Madelyn Pryor has a backup stored by Charles xavier. The x men are currently being genocided, xavier has gone awol and they almost cortisol didnf have a backup of bens memories. Thats not a plot hole.

Sometimes I think Ive become too critical or jaded with 616 Spider-Man comics, as I feel the main title has been suffering for so long. Then we get a miniseries by JMS or JM Dematteis and its fantastic. This is the Spider-Man I know and love. If only JMS was on the main title.

Captain America #10
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM!
When a change agent on Captain America's recruitment list finds him, Cap expects the Front Door Cabaret's protection to be an easy sell. Instead, he's confronted by a critical question: How do you protect someone who doesn't want your help?

Immortal Thor #12
GODSDEATH!
In Andlang, land of spirits, the Utgard-Odin challenged Thor to battle for the rune of his brother, the war god Tyr. For Tyr was changed by strange forces, within and without...and to restore him would come only at equal cost. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...and the Odinson's end.

Nothing is okay.
This issue is so shocking and troubling we can't even show you the cover!

Ultimate Spider-Man #6
THE SHOCKING CONCLUSION OF THE ULTIMATE OPENING ARC!
Spider-Man must finally confront the head honcho himself: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin! Kingpin, as owner and operator of the Daily Bugle, has been working with the Maker's Council to control the spread of information in their favor... Which means he's the first domino that must be toppled to end...
This issue wasn't as bad as usual, but the status quos of Mary Jane and Ben Reilly are still very frustrating and leave a bad taste, even if the story is more compelling than usual.
I still don't get why Spider-Man and the X-Men didn't give Ben his memories back in Dark Web like they did for Madelyne Pryor. It's such a big plot hole that it makes the Chasm stuff seem really forced.
Amazing Spider-Man #47
After the events of WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #1, Chasm is on the loose! Spider-Man better track down his erstwhile clone and Hallows' Eve ASAP! We're getting closer to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50!

They weren't being genocided during Dark Web. At the end of Dark Web, Jean shared her memories with Madelyne to help her. All Jean needed to do was share Peters memories with Ben so Ben could "remember" his early life and Uncle Ben etc. Exactly the same way Jean shared her memories with Madelyne. It's a huge plot hole.
Honestly I don't even think its about the memories anymore and more about that Peter didn't help Ben at all; wasn't ben already in limbo by the time Jean was helping Madelyne?
Wonder Woman character was created and introduced in All-Star Comics as a character to raise up and unite American people. Now we have CIA's Tom King using the DC Comics issue almost as a parody level of absurdity of targeted hate based on race, gender, and religion. If the roles were different, the DC Comics published tract would be labeled as a "hate crime" piece. But as it is, CIA Tom King's ef more

Wow respect for this review and also respect to the comments who bring up some valid points for the story.
Avengers: Twilight #5
America and democracy are under attack! Can THE AVENGERS of tomorrow save a country from itself, as their greatest enemy dismantles everything CAPTAIN AMERICA holds dear? It's a battle decades in the making, and no one is safe!
Rated T+
The story is fine but it's hard to care about the Hood. Replacing Johnny Blaze with the Hood just seems like a surefire way to lose money to me...
Also, since when can Mephisto just remove Ghost Rider from Johnny Blaze? Since when could the spirit just up and leave, going from host to host? Did the Ghost Rider lore just completely change off-panel?
Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #2
THE NEW GHOST RIDER!
There's a new Spirit of Vengeance in town and he's looking to run the place. There will be no stopping THIS rider. The mystery of Johnny Blaze's disappearance continues!
Rated T+
A decent issue, although I'm not sure it was necessary to have this outside the main comic. It also doesn't really progress the plot at all. It continues Hulk's monster-of-the-week theme where he battles a demon on a train.
Giant-Size: Hulk #1
THE ONLY WAY TO CONTAIN THE HULK...IS IN A GIANT-SIZE STORY! Riding the rails is no walk in the park - especially for the INCREDIBLE HULK! And particularly when something - no, someONE - has been stolen from him by a gruesome new threat with evil machinations in mind. Clear the tracks - the HULK is coming through!!!

A decent issue and vastly superior to the current run of Amazing Spider-Man. I'm enjoying the relationship between Peter and Miles and their friends at the Coffee shop. There is also a pretty intriguing mystery going on where people are getting their hearts desires. The mystery seems to have something to do with the Jackal and clones, and I'm also seeing some clues towards maybe Arcade being invol more
The Spectacular Spider-Men #2
"ARACHNOBATICS" CONTINUES!
Surprising anyone who knows Peter Parker (but probably not those who know Miles Morales), the Spider-Men have been keeping up their weekly meetup at the Coffee Bean! Sadly, that hasn't given them any insight into the machinations of the Jackal!!! And what do all these mysterious interludes add up to?
Rated T
Another good issue from the Ultimate line. The only problem is that barely anything happened. It was still enjoyable though, and it's nice to see more of this universes Storm and Killmonger.
Ultimate Black Panther #3
ENTER...STORM AND KILLMONGER!
Black Panther takes matters into his own hands and embarks on a covert solo mission to deal with Ra and Khonshu directly! Wakanda's conflict with Moon Knight has escalated. Even with spies all across the continent feeding information, Wakanda is overwhelmed. Everything changes, though, when a pair of freedom fight...
Tom King masterfully weaves a subversive and thought-provoking narrative that delves deep into the psyches of Diana and The Sovereign. King's character work is nothing short of impressive, as he expertly explores the intricacies of Diana's willpower and The Sovereign's twisted ideology.
One of the standout aspects of this issue is King's bold & unflinching examination of religion as a t

I'm really enjoying this Wonder Woman run by Tom King. I think he's doing a fantastic job and the art is amazing.
This issue has Diana captured by the Sovereign, who has her ensnared in his Lasso of Lies where he uses quotes from the Bible to keep her submissive to him. She's manipulated into thinking she is a housewife subservient to her husband.
I get that, in this politica

Story is fine, and the art is great.
Titans #10
The Titans are committed to helping humanity, whether humanity believes in them or not. The team is fighting on several fronts, but they refuse to back down. They refuse to buckle under overwhelming pressure. But are the Titans being manipulated? Are they on the wrong side of a conflict that could consume the world?
This is the best series that Jason Aaron has written since his Thor run. I was skeptical of the premise of Batman in space, but it works really well and actually makes sense. Why wouldn't Batman want to be prepared for alien attacks?
The supporting cast of Ione and Punchbot are also great new additions to the DC universe, and the art is fantastic.
Batman: Off-World #4
In a faraway, war-torn galaxy, Batman sets his sights on the villainous Blakksun Mining Company. But standing in his way is the most ruthless bounty hunter in the universe, a man known only as the Thanagarian.
Absolutely brilliant!
This continues from the recent Thor issues where Roxxon is using a Thor comic to change the narrative of Thor. Since gods are dependent on the stories about them, Thor is being effected by the shifting perspective of his character.
This Thor comic is presented by Roxxon. It shows a hilarious corporate sponsored Thor who advertises Roxxon products while saving

The X-Men titles are really going for quantity over quality at the moment. Another dull title from the Fall of X line.

Prodigy, Dazzler, Frenzy, Cannonball and Jubilee have gone farther and have risked more than any X-Men team before. Now, at the end of everything, the final fate of Krakoa rests on these five mutants. Will the Dead X-Men save the seed of the future...or kill it before it can even be planted?
