Amazing Spider-Man #1

/ / Comics

A new volume of Amazing Spider-Man begins here falling back on classic Spider-Man tropes. Peter Parker’s life is a mess. His friends feel ignored, Aunt May is disappointed, the super-hero community wants nothing to do with him, he’s without a single job prospect, and MJ is shacking up with some guy and his kids. If it all feels a bit familiar, it’s because it is.

Justice League #75

/ / Comics

Leading into the next Crisis event, this volume of Justice League comes to a close with the core members of the Justice League all killed by Pariah (remember him?) who is under the control of the Great Darkness which wants to destroy everything and give birth to a new Multiverse.

The issue offers exactly what the cover promises in the death of major DC heroes (although I’m not sure how this will impact those with their own monthly titles). We also get cameos from heroes from other worlds, including Captain Carrot, as well an army of villains under the control of the Great Darkness.
