This Byrne run of MTU is just the best ever. I highly recommend it. This was the first sub I ever had, and really caused me to start buying other titles like Avengers, X-Men, DD, etc.

Yeah, after Bill Mantlo's fantastic run at this book, Claremont & Byrne really made it even more exciting for a few years with some really memorable Spidey team-ups.

This was my first introduction to GR, and I must've read this one a hundred times. There was just something so cool about being introduced to all of these characters, which is why MTU has always had a soft spot for me.

I'm adding a Spider-Man title that is non-continuity (something never done in the past 2 Countdown Threads), but since it's been 25 years since the title saw print and over 30 years since it's first issue, and the fact that it probably played a major influence on our current batch of older Spidey readers, I thought I should give this comic the respect it deserves... a place in the Spider-Man 3 CountDown Thread.
