Yeah, I hated this finale. I feel like it's such a betrayal of what that first issue promised, and how it resonated with so many readers. The first issue resonated with me because it spoke to this collective sense that our lives are not our own, that there are forces outside of our control that have directly or indirectly changed the course of all our lives for the worse. In the years since, this more

Ultimate Spider-Man #24
THE END OF THE LINE! This is it, folks - the last you'll see of Spidey and his Ultimate friends by Jonathan Hickman & Marco Checchetto! That's all we can tell you!
It's pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable enough. I am willing to continue reading this, feels much better than previous run.

I like it otherwise, but Ivy becoming the Mayor just sorta happens. I get it happens in her book, but if you don't read that, it just comes out of nowhere here.

Batman #8
A hero. A villain. A reporter. Three old men, on one night in Gotham, each have encounters that will reverberate across their city forever. Series writer Matt Fraction is joined by sensational guest artist Ryan Sook for an unforgettable new chapter of the Caped Crusader’s ongoing story.
It's alright and it's nice something finally happens to move the plot forward.

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.

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...

The Mortal Thor #8

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

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.
