I recently re-watched the Deadpool 2 movie, which features Juggernaut as a villain. This put me in mind to dive into the archives and unearth this slim graphic novel. Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut, written by Roger Stern, with art by John Romita, Jr. and Jim Mooney, comics heavyweights all, remains one of my all-time favorite Spider-Man tales, and comic-book stories in general. Juggernaut's wake of destruction as he traverses NYC, Spidey's valiant efforts to thwart him, wonderfully rendered in word and image, are the sorts of things I love about sequential-art stories.… (more)

A great showcase for Dr. Doom. He's seriously Marvel's most interesting character when written well.

Excellent character study of Doom with early artwork of Mignola, plus some work from Colan. Who better to draw the fantastic and hellish themes of this book.
Doom is such a wonderful evil character. He is the ultimate patriarch, driven Captain Ahab, Milton Satan, and traumatized youth. Heroic and despicable at the same time.

I think this might contain the entirety of the Korvac saga? Well it's really bad and has a hilariously awful ending with the most weak attempt at Making U Think I've read this guy who wanted to remake the world in his image was actually 100% good and the avengers should have just... ignored him... ok It also features an epilogue to the Korvac saga published in some annual which just makes it even more muddled.

Most of this stuff focuses on the Avengers fwiw. Also because it's *just* the stuff with any of the Guardians in a later story has just the 2 comics setting it up and then nothing else so you start and then don't finish! Which sucks. On the plus side it is completist about all the stuff with guardians of the galaxy, the art is good, sometimes really stunning, the dialogue is... ok. Whatever it's fine but not very exciting
