Nomad, Ian Rogers, fulfills his destiny of returning to Dimension Z—the place of his creation—to overthrow White Wolf and take his place as ruler. Doctor Doom, always covetous of other’s powers, steals the Venom symbiote from Eddie Brock in the latest “Lethal Protector” flashback series. Captain Marvel hits 100 points as a parting gift to her series’ conclusion—also fittingly, issue 50 earned a 50-point review score!
Book the Week – Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1 (Review score: 51 Points; 25 Characters). The latest anthology book puts some of Marvel’s newest LGBT+ characters front and center to celebrate Pride Month. Web-Weaver swings in from the edges of the Spider-Verse and Gimmick commits to training with her fellow mutants on Krakoa. Classic icons such as Hulkling and Wiccan appear as well.
Hero of the Week – Venom/Eddie Brock (Review score: 15 Points/1 Appearance; 15.0 Pts/App). Eddie wins his second Hero of the Week title with his one appearance performance breaking the tie with Spider-Man in his favor. As expected with symbiote-based heroes, he holds a steady Powers/Appearance ratio with 6.3, which leads the category.
Antagonist of the Week – Doctor Doom (Review score: 6 Points/1 Appearance; 6.0 Pts/App). Doctor Doom could have had a higher score, but the version of Doom found in Thing’s Clobberin’ Time book is ruled to be an older, alternate version of himself. He moves into a tie for second with Carnage in the Antagonist division.
Top Characters (by review score). Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Venom/Eddie Brock (15); Gambit, Thing (10); Black Cat, Captain America/Sam Wilson, Captain America/Steve Rogers (9); Captain Marvel, The Rider, Rogue (8); Spider-Man/India, Spider-Man/Miles Morales, Wong (7)
