Weekly Marvel Review: July 05, 2023 (Week 27)

M.O.D.O.K. uses the fragments of the Rainbow Bridge to craft a twisted world where he rules as M.Y.T.H.O.S. Thor sees through the false reality and smashes the villain and restores the Rainbow Bridge before the start of Al Ewing’s “Immortal” take on the Asgardian King.

Book the Week – X-Men #24 (Review score: 49 Points; 19 Characters). The X-Men return to Gameworld to stop Pogg Ur-Pogg’s rampage through the cosmic casino. Young Cable returns in an attempt to stop an Orchis plot on the upcoming Hellfire Gala but gets taken by surprise by an Orchis trap.

Hero of the Week – Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Review score: 17 Points/3 Appearances; 5.67 Pts/App). Peter Parker takes his seventh Hero of the Week title. He comes up short of hitting for the cycle by missing out on any noteworthy Character Development moments.

Antagonist of the Week – Doctor Doom (Review score: 17 Points/2 Appearances; 8.5 Pts/App). Halfway through the year and Doctor Doom is fighting for his top spot in the Antagonist bracket. He takes his fourth Antagonist of the Week title on the year.

Top Characters (by review score). Doctor Doom, Spider-Man/Peter Parker (17); Thor (13); Talon (12); Venom/Dylan Brock (11); Captain America/Sam Wilson, Invisible Woman, Venom/Eddie Brock (10); Araña, Captain Marvel, Thing (9)
