Definitely had a moment of 90s nostalgia with this cover thinking a first cover appearance of a Spider-Man/Juggernaut hybrid would be highly collectible. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I don’t think this is the comic the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie was paying homage to with the Roosevelt Tram scene, but it would be funny if it was.

Watch @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and my short review of Radioactive Spider-Man #1-3 by @thatjoekelly.bsky.social and Kev Walker, wherein Peter wrestles with the decision to let his mutated Aunt die. Sounds silly, but it turned out to be quite the emotional ride!

It’s hard to get overly excited by a Ghost story in really any comic series, but this is still a pretty cool cover from volume 3.

What started as primarily a Spider-Man/Human Torch book soon became much more than that. In addition to other heroes, we also got lots of early appearances from villains like Morbius the Living Vampire.
