Weekly Marvel Review: April 17, 2024 (Week 16)

Madama Monstrosity, Spider-Boy’s creator and nemesis, gets added to the database. Big moments from the week include Spider-Boy learning that his mom was turned into one of Monstrosity’s Humanimals, Wrongslide sacrificing himself to heal Krakoa, and Miles introducing Shift to his family. Miles becomes the second hero to break 100 points.

Book of the Week – Miles Morales: Spider-Man #19 (Review score: 42 Points; 13 Characters). The latest issue accounts for all of the accolades for the week, including the Book of the Week for the second issue in a row. But the biggest accomplishment for the book is Miles finally defeating Rabble.

She surpasses the Carnage symbiote to reclaim the top spot in the Antagonist rankings.
