I like the idea of Hickman having Peter Parker sacrifice his future so he can stay with Mary Jane and her unborn child. It fits the idea of Spider-Man so well. But again, i wished Hickman did more with this idea, and it's strange on how Peter doesn't have strong relationships with anyone outside of Mary Jane. Like, can anyone tell me one memorable moment between UNCLE BEN and Peter?

This was just full of wonderful stories that made me smile. What an amazing issue.

This finally starts to feel more and more like an event. But there are too many players, when X-Men and Killmonger enter the picture as well.
As for losing Potential-Man, it's... whatever. Camp writes him well, especially the letter, but his whole role seems so pointless and in retrospect, makes USM even worse in my eyes. Like Potential-Man really did nothing.
Ultimate Endgame #3
THE END OF THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE DRAWS NEAR! Inside the Maker's City, a desperate group of heroes battles the terrifying Children of Tomorrow and discover some surprising allies! While outside the City, the Ultimates and other heroes of the Ultimate Universe must deal with the unspeakable power that has just been unleashed! With shocking twists, pa...
It's fine, but this is losing me a bit. Carnage is stealing the show and while it's nice, Torment loses his impact.
And why are they trying to pair MJ and Flash...
Amazing Spider-Man #25
UNRELENTING TORMENT… DEATH SPIRAL PART FIVE! …for Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage leads to the most unexpected team-up in Spidey History! But even if Spidey wins, he may still lose…because Torment learns not one, but two shocking truths about his foes!

The Mortal Thor #8
THE SON OF THOR! Magni was the God of Strength and strong enough to refuse the rule of the Golden Realm. Yet even so, he could be hurt. For there came a day when two great friends went to battle in a land far from Asgard's light...and only one returned. This is the story of the SON OF THOR...and the day his great heart broke.
This just continues to work for me so well. I am interested to see more!
Amazing Spider-Man #24
CARNAGE MEETS ITS MATCH!? DEATH SPIRAL PART FOUR! Carnage faces off against Torment while the serial killer's latest murder leaves the Spidey-Symbiote Alliance shaken.
It's just good time.
Black Cat #8
CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE, VENOM?! What was supposed to be a simple smash and grab for BLACK CAT and VENOM takes a nosedive into the COSMICALLY AND CATACLYSMICALLY FLARKED. Probably because they're smashing and grabbing from the most heavily guarded place in the Multiverse. But this one's personal for Mary Jane and Felicia, and the cat and the sinister s...
Absolute Batman #18
After the explosive reveal ending last issue, and Batman continues to fight Poison Ivy's mutated monsters and winds up uncovering an even more gruesome horror that has embedded itself in the city's very foundations. All while the Joker's machinations start to coalesce in a partnership with a new ally.
Consistent tone, solid writing and intriguing ending makes this a very good third part to this crossover. Can't wait to see what is next.
Venom #255
THE SECRET IS OUT! DEATH SPIRAL PART THREE! After the shocking events of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #23, Spider-Man and the All-New Venom have some serious talking to do... But first they've got to solve the one murder neither of them - or their villains - ever expected to face! Meanwhile, EDDIE BROCK is back...with a CARNAGE-sized secret of his own, and a...
If I had a nickel for every time the first big crossover of new ASM is horror related, with second issue marketed as Spider-Man vs Venom fight, drawn by Ed McGuinness and having Eddie as red murderous symbiote, I would have two nickels. That's not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
This was pretty good. Something felt a bit off, I dunno. Ed's work is amazing, and I was surpris

Amazing Spider-Man #23
SHOCKED BY THE SINISTER SYMBIOTE! DEATH SPIRAL PART TWO! CARNAGE. KNOWS. Which means SPIDEY and VENOM team up again to stop the serial killer-symbiote. But instead of EDDIE BROCK, Peter uncovers another bombshell beneath Venom's mask - MARY JANE WATSON! And that's just the first SHOCKING REVELATION of this issue! Carnage isn't the only problem…Pete...
Batman #7
As Batman is beckoned to Arkham Towers by the mysterious man in Room Ten, nothing will prepare him for who he finds there. Some might call him the Caped Crusader’s archnemesis. Others might call him Batman’s best friend. Everyone calls him the Joker.
Infernal Hulk #4
INTO THE HULKSCAPE As the Infernal Hulk's Age of Monsters rages across the globe, the INCREDIBLE Hulk is effectively dead, his consciousness locked away in the brutal depths of the Hulkscape. But Hulk discovers he's not alone… his previous alters are locked in with him, as well as the countless victims and vessels of ELDEST. Could one of the Hulks ...
Better than the Endgame series.
Ultimates #21
LUKE CAGE AND THE NEW AVENGERS! The New Avengers, led by Luke Cage, take on the Maker's Council! Prisoners turned super-powered heroes thanks to the heroic catalysts reclaimed from the Maker…in an all-out brawl across the globe!

THE HAVOK OF EDWARD HYDE! Sigurd Jarlson is alive and on the run...but he has a weakness his enemies can exploit. He has his neighbors, his friends - and maybe more than friends. And the man called Mr. Hyde knows it. Somewhere in the city, a man with a hammer is on a rescue mission...
I liked it. Short and simple. And very interested to see what happens next.
Amazing Spider-Man / Venom: Death Spiral #1
FIRST YOUR FRIENDS. THEN YOUR FAMILY. THEN YOU. The next epic SPIDER-MAN and VENOM crossover starts here and continues through April! A new super-powered serial killer is on the loose and they're coming for Spidey, Venom and everyone in between. But what terrible secret has CARNAGE learned, and what does it have to do with Spider-Man?!
It honestly stings that I could not enjoy this series as much as everyone, and it seems that I am a contrarian to this issue. It honestly feels like a story that nothing happens. it is honestly strange on how Hickman has the concept of Peter Parker being married with kids, and he does nothing about it. I understand that it's normal for solicitions to have fake cover and fake news, but when the iss more
