical lab where he is secured and examined, and Pete\u2019s girlfriend, Police Officer Carlie, works there.\u00a0 She tells him that Juggernaut has resumed consciousness, so Spider-Man slips in to talk with him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

And finds himself face-to-face with Captain Universe. \u00a0Captain Universe explains that Juggernaut has \u201cruined his life\u201d as Spider-Man tries to bond with him (since Spidey, too, was possessed by the Enigma Force).\u00a0 But Cap U ain\u2019t havin\u2019 it.<\/p>\n

So, we won\u2019t be seeing a reprise of Spidey vs Juggernaut.\u00a0 Instead, it\u2019s Spidey vs. Captain Universe\u2013a much more powerful foe.\u00a0 Stern offers some conscious references to ASM #629-630.\u00a0 The two fight at a construction site, e.g., and we learn that the man possessed by the Enigma Force lost his job, his girlfriend, and his home after that classic story because one of the building Juggernaut destroyed was the one that housed the man\u2019s business.\u00a0 He then tried to kill himself by jumping off a bridge, but the Uni-Power possessed him before the point of impact.\u00a0 Thereafter, he tracked down Juggernaut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

That\u2019s a long time for a guy with cosmic power to be searching for Juggernaut, but whatever.\u00a0 That\u2019s a minor quibble, I suppose, but it\u2019s noticeable.<\/p>\n

The ending is a bit unsatisfying, too.\u00a0 Turns out, the Enigma Force doesn\u2019t like revenge (see above panels where Spider-Man tells the man he will offend the power through his actions) and switches to Juggernaut.\u00a0 Juggernaut then stops a major earthquake (caused after his fight with Captain Universe damaged tectonic plates(!)) and then the Enigma Force leaves the scene.<\/p>\n

In the epilogue, the man writes a book called \u201cHow I Survived the Juggernaut\u201d that makes his money back and also donates the proceeds to survivors of Juggernaut\u2019s first attack.<\/p>\n

Roger Stern\u2019s clever writing and character work elevates the far-fetched plot to above average.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to say that this story is displaced in time and takes place recently after ASM #629-630 (notwithstanding that Spider-Man\u2019s back-up cast is all modern) because it\u2019s the only way the tale makes sense.\u00a0 Plus, Mark Waid, Tom Peyer and Todd Nauck provide a short back-up feature with Absorbing Man and Iron Man that looks like it takes place in the \u201980s.<\/p>\n

Issue #630 also has a back-up, which serves as a prelude to the next story, Shed\u2013one of the best Spider-Man stories of this era.<\/p>\n

So, with the two backups, this really is just a two-issue arc.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
