The City of the Dead inducts a trio of characters into the Fantasy Comic League. Moon Knight adversaries Grim Reaper and Midnight, and his lover-cum-vigilante—and breakout star of the Moon Knight tv series—Scarlet Scarab. Mrs. Tony Stark, Emma Frost, hits 100 points.
Book the Week – Invincible Iron Man #12 (Review score: 41 Points; 16 Characters). Diamond clashes with iron when Tony’s new wife meets Tony’s protégé. Ironheart is tasked with a special assignment that takes her to outer space while Tony and the Avengers join Emma and the Avengers for a Thanksgiving celebration.
Hero of the Week – Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Review score: 19 Points/3 Appearances; 6.3 Pts/App). Spider-Man’s starring turn in the Secret Wars mini series denies Ironheart her first Hero of the Week and gives him his 11th title. He teams with Rek-Rap, a demon inspired by Spider-Man, in his Amazing title, and shows up in Uncanny Spider-Man to support Nightcrawler, a mutant often confused for a demon.
Antagonist of the Week – Carnage/Symbiote (Review score: 16 Points/1 Appearance; 16.0 Pts/App). After making a big deal of not needing a host, the Carnage symbiote creates itself a new version of Cletus Kasady. Its strong week pushes him well above 100 points and gives him first place, ahead of Doctor Doom.
Top Characters (by review score). Spider-Man/Peter Parker (19); Carnage/Symbiote (16); Daredevil/Matt Murdock, Ironheart, She-Hulk (10); Black Panther, Emma Frost (9); Hulk, Scarlet Scarab, Wasp/Janet Van Dyne, Wolverine/James Howlett (8)
