It is utterly insane to me that this is a 3-issue story. Professor. Power. Is meant to keep Spider-Man and the X-Men at bay for a 3-issue story! Bonkers. Bananas. Other such…

TAC 197
I haven’t read this one. Can’t wait to see how sad DeMatteis can make a crossover between Marvel’s most popular characters. It’s pretty shocking, in retrospect, how little Spider-Man and The X-Men…
SMTU 1
Now this is just ridiculous. Launching a brand-new title with a character you’ve just shuffled off the board. As we’ve already seen, as of issue 2, it’s the Ben Spider-Man, but for…
MTU 053
I found this one could be hard to get at a reasonable price. At first, I thought it was like ASM 119-120, where it’s still just an early meeting between our hero…
MTU Annual 1

ASM 161

This cover doesn’t really prepare the casual reader for the craziness inside. It’s been exactly 6 years since MTU 79 was published as X-Men 191 hits newsstands. Calling back that far is…
Uncanny X-Men 190
It’s The X-Men! It’s Kulan Gath! Yes, Claremont is doing a sequel of sorts to MTU 79, and he’s bringing Spidey and The Avengers along for the ride. All this for just…
X-Men 35
Welcome back to the adventures of swingin’ Spidey in 1967. It feels like forever since we got back here. Here we begin a complete run through the eras. Last batch I left…
MTU 150
This somber cover brought to you by one of comics’ true fine artists, Barry Windsor-Smith. Poor Spidey looks so sad up in the corner box. By 1984, there’s no question that Spider-Man…
