Peter's back to being on the bottom, but at least he's got a friend to work stuff out with. Another excellent issue that wraps up some nice loose ends that have been dangling for a minute, while also setting up for a coming change in Parker's world. Immonen needs to never leave this book.

THE FALL OF PARKER Part 2
Down on your luck Peter Parker is back, for good or ill. New York has changed, and so has Peter - but entering a new phase of his Spider-Man life isn't easy; neither are new relationships OR new foes. Peter Parker is not the Spider-Man you remember, but why is he taking his fight to THE DAILY BUGLE? And what happened t...
Really great issue. The Orphans of X are intense with the torture and the weird family setting. Daken is always welcome. Gabby is funny. The mystery of what exactly is going on its intriguing. Can't wait for next month.

ORPHANS OF X Part 2
The mysterious and deadly ORPHANS OF X continue to unfold their terrible plan for LAURA and those close to her...but how are they connected to WOLVERINE? And what do they know about LAURA and her past? Also featuring the charismatic and deadly son of Logan - DAKEN!

It's nice to see some plot threads, like the team challenging Robin's leadership or Robin's teaming up with the Green Arrow, are picked up and referenced here. It gives the book a nice sense of continuity. The introduction of the Red Arrow and Kid Flash as new potential members of the team is pretty exciting, and the conflict at the end will be fun to see them all resolve.
Teen Titans #13
"HARD TARGET"! Still recovering from the events of DARK DAYS: METAL, the Teen Titans decide they need a day off...but their plans are soon interrupted when the one and only Green Arrow demands that his younger sister Emiko join the team! Are the Teen Titans about to get a new member? Or will Emiko Queen be Damian's undoing?

The revelation of Dr. Alba's plan and how insanely fucked up it is is pretty dark and I enjoyed it. It was nice to see more of the title team working together since we get so little of the 3 back up characters, but Laura, as much as I love her, is still drawing attention away from a team that we already have had very little time with. I'm enjoying the direction the Weapon H story is going now, but more

Weapon X (2017)
Decades ago, the Weapon X program produced the deadliest mutant killers on the planet. Now, with more research, more funding and more Adamantium at its disposal, the Weapon X program is creating new killers for old targets: Old Man Logan. Sabretooth. Lady Deathstrike. Weapon X isn't just experimenting on mutants anymore...it's eradicating them. All...
David's dialogue in these last two issues is seriously atrocious. I'm not sure if he's just phoning it in but why is Ben suddenly using British slang? It's just so stilted that it prevents me from enjoying the story, which is actually starting to get interesting with Ricochet's addition to the mix. Bagley's art is great as always, but not enough to make up for the poor writing.
Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider #9
There's a new Hornet in the skies over Las Vegas, but his identity remains a mystery! Who's pulling his strings, and what's their connection to the Scarlet Spider?
And will anyone from his past have anything to say about it?

Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider
One of the most controversial characters in comics has returned - and the controversy has only BEGUN! In the aftermath of THE CLONE CONSPIRACY, Ben has a new take on life...and he's not the same Scarlet Spider he was before. Come witness what will be the most talked about comic of the year!

An interesting study in what regret is and how we overcome it. Both Angel and Illyria (and Fred) have differing ideas in how to deal with regret, but here is Angel's biggest regret playing out in front of him. No flashy monsters to beat here, just world ending decisions being averted. Angel's forced sacrifice in comparison to Illyria's emotional catharsis she received by changing history earlier more
Angel Season 11 #10
Having forced a weakened Illyria to transport him to the time right before his own siring, Angel is determined to make a change-a change that could challenge his own existence. Deaf to the reasoning of Fred and Illyria, will this friend and goddess be able to stop the guilt-ridden vampire? And should they?
Everything is working out a little too well for our heroes in this Mojoverse. Back to back with Gold the way this arc is, the art really can't hold a candle to its sister series. The twist at the end was a little interesting but honestly I'm ready for this crossover to be done with.
X-Men: Blue #14
MOJO WORLDWIDE! Part 4
Continuing from X-MEN GOLD #14, JEAN GREY and her team fight side by side with KITTY PRYDE and her team! But can MOJO be defeated when he's got the power of history on his side? It's going to take one unlikely Mojoverse ally to help our heroes out!

Gert's back! Classic Runaways. Very jarring twist ending, followed by another ominous reveal.
Runaways #2
The RUNAWAYS are back, but are they ever, ever, ever getting back together?
Did Chase and Gert's love survive their time apart? Have Karolina and Nico's feelings made their friendship impossible? What emotional land mines lie in wait to DESTROY the Runaways?!
And should we be more worried about those, or about the shadowy scientist wat...
A hilarious one shot that also nods to the background threat looming closer, builds character development, and breaks the fourth wall. What more could you ask for? Also a nice break after a pretty dark and intense first 10 issues.

JEN WALTERS here, asking you to kindly pre-order your copy of HULK #11...or else I'll come into your shop and rip up all of your issues of ASTONISHING X-MEN #1! That last-page reveal won't be so revealing when it's in shreds on the floor...What? No, I'm not deflecting. Yes, the events of the last arc WERE challenging, but I'm fine...Listen, I just ...
A hilarious and sad look at Parker's life now, with some great character building and set up for a good arc that looks to get Peter back to his roots.

While the story is good, Mojo's onslaught of the X-men is so frantic that it's hard to keep up with everything going on, and not enough time is devoted to each group. I'm pretty upset about a certain character's potential being (maybe) squandered too.

MOJO WORLDWIDE Part 2
The X-Men may have bitten off more than they can chew when the Mojoverse continues its bizarre invasion of MANHATTAN!

I hope Rodriguez never stops drawing this story. The Progenitor planet looks trippy and weird, and the set up here is incredible. I still don't understand what future Maximus is up to, nor do I enjoy Medusa/Gorgon.

But even if they find the chemical that will save their dying race...can they escape the revenge of ...
Pretty much perfect, if it wasn't for that ridiculous hidden message in the notes. Really sets up for a nice adventure, and a very good twist means very bad things for the good guys.
Dark Nights: Metal #3
Superman is pulled into the mystery of the Dark Multiverse while the Justice League follows the trail to a weapon that could keep the forces of the Dark Multiverse at bay!
A pretty strong close to the first chapter of this title that I'm honestly surprised is still around. All previous elements were brought back in to play a role, whether they fit into the story naturally or not. It will be interesting what effect this has on Normie when we catch up to everyone eight years later.

• It all comes down to this!
• Normie Osborn vs. the Spider-Family!
• Everything changes after this. Guaranteed.

Great artwork. Decent start to the new Legacy art that ties back into Laura's past. An interesting twist ending I didn't see coming. Less Daken than I was hoping for.

Not the greatest. I wish there was more team building in the actual team, and Laura's inclusion felt extremely unnecessary. Weapon H and Dr. Alba do make for a pretty formidable threat, but I'm ready to move past this Hulkverine stuff.
