Blade was (and, to some extent, continues to be) an underutilized character. For the first 20 years of his existence, he only made 30-odd appearances; by the time of his 1998 film, he hadn’t even cracked 100.

You might remember the questionably-voiced backlash when Sam Wilson took up the Captain America mantle. There was the matter of Bucky, who had already had a run in the stars and stripes, but it’s probably fair to say that a lot of anger existed because anger always exists when a Black man takes up a role traditionally held by a white man.

Something went awry between the first Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Double Exposure. I don’t mean that the first game’s sequels faltered or somehow derailed the world of Max Caulfield and her varied time powers; I mean something in our world, in us. In the nine years since that first game, culture has become much less precocious and more self-critical. We’ve learned to identify toxic behaviors, and we’re quick to label narcissists.

Black Widow’s extremely tenuous, in-name-only connection to the Spider Family has recently been cemented with the use of alien goo, and though that isn’t necessary context going into Black Widow & Hawkeye: Broken Arrow, it does inform our story. It might trigger the acute disorder known as ‘symbiote fatigue’ in some readers, as both Widow and Hawkeye have been relatively safe under the symbiote-repelling Avengers umbrella for years.

The cosmic portion of the Marvel Universe has always been a place of wandering rogues, each compelling enough for their own stories but perpetually left in the background of other stories. It’s a part of the Universe largely undocumented beyond singular protagonists (and, more recently, a singular team).

In our review of the last volume of Spider-Woman, we expressed concern over the book’s longevity — Jessica Drew has a history of short-lived solo books with unsteady narrative foundations. That concern, it would seem, was well founded—this week’s The Assembly marks the end of writer Steve Foxe’s run with the character, which ends here after ten issues. It’s wearisome but understandable – one wishes Jessica could find a decent platform, but she isn’t exactly an A-list character.

Jack Kirby’s The Eternals wasn’t exactly a smash hit after the legend returned to Marvel at the end of the 1970s. His Fourth World saga hadn’t done well at DC a few years earlier, either (though a lot of editorial meddling played a part in that debacle). The Eternals aren’t quite considered a classic these days: despite being Marvel Jack Kirby at his most singular of vision, the property never took hold.
