It's fine. It just doesn't really make me excited for QiB. Nor does it feel like that event is starting next month.
Venom #259
VenoMJ GETS AN ALL-NEW LOOK! A face from Venom's past is back from the dead - with a warning that could mean the end of the world! In the face of the apocalypse, who can Mary Jane Watson trust with her greatest secret? Not who you think! Meanwhile, Dylan Brock makes a decision...and the Venom family may never be the same! Plus, an all-new look for ...
While reading this, I just can't ignore this feeling. Of feeling nothing. This screams whatever to me and it's hard to enjoy anything this offers. No one is surprised it ends with an ass-pull deus ex machina because the first 4 issues did nothing to buildup to a resolution.
I don't know what happened with Campz. His Ultimates run was so good until this started.
Also Ultimate

Ultimate Endgame #5
THE END OF THE LINE! The universe hangs by a thread as our weary heroes face their final, crushing challenge: the ultimate, cataclysmic showdown with The Maker! Everything they have fought for, everything they believe in, will be tested in this pulse-pounding, oversized final issue. There are no more retreats, no more second chances.
I have the same feeling with this as I had with Ultimate Endgame #5.
Whatever.
All this just feels like damage control after Marvel realized no one liked UE and no one wanted Ultimate Universe to end. And with the success of Absolute universe from DC, they are just scrambling while trying to figure out what to do.
Ultimate Potential-Man's fate is actually funny. It

Ultimate Universe: Finale #1
THE ULTIMATE GOODBYE…Following the events of ULTIMATE ENDGAME #5, the creative teams of all the Ultimate books come together one last time to say farewell…
Yeah this was whatever for me.
Spider-Man: Long Way Home #1
A DARK HOMECOMING AWAITS... It's a world before the Punisher. A world where the existence of the Hulk is but a whisper of a rumor. A world where A.I.M. has just developed a Cosmic Cube in the jungles of South America. Frank Castle, Bruce Banner and Peter Parker are all on a mission to keep the Cube out of the wrong hands - including each other's. I...
This feels like a very forced retcon for the upcoming issue 1000. It's powerful don't get me wrong. May keeping this all this time makes sense in context. It's devastating. I hope it doesn't all turn out to be a fake out. That would be the most tragic. I also just don't see what it really adds to the world of Spider-Man. Is this going to be a recurring element or just a one off to sell an issue? T more
Amazing Spider-Man #31
THE TALK... Peter Parker's world will never be the same. Don't miss one of the most pivotal issues in Spider-Man history!
This just works for me. I have such high nostalgia for Slott's writing and BND -era. And it feels very fitting. You could read this between issues of BND era ASM and you wouldn't notice anything. I also like callbacks.
Is it perfect? No. Does it do anything revolutionary? Nope. Does it have charming art and feel very comfortable to read? Absolutely. For me at least. And it's all I wante

Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #2
The adventure into one of Spidey's most important periods with some of the creators who made it happen - continues! Spider-Man paints a giant target on his back by stealing the Kingpin's LEXICON, Fisk's directory detailing his entire criminal enterprise. PUNISHER steps in to "help" Spidey, but Mr. Negative and his army of unkillable Inner Demons pu...
I am a bit mixed on this.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the art, villain stuff was good and writing for May was excellent.
But I just wish there was less action and more talking. I just wanted more of that and not Blood Market.

Snyder and Dragotta just keep cooking with this.
Absolute Batman #21
Friends become enemies. Enemies become friends. Final forms are revealed, and Scarecrow’s reign of terror threatens to upend everything.
Proof that miserable conservatives are not the demographic for this comic.

Absolute Superman #4
SUPERMAN MEETS THE MYSTERIOUS OMEGA MEN! Superman is on the run, pursued across the globe by armed Peacemakers and Lazarus Corp's top field agent, Lois Lane. Now a new force joins the chase, but are the mysterious Omega Men friends or foes for Kal-El?
Absolute Superman #3
MEMORIES OF KRYPTON! Years ago on Krypton, Jor-El and Lara became utterly convinced that their planet was headed towards cataclysm. But what could two lowly peons of the Labor Guild possibly do to save their entire species? The answer is decidedly not what you think...
Absolute Superman #2
The Lazarus Corporation sent their most battle-hardened crew of Peacemakers to locate the mysterious fugitive interfering with their mining operations--but they weren't expecting one motor-mouthed, iron-willed woman to be the one to finally get the cuffs onto him!

This is some peak, powerful Spider-Man. I'm sad the space saga is already ending. The small retcons to Peter's younger years don't change much at all but further enforce his views of helping others and mystifying Uncle Ben, always the paragon.
Amazing Spider-Man #17
SPIDEY SPACED OUT! Peter Parker is LOST IN SPACE with no way home! Does he even WANT to return after his shocking defeat at the hands of HELLGATE?! The cosmos ain't the friendliest of neighborhoods for Spidey and his galactic gang of outlaws. If they don't learn to work together FAST, they'll never leave the planet they're currently stranded on ALI...
It was kind of surreal seeing Norman Osborn in a Spider-Man suit, broken and bloody, toasting the sentiments of Peter Parker with J. Jonah Jameson. I love it, don't get me wrong. This is one of the best ways to take these characters. I will forever be upset if Norman gets reverted back or Jonah and Peter have a falling out. Peter's old supporting cast have come and gone and this new venture is the more
Amazing Spider-Man #18
ONCE A GOBLIN... Norman Osborn may not be the real Spider-Man, but he's the Spider-Man NYC's got. Despite Norman doing his very best to do good, everyone, including Peter Parker's allies, is trying to take him down. And someone or something(s) is hunting GOBLINS...and they're finally ready to spring their terrifying trap!
