Both new database additions come from the latest Vengeance of the Moon Knight issue—Soldier, his loyal ally; and vampiric gang lord, Lady Yulan, who’s Appearances were boosted by her role in the “Gang War” tie-ins. Revealing developments for the week include Magento’s return, Franklin Richards’ secret that he still has access to his reality-creating powers, and Mr. Sinister returning in a cloned-body of Cypher.
Book the Week – Web of Spider-Man #1 (Review score: 58 Points; 16 Characters). The Book of the Week previews the upcoming Spider-related books on the horizon. Peter Parker sullies Tombstone’s reputation, Miles Morales hunts vampires, Jessica Drew moves cross country, Ben Reilly breaks out of his Limbo prison, and the Spider-Society braces for the next threat to the Web of Life and Destiny.
Hero of the Week – Spider-Boy (Review score: 10 Points/2 Appearances; 5.0 Pts/App). Spider-Boy lands in a three-way tie for first with Steve Rogers and Jessica Drew. All three have two Appearances, one Team-Up and a Defeat Antagonist, but Baily comes out ahead because both of his Appearances were starring roles: his own title, and Spider-Woman, where the two heroes bonded over being severed from the Web of Life of Destiny.
Antagonist of the Week – Green Goblin (Review score: 6 Points/1 Appearance; 6 Pts/App). The first Antagonist of the Week for the wannabe do-gooder, but how much longer can the Green Goblin remain golden? Norman defeats the Grave Goblin, his demonic counterpart from the “Dark Web” event, and returns him to Limbo.
Top Characters (by review score). Captain America/Steve Rogers, Spider-Boy, Spider-Woman (10); Black Panther, Iron Man (9); Spider-Man/Miles Morales (8); Black Widow, Blade, Chasm, Hulkling, Legacy, Phyla-Vell, Quicksilver (7)
