Picked this one up randomly and was really pleased at how easily I could follow the action with no other context.

Spider-Man 2099 #5

By: Peter David, Rick Leonardi

Spider-Man falls under (literal) fire with the Public Eye, a terrorizing group of thugs that claim to fight in the public's defense. But who exactly does the Public Eye work for? And who is upholding the law in the crooked streets of New York?

THE END OF THE LINE!

It's a cool little side adventure and overview of Strange's encounters with Death. It felt like it was missing something, but I can't put my finger on what. I like what it added to the Infinity War main event

That's the question facing Jessica Jones, as what seemed like a routine investigation instead has her encountering other incarnations of herself from across the Multiverse. Can Jessica ...

ENTER IRON MAN!
Captain Carter has plenty on her hands already, wrestling with a betrayal from the very organization she thought she could trust. Is Tony Stark here to help? Or will he be just another complication at a time when Peggy's life is full of them?

I really enjoyed this. It felt like it connected the world of 1940's Cap with present day and then challenged the entire system of beliefs that he stood for. It was a robust length that I was really happy for because it allowed the story to roll out at a leisurely pace. Looking forward to more!

"The shield isn't what you think. It's not your symbol. It's theirs."
The shield is one of the most iconic images in the world. It stands for hope, justice and the protection of the innocent. It also holds a secret, undiscovered until now, that will change the way Steve Rogers views the 20th century...and how he chooses to fight in the 21st.

This was exciting and fun, even just on its own, without reading the preceding or subsequent issues. The only minor eye-rolly part couldn't be helped at the time. Carnage's sass is very very 90's (...NOT!!) which is funny in a way but kind of subverts the terror he would normally invoke

Amazing Spider-Man #362

Needing all the help he can get to take out Carnage, Spider-Man recruits good friend Johnny Storm. But will Venom be a willing ally too? Spidey and the Human Torch go the deserted island where Venom lies in wait. Will Eddie Brock be the key to eliminating Carnage?
