Roger Stern / Lee Weeks - "Something can stop the Juggernaut"

[JGC]

Okay, I decided to create a thread on this storyline. When the heck is it coming out? I remember Roger mentioning it last year when his ASM #580 was coming out. Since then, nada. I'm starting to get impatient!

[Bodhi M.]

I haven't heard of it, but now that I have I can tell you that I would be on it like Blob on a box of doughnuts!!!! Both Stern and Weeks? Awesome! Make this happen Marvel!!!!

[lou-bert vs. q-bert]

Me too. I was really stoked when I heard the news. I loved Stern's recent ASM story and although I doubt he'll top the original Juggernaut story, he will still do no wrong.

[whiteshark]

I am looking forward to read it as well.
I am guessing not much time after the Gauntlet is finished,since i remember Roger Stern saying in this forum that some of the art is already finished.

[James Conniff]

Uncle Rog and Lee Weeks on this has me very excited. Then again anything Spidey related that Uncle Rog is working on always gets me worked up for the issues.

[Gitaroo_Dude]

I'm not positive, but I think they said it's one of those stories that editorial is holding onto when they need to fill-in a gap between the main story lines. So in case the schedule falls apart this can be put in.

That's kind of a bummer.

Is this a single issue type deal? I could have sworn I read it was a full three issue arc somewhere.

So in case the schedule falls apart this can be put in.Are you sure about? That's their policy for single issue stories, but this has been said to be a three-parter.

[Gitaroo_Dude]

Are you sure about? That's their policy for single issue stories, but this has been said to be a three-parter.

Nah, not positive. I just think that's what Stern said on here. I'm probably remembering it wrong though. May end up being a Gauntlet issue in Feb. or something.

http://www.imwan.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_shush.gif Patience, please.

All three issues have been plotted since February. Lee has finished the first issue...and I guess the second one (haven't seen that yet), as he told me that he's now working on the third issue.

Once Lee is finished, and I get to start scripting the pages, then Steve Wacker will be able to tell us where it's going to go.

Besides, while I've been waiting, I've written the YOUNG ALLIES special, the Aunt May story for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FAMILY #7, and a story for CAPTAIN AMERICA #600...all of which wound up going on sale the same week this past June. Go figure!

In the meantime, I've plotted another single-issue story for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Don't know who is drawing that one.

And I'm currently about halfway through plotting a 4-issue miniseries...which (who knows?) might very well wind up being scheduled before the three-part Spider-Man/Juggernaut story that I first started over a year ago.

Unless they come out at the same time.

Hey gang, just posted this to Mr.Wacker:

Any info as to when we can expect Roger Stern's "Something Can Stop the Juggernaut"? I've been looking forward to this ever since it was first mentioned.
Got the following images and response:

Does anyne else think that lower left panel on the 1st page looks like an homage to Gil Kane's depiction of Spider-Man? I swear I saw this in the Death of Gwen Stacy tpb. If it's not in 121-122, it's in those Harry Osborn drug issues somewhere. Can anyone confirm this?

[Hazard]

Wait, so that's Juggernaut after Skaar threw him into the orbit? If so interesting continuity nod. Anyway, I am looking forward to this.

Seems like a perfect way to show use of continuity without making it jarring and confusing to a Spider-Man reader.

They'll probably explain it with a editor's caption though. Very nice art, been looking forward to seeing it's progress and finally reading it.

[Roger Stern]

Any hints you can give us regarding what these upcoming books are about, Mr. Stern?

They are all about twenty-two pages long.


I would like to know as well if posible.

Well, I can tell you that the miniseries doesn't involve Spider-Man. I'll talk more about it when we get closer to publication.

No. Skaar -- whoever that is -- is not involved.

[ShaggyB]

--Uncle Rog

doh... lol and after i voiced my approval....

Ok so is it Onslaught again? :wink:

[CyberHubbs]

No. Skaar -- whoever that is -- is not involved.

--Uncle Rog

Skaar is the Incredible Hulk's son from when Banner got banished into space by Reed, Stark and a few others. He's on Earth now, chillin' with his dad who can't currently Hulk out.

Looking forward to know more about this miniseries.

And i can not miss this chance to say Thank You for writing such great stories with Spider-Man which i enjoyed so much reading.
And i hope to see much more stories written by you with Spider-Man in the future as well.

I have said it before,but if you joined the team of writers in ASM,it would make ASM with the best writing quality over all comics.
I can only hope that it hapens someday.It would be great.

Looks great, I certainly hope that juggy doesn't crash land in New York though. I mean, if he does why of all super-heroes is Spider-Man finding him? Come to think of it, no matter where Juggy lands, why Spider-Man of all superheros find him? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!MY BRAIN IS ON FIIIIIIIIIRE!

Above you said you should have one more story for sure... many fans love your Spidey (myself included) and would like to see more Spidey work from you.

Who would we write to so we could make our intentions known? Quesada? Wacker? Buckley?

Would a letter be better or an email?

[Billium 3]

I'm pretty sure this is the Gil Kane image I said this looked an aweful lot alike (It's one of the best I could find anywho). If I find any better, I'll edit it and resubmit it. So whaddya thin? A bit of a Gil Kane homage?

I think it's just a coincidence. When the character's appeared in roughly a thousand comics, there's bound to be some images that look the same.

I thought of that possibility, but had to get some more opinions on the matter to draw a final conclusion.

I don`t think Lee Weeks did a homage of Gil Kane art in that panel.
Usually homages are done from covers of comics,or important moments from a story.

That Gil Kane panel is well painted,(as all his work in ASM),but is just a close shot of Spider-Man.
So only a close shot of Spider-Man looks a bit of a stretch to be something a artist would make a homage from.
And the angle used by Lee Weeks in his panel is diferent from Gil Kane pannel.

I totally suport this as well.
It would be just great if Roger Stern was part of the team of writers in ASM.
His experience writing cool Spider-Man stories would make a valid contribuition to the writing quality of the book to balence the stories from writers that have not write many stories with Spider-Man so far as Van Lente.

[DeadXMan]

doubly so if it is "drawn" by Land.

Well, Roger Stern is sort of a member of the Webheads. He, along with J.M. DeMatteis and Tom DeFalco, have been contributing to the Spider-verse since BND began. I would love to see more stories from all of them for sure, they truly are the "braintrust" when it comes to Spidey.

I just hope to see Roger Stern a part of the team of writers in ASM as Dan Slott or Mark Waid,which would mean that more stories of Roger Stern apeared in ASM.

Juggernaut must be getting used to crash-landing in New York City. Didn't Onslaught bop him there clear from Canada? I imagine him sailing along, thinking to himself, "Yup, there's Stokes State Forest, I'm over Pennsylvania now..."

What's Juggernaut's reasons for being bad these days again? At times he seems like a glorified thug -- smarter than Rhino, but what's he after in life?

I think they are trying to say that to have the full power of Cyttorak he has to be bad and destructive. This was kind of the deal he made to get his full power back in World War Hulk: X-men.

Then there was the issue of X-Men Legacy where Xavier went to him and at the end of it Xavier said he didn't think redemption was possible for Cain.

So Cain is possessed by Cytorrak, more or less?

[BobfromHR]

So Cain is possessed by Cytorrak, more or less?

No. Cain is The Juggernaut again because he chose it. And Cain didn't have to make a deal to get his power back in WWH:X-Men. He just had to admit to himself why he wanted it and embrace his true nature.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #627
Written by ROGER STERN
Pencils & Cover by LEE WEEKS
"SOMETHING CAN STOP THE JUGGERNAUT! PART 1"
When a pounding Spider-Sense headache leads Spider-Man to the comatose body of his biggest, toughest foe, he realizes that something -- or someone -- can indeed stop the Juggernaut! But who? How? And who are they coming for next? Can Spider-Man find out before it's too late? And will Peter Parker ever get to have dinner with Carlie Cooper? Roger Stern and Lee Weeks (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #580) return to unravel the mystery in the first part of the
Spider-Man/Juggernaut Trilogy.
