Goblin Nation will forever earn the unrealized potential award for a story that was just set up to be a stone cold classic and was instead, just ok.

I’ve never been the biggest fan of Jack O’Lantern as a villain, but I’m certainly a fan of this Frank Miller cover. Then you got a Roger Stern script and Shooter on pencils? Wild!

15 years ago, Amazing Spider-Man kicked off what would ultimately be a fateful storyline for Marla Jameson in ASM #652
Classic Silver Age Spider-Man and a gorgeous Steve Ditko cover even if this comic has no first appearances of note.

50 years ago this week, we had a real who done it in Amazing Spider-Man #155
Skottie Young variants for special edition comics like this are almost always an insta-buy for me. And this one is probably one of my favorite Sinister Six images.

5 years ago this week, we got another Last Remains fallout story in Amazing Spider-Man (v5) #57
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.

30 years ago this week, Ben Reilly and Kaine teamed up in Amazing Spider-Man #409
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!

45 years ago this week Spider-Man and Namor took on the Frightful Four in Amazing Spider-Man #215
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.

The first appearance of Hammerhead is probably better remembered from a visual perspective as a really creative Doc Ock cover from John Romita.

55 years ago this week, Spider-Man traveled to jolly ol England in Amazing Spider-Man #95
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.

35 years ago this week, Spider-Man took on his nemesis Fred Meyers and Venom returned in Amazing Spider-Man #345
We don’t get a ton of Spider-Man/Inhumans crossovers — especially not in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Man during the Bronze Age. So, have fun with this.
