Looks like they're not waiting until AC#1004 for the Lois/Clark drama to kick off.
Mary Jane wasn't in ASM#4, strange given how down Peter is for most of the issue, and he even got arrested for illegally paying a parking metre, and Spidey was causing massive damage with the Tri-Sentinel, he even went on talk shows. We got none of that from MJ's perspective? Really Spencer? Also, apparently Aunt May is gambling online and Mendell Strom received an offer from the same demon who recruited Mysterio.

Well time to get thoughts out on the 2 big Fresh Start titles out of the way:
West Coast Avengers: This was a title that I wasn't really looking forward to. Not out of some Malice or anything more so that the book was coming off more as a continuation of Kelly Thompson Hawkeye run than an actual Resurgence for West Coast Avengers of the 80's. Ultimatly though I was plesently surprised at how fun the first issue was. It's witty, comical, & features some pretty out there concepts & on the plus side most of the characters are likeable. Kate comes as her usual self from what little I've read of Thompson's Hawkeye, Clint is his usual Post-Fraction self though he's not a complete joke like the last 2 years supplied him with, America isn't a Incomprehensible Racist Tumblr-child & act's like how she suppose to act: Hardheaded but a normal person, Kid Omega's fine, & Gwenpool's Gwenpool. I'm just not totally sold on Kate's Boyfriend Fuse though that's probably because I hadn't fully read Hawkeye to gauge him properly. Still a step in the right direction for these characters.
Punisher: So after spending his first tenure of Frank in the War Machine armor, Matt Rosenberg begins his Fresh Start with Punisher with a bang. This was pretty awesome opener of Frank doing what he does only this time instead of Mobster's he's going after Hydra even fully declaring war on the group. Highlight for me's the art it really captures the grittiness of Punisher to a tee. Pretty Good all things considered.
Amazing Spider-man: This arc is certainly an interesting way to go about Peter needing Spider-man & vice-versa & it also helps giving me more detail on what the hell Tri-Sentinel really is since I found it the most out of place in Spidey's rogues gallery (& yeah that does include Morlun). I do like the idea of May taking online gambling since this is probably the most interesting thing she's done since the JMS era. Still looking forward to whatever Spencer's got planned for Kraven.
Action Comics: Yeah I definitly am liking this more than Superman. I know street is normally Bendis's wheelhouse but damnit all if it's not working for me. Props to him Bringing Guardian back after......God seriously how long has it been?
Justice League Dark: Well if there's one thing I'm happy about this title it finally answers what the hell happened to Khalid during Rebirth.....Not a particularly good answer but better than nothing I guess. I might stick with this book for awhile after all to see where it goes.

Didn't read moon knight. But nice for it to end at a nice legacy number.

Hey guys got a stupid question. For folks who go for blank covers for sketch works at cons. Does any one know for example the ff relaunch and I believe was the wedding issue for batman. The blank variants had a tissue paper on top of the blank cover. Does any one know if that is removed if it would then affect value of the book if you got it cgc for example.

Marvel had Extermination#2...where young Nate captures Warren and cuts his Black Vortex wings off.
Jessica Jones#2's Spidey-centric cover was clickbait, he and MJ only show up for five pages.
Sue Richards shows up at the end of Two-In-One today
And Lyja, Johnny's former Skrull lover (and wife in MC2 canon), who hasn't been seen in over a decade, turned up in Venom: First Host.

Least this edit didn't sound as bad like what Syaf did a year ago. I mean from what I'm reading it doesn't come from nearly as hostile as that did.

Ya I didn't even know ces was a religious thing. And from Ryan it didn't seem like he was doing it to hurt folks.
