Digger’s Appearance in Luke Cage: Gang War accounts for his sixth Appearance in under a year so he’s the newest character to get added to the Fantasy Comic League database. The big moment from the week comes from Drax’s sacrifice to bring an end to Grootfall and return his teammates to life in the Guardians of the Galaxy Annual. The Ultimate Peter Parker also reveals his identity to his daughter
Book of the Week – Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld #4 (Review score: 44 Points; 10 Characters). The Battleworld title takes its second Book of the Week title in a row. This time, it’s everybody against Spider-Man as the Beyonder manipulates the other heroes to turn on their ally as he further tests the symbiote and its bond with Peter Parker.
Hero of the Week – Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Review score: 19 Points/3 Appearances; 6.3 Pts/App). Spider-Man takes his second Hero of the Week in a row and tallies his third overall. He begins to pull away from the rest of the pack with 90 total points. In his three Appearances this week he only scores one Team-Up and Defeats Antagonist.
Antagonist of the Week – Hobgoblin/Rodrick Kingsley (Review score: 5 Points/1 Appearance; 5.0 Pts/App). The prime Hobgoblin ties with Super-Skrull, but Rodrick Kingsley earns the title for being a true antagonist since the Super Skrull is acting in a heroic manner alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Top Characters (by review score). Spider-Man/Peter Parker (19); Captain Marvel (17); Doctor Strange (14); Daredevil/Matt Murdock, Luke Cage (11); Madame Web (10); Jessica Jones (9); Clea, Spider-Man/Miles Morales, Spider-Man/Ultimate Peter Parker (8)
