A slow week as everyone is gearing up to attend the X-Men’s latest Hellfire Gala next week. Blade and Moon Knight each launch a new miniseries. The Extreme Venomverse, New Mutants Lethal Legion, and Spider-Gwen: Spider Clones books reach their conclusion
Book the Week – New Mutants Lethal Legion #5 (Review score: 35 Points; 12 Characters). New Mutants Lethal Legion ends on a high note and takes home its second Book of the Week award in as many titles. In its five-issue run, the book averaged 34 points per issue.
Hero of the Week – Deadpool (Review score: 9 Points/1 Appearance; 9.0 Pts/App). Deadpool takes advantage of a slow week—and the absence of Marvel’s heaviest hitters—to obtain his first Hero of the Week since August 2021.
Antagonist of the Week – Count Nefaria (Review score: 6 Points/1 Appearance; 6.0 Pts/App). Count Nefaria may have lost his battle to the New Mutants, but he wins his first Antagonist of the Week title.
Top Characters (by review score). Deadpool (9); Blade, Ghost-Spider (7); Black Panther, Count Nefaria, Moon Knight, Mirage (6); Deathlok/Michael Collins, Escapade, Storm (5)
