We just tried this Peter who refuses to talk to anyone in the filler arc when he filled in for Dr. Strange and at the start of the Wells arc. It didn’t work those two times but here we are again. Peter would never do that to MJ.
Loved that JRJR wasn’t the artist.

I can buy depression given what he experienced, I can buy him being in a major mental crisis. The moment the X-men don’t have it under control and May is in danger, if he doesn’t go help I can keep buying it. We are walking a very thin line.

The runs just been fine the whole time so far. I didn’t love how quickly Elementary is catching on, so I liked the fumble at the end.
Why the handlebar mustache though?

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?
Not completely sure how I feel about this one. The revelation on the closing pages and the following reaction doesn’t sit well with me. It fits with what the story is trying to tell, but I don’t know that I truly believe that’s how Batman would react.
Overall I did enjoy the run, it had its highs and lows. It wasn’t the best Batman run ever but still decent to solid.
With the Court of Owls' plan revealed and the city in chaos, Batman must fid the strength to fight a war on multiple fronts and save Gotham from disaster. The fates of Jim Gordon, the Riddler, and all of Gotham rest in the hands of the Dark Knight in a climactic issue so big it takes two superstar artists to bring it to life!

It was good, but the placement was weird. I feel like this should’ve been the 3rd issue since this is only a mini series.

Unfortunately nothing is going to change while Nick Lowe remains editor of this comic. I know this is old news but it's truly unbelievable how far Marvel have allowed this flagship book to tank in quality. Big and extensive changes are needed, but I feel like we've been saying the same thing for years.

Wow I'm not surprised you are absolutely right about Nick Lowe. Its not old news people should keep calling out how they are tarnishing Spidey still to this very day. Kudos to you for still sticking with ASM. I dropped it after #63 declaring ASM dead for me lol
I stopped buying it during Wells' run. I'm only following it via review copies. Some of the recent issues I couldn't even finish reading. It's a shadow of what it used to be.
