Wholesome content. And really nice to have Juan Cabal back on art!
We haven't seen Mary Jane Watson since #1, but that's about to change with this almost ALL-MJ issue!
MJ saves Spidey, helps Aunt May and basically saves the day.
Face it, readers, you just hit the jackpot.

Bring on the Bad Guys
• The climactic end of arc 2 puts Spider-Man face to face with a villain who's been secretly plaguing the Marvel Universe since WWII!
• This villain weaponizes pain and uses Spider-Man's painful history to threaten the Web-Slinger like never before!
Rated T
I'm not sure I buy Marnie's backstory about being a love interest of Steve Rogers. Just seems weird to all of a sudden decide that she was a big part of a major character's history but was never once seen or referenced until now. That kind of thing creates continuity nightmares.
That said, I'm still enjoying how Taylor writes Spidey, so I'm willing to suspend my disbelief.
A terrifying new villain is causing major problems for Spider-Man and his neighborhood. What does he want with your favorite wall-crawler? PLUS: The secret history of THE RUMOR!
Rated T
• When things go nuts at the F.E.A.S.T. Center, it leaves Aunt May FURIOUS, and no one rests when Aunt May is angry.
• So Spider-Man has to kick an investigation into high gear into the Prowler and what he's up to!
• Peter has a lot of skills, but he is no Sherlock Holmes. The World's Worst Detectiv...
Thank you Alan Moore (and artists). This was one of the most satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable comic runs I have ever read. A beautiful end to an absolute masterpiece of a series.
Swamp Thing has returned home to Abby and tells her about his long, strange journey through space. After discussing the past, the only question remains is what to do about the future. This marks the final issue of legendary writer Alan Moore's critically acclaimed run!
• As seen in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #15, Aunt May is reopening the F.E.A.S.T. Center to help the homeless and needy of New York City!
• But things are rarely as simple as that in the Marvel Universe as F.E.A.S.T. and the new funding May has secured to try to make her dream a reality is under attack by...THE PROWLER?!
• Has Hobie Br...
Oof, right in the feels...
• The neighborhood, and the planet, is doomed. Spider-Man is powerless to stop the end of the world. Only Earth's Newest and Mightiest Hero, Spider-Bite, can save the day.
• Wait, WHAT?!
Rated T
• A bomb drops on Peter's world when Aunt May finally fesses up to Peter about what's happening.
• Don't miss this special issue!
Rated T
• Spider-Man fights foes that live eighteen miles beneath Earth's surface, but he doesn't fight alone!
• If Spider-Man and his mysterious ally survive and make it back topside, they're going to need the whole neighborhood to chip in!
Rated T
I'm enjoying this a surprising amount so far. Tom Taylor writes a really great Spider-Man.
• Spider-Man heads to a part of the Marvel Universe that you've never seen before!
• It's always fun to see Spider-Man out of his element. Well, for YOU, anyway. Spidey doesn't agree.
• And when "out of his element" is in a place that doesn't support human life? Uh-oh!
Rated T

Fantastic. Man I'm not ready for this run to end...this has been one of the most consistently excellent comic runs I've ever had the joy of reading.
Swamp Thing finally arrives back on Earth. But before he reunites with Abby, there are some loose ends he needs to take care -namely the villains responsible for this earlier, untimely demise!

PHOENIX vs MAGIK!
Things are heating up in Momoko's Marvel Universe! The spirit world is divided. Its inhabitants, strange creatures called yokai, have chosen sides, and the two factions are on the brink of all-out war. A bird-like yokai who wields some serious firepower faces off against a club-wielding demon. Mariko Yashida finds herself righ...
The story here was a bit confusing, but I loved the art.
Swamp Thing's journey brings him to the seat of gods--the New Gods, that is. While observing the Source Wall, Metron's Mobius chair runs out of energy, and the only one who can help is Swamp Thing.

“OLD MAN LOGAN” Part 6 (of 8) Logan and Hawkeye reach New Babylon to deliver their mysterious cargo. But before they get there—they’ll have to face their toughest challenge to date: a Venom Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Logan owes the Hulk Gang. So Logan's agreed to a crazy ride across America with the blind archer, Hawkeye, to deliver a package to the East Coast...but only if Logan and Hawkeye can make it past-the GHOST RIDERS.
MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN (CIVIL WAR) bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened the night the heroes fell. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery.
IRON SAMURAI VS. SHIELD OF JUSTICE!
Mariko Yashida is torn between two worlds: the human world and the yokai dimensionstrange world filled with stranger creatures. The denizens of the yokai dimension need Mariko's help to stop a war that's brewing between two factions, one led by the Iron Samurai and his spider-like ally, and the other by a shi...
I thought this was bloody brilliant. What a horrifying start to this issue with Swamp Thing making a body out of hundreds of sentient plant beings...and what an incredible idea. Even this late in his run, Moore is still coming up with fresh ways to surprise and horrify.
Swamp Thing arrives on J586, but as he begins to create his form, he doesn't realize all plant life on the planet happens to be sentient. It's up to one person to save Swamp Thing and the people of the planet: the Green Lantern!
I enjoyed this, but I felt like the connections to Marvel comics weren't as strong as they were in Demon Days, though I'm assuming there will be more in the coming issues. Not overly eventful, but as always Momoko's art is beautiful to look at.
Journey into the imagination of STORMBREAKER PEACH MOMOKO with DEMON WARS!
Peach takes her version of the Marvel Universe to the next level by transporting readers to another dimension - one filled with wondrous creatures: sentient samurai armor, a winged individual in a falcon mask, a mysterious panther person and a red, snakelike monster with...
A fairly predictable but beautifully illustrated end to this chapter of Mariko's story. I knew what I was getting into when I started reading this...I knew the story and dialogue would likely be so-so but the art would be gorgeous, and that's exactly what I got, and I am 100% okay with it. It was a fun time!
THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE DEMON DAYS SAGA!
At the end of the road, Mariko Yashida finally meets the one who's been hunting her: a silver-clad swordswoman named Ogin, who's also Mariko's sister! Will Mariko have to cross blades with her own flesh and blood, or will Ogin's giant, green bodyguard smash Mariko to pieces first? The stakes are hi...
I *think* that I *kinda* followed what was *maybe* going on in this issue...*sorta*. I will admit, this was almost too much for me, but I think I liked it. It was a TRIP. But it was a mesmerizing and thoroughly engrossing trip. At least I think it was...
While on route to Minraud (where Adam Strange advised him to go in issue #58), Swamp Thing is intercepted by a cybernetic spaceship being--who forces him to father her offspring. This special issue is completely narrated in poetic prose.
This issue was beyond stunning. A visual masterpiece. The story was interesting, albeit a little unoriginal. But there are few pages in any comic that have held my gaze for so long as some of the ones in this book. I just spent long minutes staring at them, captivated.
THERE’S NO CALM BEFORE THIS STORM! Mariko Yashida’s journey through the mysterious forest of Kirisaki Mountain has brought her face-to-face with strange and terrible creatures. But she’s about to be tested like never before when she crosses paths with literal gods! You won’t want to miss this electrifying showdown in part FOUR of FIVE of th...
Another gorgeous, fascinating issue. I found the story and dialogue took a slight step down in this one, but the art was strong as ever, and we got some good action too.
SPIDERS AND WOLVES AND YOKAI... OH MY!
Mariko Yashida journeys deep into a dark forest to find answers about her past. Instead, she finds a magical wolf with three toes and a strange girl with a pet spider.
