The clone and one time Spider-Man Ben Reilly steps back into the role when Peter Parker ends up hospitalized. Ben is corporate backed, seems to have all he could ask for...but there's something lurking just under the surface of it all.

Another of the series that fits more adventures into the alien costume era. Spidey ends up dimension hopping and crossing paths with the Hulk, Karnilla and more in this volume. Writer Peter David is one of the legends of the industry and his storytelling is the strength of the series. Unfortunately he's paired with Greg Land, whose artistic style consists of tracing facial expression from, well... adult entertainment.Another of the series that fits more adventures into the alien costume era.

The culmination of the Magistrate storyline happens here as everything goes wrong for the initiative (whose other aims include persecuting the Bat), and of course Batman must save the day for Gotham while contending with one of his darkest enemies at their worst. A great finale that sets the stage for things to come.The culmination of the Magistrate storyline happens here as everything goes wrong for the initiative (whose other aims include persecuting the Bat), and of course Batman must save the day for Gotham while contending with one of his darkest enemies…

Likely out of continuity or set a few years down the line, since Bruce looks older than he is. Batman heads to Europe on the trail of someone seeking to undo the good he's done- one life at a time. A satisfying read.

A series of companion one shots tied to the larger event. This finds the heroes of the Marvel universe contending with threats of a magical nature in the wake of the murder of Doctor Strange. There is not a weak story in the mix.

The title says it all. The Sorceror Supreme has been killed. Dark forces are gathering to take advantage in his absence. An intriguing miniseries that sets the stage for much to come, and well put together.

An out of continuity story that has a gritty realistic feel, with Batman contending with an imposter out to ruin his name.

The big event storyline that has the mutant nation of Krakoa put on a big display for the world, all while doing things that can only lead to disaster down the line. A whole lot of ethically troubling questions being raised, but Charles Xavier doesn't seem to be listening.The big event storyline that has the mutant nation of Krakoa put on a big display for the world, all while doing things that can only lead to disaster down the line.

The very adult book about a swinging couple jumps ahead in time and finds the pair dealing with change and challenge. It's an honest take, albeit not quite as engaging as the Sunstone books.

The Bounty Hunters title gets impacted by the War of the Bounty Hunters storyline. Of course. Valance and the rest of the scum and villainy making up this title find themselves swept up in the race for a prize, with lots at stake.

In one form or another the Crime Syndicate- an alternate reality version of the Justice League in which the heroes are villians- has been around a long time. This miniseries is a fresh take on the concept.

The Champions go head to head with the Roxxon corporation in this volume that brings the adventures of the teen team to an end, at least for now. The characters all get an appropriate amount of depth and time to shine as things go along.

Miles became a more interesting character once he was out of the hands of his creator, the worst writer in the history of the industry, and that status quo continues here, as the teen continues to go through life as the Marvel universe's other Spidey and faces the challenges that entails.Miles became a more interesting character once he was out of the hands of his creator, the worst writer in the history of the industry, and that status quo continues here, as the teen continues to go through life as the Marvel universe's other…
