They're really hyping AC#1035 this week twitter.com/i/web/status/1442153668766208002I'm calling it: Lois is going to end up pregnant somehow after this. That's why PKJ was so shy on explaining what Lois will be up to when she returns to Action Comics eventually. |

4Chan have leaked several more pages from ASM Bye Bye BND Harry. He's killed by the Kindreds Gabe and Sarah. As he dies in Peter's arms he tells his friend that this is how it's supposed to be. Last page is Peter and MJ having a smooch perched on top of a building mast with the caption "Unbreakable" |

Action Comics was a basic filler, culminating in Lois and Clark having sex in the air, Clark departs with The Authority, heading to Warworld. Beast Boy Loves Raven was harmless angst-free fluff that carried on the continuity of previous OG novels. Damien Wayne made his debut and fell for Raven's half-sister. Gar and Raven don't really have any conflict in the story, not even when Raven releases her father in order to save Gar. Superman '78#2 establishes that the Richard Lester cut of Superman II is canon to this universe, Clark uses the cellophane S Checkmate#4  |

Robin continues to be the better Super-Sons title as Damian dominates the tournament while also growing chemistry with Flatline. Said character also gets her origin fleshed out as she was an apprentice of Lord Death-man.
Deathstroke Inc. Is off to a great start. Slade has joined T.R.U.S.T. as he feels like he's getting weary over his constant back & fourth on his allegiance & decides to now try playing a hero with Black Canary being his watchful eye. Although T.R.U.S.T. doesn't appear to be on the up & up as it seems they have more nefarious goals planned.
We get a view on what's to come such as Slade vs Sinestro Corps, The Return of Prometheus's Crooked house, & Rematch against Damian with him exclaiming "You Killed him" (Wonder who exactly? Please be Jon.)

Amazing Spider-Man#875
Those looking forward to more resolution to OMD are going to be disappointed. Other than learning Mayday will be the one to defeat Mephisto in the future, we don't get much more than that. Peter and MJ don't learn of the deal, but at least they still end the issue as an 'unbreakable' couple, so there is fresh hope Mayday will come to pass.
Doctor Strange's game with Mephisto isn't to reclaim Peter's soul, but to free Harry from the devil and put a stop to Kindred, who are revealed to have always been the Stacy Twins, they weren't possessed by Harry at all. Mephisto tortured both Sarah and Gabriel's souls in hell each time they died and corrupted them into being his demonic lackeys. The Harry Osborn A.I is also revealed to be have been Mephisto all along (yes, Mephisto disguised himself as a computer)
BND Harry reveals to Carlie that he was a clone the entire time, he equips himself with the goblin glider and pumpkin bombs and heads off to confront the Kindreds. He helps Peter, Norman, and MJ against them but is eventually killed.
Strange's gamble pays off and Harry's soul is finally freed...the Kindreds are released from Mephisto's control and they degenerate and die
Epilogue is Ben Reily picking up his love interest Elizabeth Tyne from prison, the Beyond corporation having arranged for her release to ensure Ben stays loyal to them

Well I hate to say I told you so regarding OMD being undone but I did. I mean for the most part Peter & MJ are back together again & with the phrase "unbreakable" we are in a right direction regardless.
Part of me does wonder how long Norman's change will last. Eventually Green Goblin will return the question is how will he?
I'm a little lost on the Ben Reilly portion given I know next to bill about his solo as Spider-man. So what is Elizabeth Tyne's deal?

Eventually Green Goblin will return the question is how will he? I'm a little lost on the Ben Reilly portion given I know next to bill about his solo as Spider-man. So what is Elizabeth Tyne's deal? Elizabeth was Ben's lover during his first exile, she didn't appear in the regular books during the Clone Saga, but did turn up in mini-series, notably "The Lost Years" and "Redemption". "The Lost Years" covered how she and Ben met. As a young girl she shot and killed her abusive father and went on the run, and met Ben while working under the alias Janine Godbe. Eventually, authorities tracked her down and tried to arrest her, but Ben protected her and they went on the road together. Eventually, Kaine, at the time wanting Ben to suffer, tracked her down and told her to fake a suicide or he'd come back and kill Ben. So Elizabeth did as asked, and left Ben. Fast forward to "Redemption" and she came back into Ben's life while he was Spider-Man. After battling Kaine, Ben asked Elizabeth to run away with him again, but she decided to turn herself in and face up to her crimes. That was the last we saw of her, and that was back in 1996. In the MC2 Spider-Girl timeline, Elizabeth went to prison while expecting Ben's child. A son was born that she named Reilly Tyne. To cut the story short, Reilly would go on to become the demonic vigilante Darkdevil after Kaine tried to save him from cellular degeneration by making a deal with a demon, which led to Matt Murdock fusing his soul with Reilly. |

Jordan White's regular X-Men Monday interview reveals more about the circumstance of Johathan Hickman stepping back from the X-Titles after Inferno. He says Hickman tying things up at this stage was entirely down to him changing his mind as the story played out, the 'three-act plan' was often referred to as three-year plan, but Hickman wasn't sure when the first year would end, and it could even take a whole decade to sell that act if Marvel wanted to. Hickman has mapped out the next three years of the story at the recent X-Summit, and the original title for "Inferno" will be used at a later date. bleedingcool.com/comics/jonathan-hickman-departure-from-x-men-explained/ |

Amazing Spider-Man#75
Peter is still reeling from the loss of Harry. He has a nightmare involving Uncle Ben and heads off to the Goddard building to relax and web swing, when he bumps into Ben, who's on a test run for his employees at Beyond. Not wanting Beyond to eavesdrop in case Peter starts talking to him openly about his secrets, Ben flees with Peter in pursuit, with Peter getting more and more hot at him. Ben eventually uses his gadgets to trap Peter and escapes.
Later, Ben tracks Peter down and they have a coffee. Ben admits he is the new Spider-Man and tells Peter Beyond have acquired the rights and licence to use the Spider-Man name after acquiring it as an asset from what remains of Parker Industries. Ben proposes to Peter that together they can do a lot of good with Beyond. Peter tells Ben he can't just ask for a piece of his life like this, Ben says he isn't asking.
Peter goes home to Mary Jane, and they talk about the hurt both are feeling over Harry's loss. MJ urges Peter to take time off, Peter tells her he met up with Ben Reilly, MJ has a bad feeling about him.
Eventually, the U-Foes attack Empire State University, both Spider-Men battle them, until one of them releases a radio-volatile gas explosion. Ben's suit protects him, but Peter is not so fortunate and is poisoned.

You know it's always funny how there's some kind of copyright whenever it comes to certain superheroes in universe but some heroes using the name are just not brought up.
Like I doubt he'll be brought up but one wonders how Miles would be effected with the Beyond stuff.....am looking forward to seeing the explanation on what Ben's been up to since Spider-geddon.
Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary had some neat stories. Most important one to me was the checking in on Steve & Etta as they discuss the documentary on Diana's life before she went "MIA" after Death Metal. There's also an ok Tom King story about Clark & Diana's relationship mostly boiling down to being friends.
