The Power Fantasy #1-14 (Gillen/Wijngaard)
My favourite ongoing comic of 2025, although I'm a little wary about their ability to nail the landing in only two issues if they don't choose to continue further.

Ultimate Spider-Man #9-21 (Hickman/Checchetto/Messina)
USM started so strong but the 1 issue = 1 month structure has hurt this a lot. Both the plot and characterisation feel so rushed, even if the individual issues are breezy reads.

I'm doubling back to read some stuff missing from Marvel Unlimited when I first made it through the era during the X-Marathon.

Ultimate X-Men #7-19 (Momoko)
Momoko's hang out storytelling clashes with the 1 issue = 1 month structure of the Ultimate line. I've completely lost track of individual character arcs. Very pretty though, particularly the horror scenes.

Pretty cool that McKay is still stringing together this run, even if the way it's happening is THE DUMBEST SHORTSIGHTED INDUSTRY KILLING SHIT IN COMICS. HOW THE HELL AM I MEANT TO RECOMMEND THIS RUN TO ANYBODY?
