Madelyn Pryor has a backup stored by Charles xavier. The x men are currently being genocided, xavier has gone awol and they almost cortisol didnf have a backup of bens memories. Thats not a plot hole.
Even for American superhero comic book standards...this is beyond dumb
IMMORTAL MEANS FOREVER!
The fight for Krakoa's future begins here! Since RISE OF THE POWERS OF X began, there have been a few mysteries unrevealed! Now writer Kieron Gillen fills in the gap of what happened between the end of IMMORTAL X-MEN and the beginning of the end of the Krakoan Age!
Rated T+
Yeah, that was a good comic. The conversations between the characters are more grey than black and white. Hope this series keeps this up
WHO IS THE GREEN GOBLIN?
Peter Parker's secret life starts fraying the edges of his personal life! J. Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker's pursuit of truth - or, at least, the news - stirs unrest with the world at large... And now that Spider-Man may not have to operate alone, the real work of rebuilding this corrupt world can begin!
Rated T
willing to speculate that Charles's deal is a trick for Nimrod so I wouldn't say this is out of character - yet, but yeah giving us a text page...Marvel if you're trying to get into the light novel business, you're doing it wrong lulz
MY ALLY, MY ENEMY!
They say a wounded animal can be the most dangerous kind of animal to face. As the fight between the mutants and Orchis reaches a deadly pitch, a startling revelation rocks the X-Men to their core. The two series that are one come together in one horrible betrayal as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!
Rated T+
The latest installment of Fall of the House of X had all the makings of a thrilling pentultimate issue, but unfortunately it prioritized quantity over quality. The issue felt like a rushed sprint from one set piece to the next, leaving key moments underdeveloped and lacking the emotional resonance they deserved.
One of the big missteps was the handling of Apocalypse's story. To save a d more

This issue wasn't as bad as usual, but the status quos of Mary Jane and Ben Reilly are still very frustrating and leave a bad taste, even if the story is more compelling than usual.
I still don't get why Spider-Man and the X-Men didn't give Ben his memories back in Dark Web like they did for Madelyne Pryor. It's such a big plot hole that it makes the Chasm stuff seem really forced.
After the events of WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #1, Chasm is on the loose! Spider-Man better track down his erstwhile clone and Hallows' Eve ASAP! We're getting closer to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50!
Rated T
They weren't being genocided during Dark Web. At the end of Dark Web, Jean shared her memories with Madelyne to help her. All Jean needed to do was share Peters memories with Ben so Ben could "remember" his early life and Uncle Ben etc. Exactly the same way Jean shared her memories with Madelyne. It's a huge plot hole.
Honestly I don't even think its about the memories anymore and more about that Peter didn't help Ben at all; wasn't ben already in limbo by the time Jean was helping Madelyne?
IDK. I love me some new IP's but Chasm is just a re-skinned Spidey and Hallows Eve looks too much like Hobgoblin to really qualify in my book. Feels like Miles and Kamala syndrome. The goblin Queen is....yet another Goblin and I'm really sick and tired of arrested development Peter. This isn't a bad issue and is in fact one of the better issues of late, but I'm just too checked out at this poimore

better than gang war but also nothing happened lmao (why is this a $4.99 issue?)
The Gang War is over, but New York City will bear the scars for a long time. While Peter was fighting the war, other parts of his life kept going on and the consequences will be felt here. Plus...what mystery is bubbling up at Ravencroft?
Rated T
this was so boring and dumb. why do any of us still bother reading this crap? oh yeah that's right, we can't help ourselves.
Nick Lowe, please retire or fire yourself.

Madame Masque makes the power move she's been waiting to make her entire life. This is not going to go the way you think it will!

Summary: MJ never fucks Paul — they find their kids in Dimension Goofy and adopt them. Then Spidey rescues them but MJ leaves him cuz too much time went by. And the FF and Cap are still pissed at Spidey for stealing the shit he used to rescue MJ.
Lol Imagine pitching this to an editor and getting the gig to write Spider-Man.
The past and the present collide in this oversized and monumental 25th issue! Your heart isn't ready for this one.
Rated T
...the second story was actually pretty funny. I did like it quite a bit but we're all here to trash the main story!
The lengths Marvel will go to...to...keep PP from MJ? OK, whatever.
But Peter behaving like a complete man baby and needing to punch other superheroes even *after* MJ is safe? This is just frustrating silliness from the editorial team. Apparently, having Peter more

This issue was really phoned in, both writing and art.
omeone tries to kill Spidey and Black Cat. You thought this would be easy for Peter? Nope! The special two-parter from superstar guests Joe Kelly and Terry Dodson concludes here!
Rated T
Lots of the usual fun ideas and banter from Kelly, but the Dodsons turn in messy rush job art that makes the comic borderline unreadable. Such is the way of fill-ins, I suppose.

Rated T
I've honestly never thought the Dodson's did well on interiors. It's almost always a huge step down from their covers. I'd rather have them doing covers over JRJR and Gleason or someone who has shown a significant talent for drawing Spidey that has been underrepresented.
Was it brain rot? Yes.
Was it funny and at least entertaining? Yes.
Round One is over! Peter Parker finds himself trapped in Limbo. Peter not only has to find his way back home, but he has to do it in a truly hellish fashion. And who is shadowing him?
Rated T
Aside from JRJR drawing Kamala to look a little older than she is? O_o pretty fun start to a new arc and looking forward to this
THE RETURN OF THE HOBGOBLIN! The timing of this goblin's return with Peter working at Oscorp MUST be a coincidence, right? But who is donning the yellow cowl? Roderick Kingsley? Ned Leeds? Flash Thompson? If you know anything about Hobgoblin, you know that you know nothing about Hobgoblin.

• I know that this is just #3, but did you notice that it's LGY #897? That means something big is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

• The best couple in comics is done?
• You aren't going to believe what is happening in this volume of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
What an odd choice for cover and synopsis. Yes, they have been misleading before, but I can't remember a last time when a character appeared on the cover of ASM and didn't appear at all in the comic itself, or had nothing to do with the story.
I'm just confused. That's just... wrong. Like what the hell Marvel? Especially, what the hell Lowe???
But, back to the issue. It's fin more
• The best couple in comics is done?
• You aren't going to believe what is happening in this volume of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Yeah, but I get milestone covers and why they are what they are. Celebrating something with a big round-up cover I get. Having only two characters on a cover that teases a moment that never comes since one of the characters doesn't show up at all, I don't. I also don't get why you feel the need to defend this, or comment this when you either don't like it? Just because this has happened before, doesn't mean it's okay and people shouldn't complain about it.
That I do agree with. Giving this comic a 1-3 because of misleading cover doesn't make sense, since otherwise this run hasn't been that bad actually. Nice change of pace compared to Spencer's run.
This is probably not your usual #1 that promises a ton of exciting new changes to the status quo (they literally brought in the go-to Spidey artist), but it wasn't a bad read by any measure. JRJR's art definitely isn't what it once was, but we've seen worse in the past 2 years lol. Peter/MJ stuff will always be able to reel me in, so uhhh yeah I guess I'll keep reading
Peter's on the outs with the FF. He's on the outs with the Avengers. He's on the outs with Aunt May! No one wants to see Spider-Man - except for Doctor Octopus. Ock's on Spider-Man's tail and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Spidey. All that, and what does Tombstone have planned? Just in time...
I went into this issue with optimism, and a chip on my shoulder. Not for the creators on this book, or even the editor. Rather, I had a chip on my shoulder for the fans. That chip is still there, after reading this book. All that screaming and whining about how this would be the worst run ever, and what have we gotten with this issue? A solidly written piece of a story that sets things up. It is nmore

WHO CAN SAVE THE RED PLANET?
The mutants of Arakko spent millennia scarred by war - but on what was once called Mars, they're learning to live in peace. STORM knows the red planet needs something greater than a queen. But ABIGAIL BRAND has other plans, along with an unstable VULCAN on her side and CABLE keeping his own secrets. Welcome to X-MEN...
Overall, incredible first issue. Couple things did annoy me a bit though: Kurt's reaction to the decision (Selene's escalation is *even* more justification for not choosing her) and just a tad bit too much inner thoughts from Mr. Sinister, otherwise excellent still.
It's a little weird that the X-Books have been doing a lot of election stuff as of late...hopefully this is the end of it more

haha looks like I'm on the side that liked the Beyond arc...I love Ben, and while I understand this conclusion is conflicting for many, I do look forward to whatever comes next for everyone's favorite Spider-Clone.
• THE BIG FINALE OF "BEYOND"!!!

• WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIZARD?! And what could he (or more accurately, it, after recent ASM events) possibly have to do with what has been battering Ben Reilly around?
• Only one issue to go, so you know, BIG STUFF IS HAPPENING HERE!!!
RATED T+
IMO the weakest entry in the main ASM Beyond books so far. Pichelli's art was inconsistent, and most of the plot felt like anime filler lol. Still looking forward to how this finishes and hope this story wraps up strong!
Look for more information on this title in future issues of Marvel Previews.
There are some truly...amazing :P panels in this issue, and the character writing is overall top tier.
Can't give it a 10 though - there were some editing issues (looking at you Nick Lowe).
• QUEEN GOBLIN IS TRIUMPHANT!
• The Daily Bugle is decimated.
• Can Ben Reilly bounce back and take down the Queen Goblin?
Rated T+
I admit I'm biased. I'm going to give any SM comic that includes anti-capitalist messaging an automatic 9. Memes aside, this was a great issue that did tease us with more exciting stuff about Tesl---oops I meant Facebo---SORRY! Beyond corp.
DOCTOR OCTOPUS VS. SPIDER-MAN AT BEYOND HQ!
• It's going to take everything Ben Reilly and the company that backs him has to stop Otto Octavius.
• But, in the Merry Marvel fashion and as with all respectable Spider-Stories, even if Spider-Man wins, he is going to lose. And he is going to lose BIG.
RATED T+
Solid issue. It feels nostalgic but is also definitely carving its own mythos for Ben. Subtle / not-so-subtle throwing shade at capitalism is cool now. I love how the Beyond staff is basically the stand-in for the PMC (Professional Managerial Class) / petty bourgeoisie here, or maybe I'm reading a little tooooo much into this lol. Really excited to see where the rest of the series is oing!
The aftershocks of the Morbius incident are still fresh in Ben Reilly’s mind, and he’s faced with KRAVEN THE HUNTER! A corporate-sponsored Spider-Man is more than Kraven can bear, and the hunter is going to test his prey like never before. The trap is set, and the bait is ready. Now it’s just time to wait and watch.
great start to a new era!
hoping this is a critique on capitalism...if it is, Zeb Wells will be my hero
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is back to thrice-monthly because this story is pure jet fuel. Ben Reilly has returned to NYC and has fully taken back the mantle of Spider-Man, but what does this mean for Peter Parker?

"I want a Spider-Man book that makes me feel like this", Nick Lowe describes the inspiration of the book on the last page of the issue. He was riding a subway when that happened...
Not everything is a good idea, Nick. This book certainly wasn't.

I've started reading more manga than comics (no, not because comics are too woke or whatever, that doesn't bother me). The stories there are infinitely more diverse and fresher. Comic book history baggage have led us to...this garbage. As much as I hated OMD, I would really rather them just move on than try to fix the past. No one cares.
