So glad it ended like it did or it would’ve made no sense at all. I’m intrigued if not totally impressed.

RatsKert reviewed Spider-Man #11 Aug 19, 2023
Are all 'new' comic runs that aren't mini's destined to just flame out.
Yes.
The best you can hope for as a fan of a new successful book is that you get a mini series once every year or two.
The whole industry just seems to be developing bad habits that are alienating the consumer.

RatsKert reviewed Avengers #4 Aug 19, 2023
The Ashen Combine are the slickest new group of villains going in Marvel today.
I love Idol Alabaster and Citysmith but my favorite is Lord Ennui, who can barely be bothered to do his city-conquering.
The Impossible City is interesting, but it's obvious where that is going.
Love the art too.

But with Lord Ennui, the Citysmith, Idol Alabaster, the Dead and Meridian Diadem scattered across the planet, each with their own city for prey, have the Avengers spread themselves too thin?
