SSM 19
Boy, that “prologue” in SSM 18 leading into this feels like forever ago. Too much product in this era, man. I got 6 blocks left from various points before Spider-Man had 3…

People have been unable to resist riffing on Stern/Romita, Jr.’s “Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut” since it published (In ASM 229 & 230, of course), but to do it with John Romita,…
