    I love how Spencer fleshes these characters out.Each one has their own motivations and means to get their.They are not just empty plot devices like in most of these types of stories.They have personality.
    Also I love that Spencer addresses that the friendships have faultered and that Spidey overdoes the loner act.I want to see their reconciliation and deepening of friendship after this.
    On the downside I was hoping for solo Spidey vs the entire criminal empire but oh well.
    Also the seeds for this was planted in issue one and pay off now.Spencer isn't great at pacing but he is great at details and pretty much all the rest.
    Also I noticed how Mr negative was the one to say that they should make a deal.We know Spencer has something going on with him.Let's see how this all plays out.

    Yeah, Spidey soloing all those gangsters by himself would have been awesome to see, but I did like that the other heroes he gathered made the same basic point Jameson did almost 30 issues ago in their podcast interview --- if Peter wasn't so hellbent on keeping to himself, he'd have a lot more people in his corner when s*** went down and he was being made to look like the bad guy. That said, Jessica Jones's comment about always being there for him (with caveats) reminded me of the flashbacks to her high school crush on him as Peter Parker, so I got some amusement out of that.

    As for your prediction about Boomerang, I could go either way with that, but Spidey losing someone else who's become a friend or ally to him would be another arrow in Harry/Kindred's quiver of "the many failings and failures of Peter Parker," and I'd rather not give him that satisfaction.

    So Negative, Owl, Silvermane, Black Mariah, Diamondback (?). No Hammerhead? Silvermane's sure gotten upgraded.

    This whole "Kingpin is Spidey's buddy" thing has been so spottily depicted across this run that it feels weird to come up now, but I guess in totality there's the need to address it when we saw these heroes giving Peter grief about it in the first arc.

    So apparently there's a whole Superhero email chain that Peter never has time to respond too. New Avengers reunion though .

    Uh-huh. Maybe they should make it a text chain. And yes, New Avengers coming back together as the Defenders of the Streets is cool, too.

    I believe Silvermane is the same outfit here as he was in the new Silk series. A fun little continuity nod.

    i always thought it was a missed opportunity that Bendis when he was writing Guardians with Flash Agent Venom back then and he written Jessica Jones that, the two never interacted and Flash feeling guilty and trying to apologize or make up to Jessica for making fun of her in high school over her coma.

    but who knows with Flash back, its possible.

    love the banter with the new avengers. Peter got some many friends in the hero community he does need to open up to them more when he isnt self pitying. Cant wait for this issue

    Fred has been great in this series. I hope he doesn’t cash in his chips. I called my LCS to make absolutely sure I get this. Looking forward to it. I didn’t recognize Silvermane. Didn’t know he got a body. Spencer has done a great job like you said fleshing out all the characters and he’s used quite a lot of them since he took over. Plus we still got Sinister wars coming up. Even more characters.

    I'm thinking there's a chance Boomerang will die too, because:

    1)He's more of a hero than a villain at this point. (Redeeming him before killing him)
    2)Boomerang was the main character of Superior Foes. The title that probably got Spencer the ASM position.
    (We know Spencer's ASM run is coming to an end. So it would be fitting to kill him off because Boomerang/Superior Foes was his first big opportunity to write for the Spider-Man corner of the universe)

    Also just read the spoiler free review for Kings ransom.Very positive review and they it is satisfying and full of new reveals and end to plotlines which is good to hear.So much so they say their is 3 issues worth of stuff in this.Sounds like a must read.
    Issue will focus on Spider-man and boomerang stuff specially their trust.
    I think the review is indicating that the costume will go away.Makes sense since all future covers have the og red and blue.
    Also says that we get a clean slate so the new status quo was not just a solicit lie.
    It ends with captions
    Shutterbug is Peter focused.Many references but not really a lot of connection with Heroes Reborn as a whole.They focus on peter's "flaws" so probably they focus on the shy nerd which sucks.Not gonna pick this up

    I believe we will have a “Clean Slate” when and if OMD goes away and not until. Maybe the August Solicits will give an indication if we get an end to OMD, the Kindred Story and Spencer’s run

    OMD will never go away.The max they will do is make the characters in the MU aware it ever happened.Clean slate in the context they said is more like Mj and Peter may move in together Boomerang goes his own way.
    Also when do we get the solicits
