You'd lose that bet....
It's better than before but still a bit messy. I'm finally starting to become interested in this story and it gets concluded in the next issue, which feels sad. But consideringthe situation, I get why.
THOR, DOCTOR DOOM, and... THANOS?!
While Thor races Doctor Doom through time before Doom can tear reality itself asunder in his latest grab for power, they find Thanos at the heart of it all, finally revealing the power struggle that brought Thor's grandfather, Bor, and Thanos to all-out war - the ultimate weapon, hidden away for millennia. Bu...
Still a very enjoyable series.
EVE VERSUS SPIDER-MAN! 'Nuff said?!
Rated T+
It's a very interesting issue. After two issues of Eddie's journey, we are back with Dylan dealing with Osborns. I enjoyed what there was, but it felt a bit odd to place it here.
I do miss Ram V's writing for Dylan. I liked his voice for Dylan more than I do Ewing's.
TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT!
Battered, beaten and brutalized across nearly all of space and time, Eddie Brock's grit, determination and faith have wavered at times, but never broken. Here he reaches TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT, and you Venomaniacs will meet his most powerful form yet...
Rated T+
A slower, but enjoyable second part to this event.
"CARNAGE REIGNS"- PART 2!
No matter what MILES MORALES throws at CLETUS KASADY, the Extrembiote-powered monstrosity just keeps coming. And Cletus is only getting stronger. But how? Spider-Man needs help. A distraction, a second to breathe. Anything, or anyone, to give him a chance - any chance - at slowing Cletus down. But Miles can't rest. He...
Continues to be good-ish. I don't have huge problems with this, but it could be better.
FAMILY BUSINESS! Norman Osborn and his grandson reach a tacit agreement - but as good-natured as Norman may be now, when has an agreement ANYONE has made with him turned out well?

It's Jed MacKay, I knew he wouldn't disappoint.
But this was a really strong start. I quit Aaron's Avengers after it started to become too non-sensical, so this was a great starting point.
JED MACKAY AND STORMBREAKER C.F. VILLA TAKE THE REINS OF EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES!

Strong but kind of all over the place at times. I get the cut ins with all the other groups but some of it just felt like filler. Also having two brand new super villains to contend with in one book is a lot. It's just a dense issue that could afford to be stretched a little more.

For a storyline that started to get a bit boring near the end, this was a great finale. Full of fan-service, but I didn't mind.
It's Batman versus Red Mask in a brutal Gotham that's never known hope! Can the Dark Knight overcome the terrifying infection that Red Mask has unleashed? Only one thing is certain: he won't be able to do it alone. The conclusion to the bestselling The Bat-Man of Gotham is so big it could only be contained in an oversize #900 anniversary issue feat...
It's a very lackluster story where all the beats are recycled from the time gap where the hero can't save the heroine and grew apart and blah blah and then add a very mediocre villain acting like a 50s idea of what a cliched bad guy would be. There is nothing here that inspires or infuses a hint of suspense of hope in building proper characters. A year wasted on the dumbest premise. Zeb Wells and more

I believe none of y'all that have been complaining have read the issues when they were married, so stop fucking complaining like it's the end of the world, is isn't.

Why do you think that? Not gonna give a reason? Just wanna sound superior huh? Sounds like your the one who needs to stop fucking complaining about everybody else. Dick.
It's starting to get really hard to enjoy this. It feels just messy. And a bit boring.
All roads lead to... Doom! The time storm threatens all of existence past, present and future! While Doctor Doom hunts for Bor's weapon, which will allow him to claim Latveria, Earth and the whole of the universe as his own, Thor and Jane Foster hunt for Doom - deep in the past. But what IS the weapon Bor created? And with Doom hell-bent on control...
Since when was issue #25 of any series a "Landmark issue?" Soon Marvel will be celebrating issue #5.
It isn't terrible but it isn't very good either. A very average 5 out of 10 and that's mostly for the art. Nothing much happens in this hyped-up and oversized issue. We learn where the kids came from. And that's about all. Disappointing.
I enjoyed the art, especially Kaare An more

Grey I didn't know you reviewed here too. :) But this issue is just painful to read the art is great but the story is just garbage. I understand the deconstruction of a hero but this seems like total demolition. It make me dread the next issue.
@banditobane Yes, I drop a couple of reviews when I have time. The only problem with this site is the users who have multiple accounts just to review bomb certain writers. They never write any reviews, just throw out 1s or 10s for writers they seem to either love or hate.
This could have been an OK issue if I cared even a little bit about Paul and Rabin, but they're both really just ciphers to make the plot go where it needs to, and the plot isn't interesting or meaningful enough to bear the weight alone. It's not a bad explanation of where MJ's new family came from, but it's not a terribly involving one either

in all complete brutal honesty, its not bad. but its not good either. This comic book is just plain old okay.
art was inconsistent, and I do like how we see Mary Jane and Paul grow closer together. Kaare Andrews is a great artist, I wish that person was doing the run. I get why Peter Parker is lashing out, but it still doesnt change the fact that Fantastic Four was the one acting out of more

I must admit, I don't see the hate for this issue. Another "passable" one, that you can read. I didn't really feel anything for this issue. This 6-part storyline has felt very messy, oddly paced, but I hoped it would get better. Now it's just... meh.
There isn't anything really here for me to grab. Art was fine I suppose. MJ's backstory was... fine I suppose? Some twist with the kids, b more

Feels like many members of the Outrage Brigade says "ignore this this trash and don't buy it or read it, let it be forgotten! Vote with your wallets!" every time a new issue is released and I just wonder are they trolling or that tense. But maybe I'm just a dumb-dumb who sometimes enjoys this "trash". Who knows.
It's totally fine to be disappointed with this series, it has problems, but to just say that's it's the worst thing ever just feels wrong to me.
I liked everything that was offered here.
Gleason please come back to ASM. I miss you there, your art is amazing.
Eyo! WTF!
THE DEVIL IN HELL!
The Hand have made Matt Murdock's life a living hell for years, but as Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto enter the crescendo of their critically acclaimed and chart-topping run, the villainous cadre of ninja may have finally gone too far, pushing Matt and every relationship he has to their breaking points.
Rated T+
"The End of the Spider-Verse" continues! Spider-Man has changed. His powers are super-charged, enabling him to be the best Spider-Man he can be...
...but can his all-too-human body take it? A classic Spider-Villain is back and doesn't care if Spidey has his hands full.

It's literally crazy how amazing this series is.
MOON KNIGHT & VENOM FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE!
The Midnight Mission is open to all travelers by night who need aid...even if they're host to the super-symbiote VENOM! When Dylan Brock asks Moon Knight for help, the two must stalk the nighttime streets together in search of justice!
Rated T+
MacKay's Black Cat is always a joy, although this series has struggled with the fact that "Felicia can't work up the courage to tell MJ she's dating her ex" never really carried weight as the central drama of the mini. It was hard to get invested in that because I couldn't bring myself to expect that MJ (who has herself long since moved on) would actually be mad about it. Still, Felicia & MJ fightmore
Your new favorite comic book reaches the climactic conclusion of its first arc! WHAT SECRETS WILL BE REVEALED?! And will Felicia and Mary Jane's relationship EVER recover once they are?!

The art and story combine to form a masterful comic. When a book has that big event feel but only runs through it's own title and maybe one other, it's quality. This is the way I would love to see Spider-man written in ASM by the way ;)
A TURNING POINT! With Elektra at his side, Matt Murdock has launched his most ambitious campaign against injustice EVER, but as recent explosive and destructive events have unfolded, he has found himself more and more isolated - and with fewer allies than ever before?

Pretty much nothing happened, Wells is stalling and Romita is not at his best, let's see how the next issue goes
Witness what brought Peter Parker and Norman Osborn together.
Your opinion of who the hero is and who the villain is may end up at least blurred...

Issue is ok. Thats it.
The outrage brigade was to be expected and I forsee all issues regardless of their quality getting review bombed here.
Not as good as last issue but there's still stuff to like.

It's a very enjoyable ride. No matter what you think of current state of ASM, this book still shines. And that is all thanks to Jed and the amazing artists he worked with on this.
