Iman Vellani, the actress who portrays Ms. Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, crosses over into the comics realm with her first writing gig. She co-writes Ms. Marvel’s first comic series since her resurrection as a mutant. Big moments in the pages include Silence joining Anne Weying’s Symbiote Squad in Death of the Venomverse and Wolverine becomes Hellverine when possessed by Bagra-Ghul while teaming up with Ghost Rider. Characters added to the database include Caretaker and Headpool.
Book the Week – Marvel Age #1000 (Review score: 56 Points; 15 Characters). Marvel celebrates it’s 60th anniversary with a special one-shot featuring some of the original characters that helped launch the publisher more than half a century ago. The original Human Torch, the first class of the X-Men, Daredevil and Spider-Man, among others show up for the milestone title.
Hero of the Week – Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Review score: 13 Points/2 Appearances; 6.50 Pts/App). Spider-Man and Wolverine tie but Peter Parker had one fewer Appearance than Logan so he claims his league leading 9th Hero of the Week title.
Antagonist of the Week – Carnage/Symbiote (Review score: 14 Points/1 Appearance; 14.0 Pts/App). The Carnage symbiote closes in on the top spot and reaches third place in the Antagonist rankings. He earns his fifth Antagonist of the Week; tied with Dr. Doom and its former host for the most.
