Tony Stark: Iron Man v1 & v2, by Slott, Schiti, Delgado, Zub, Villanelli

Tony deals with some deeply existential questions, like, if he's downloaded his brain from a digital backup, and rebuilt his body from scratch (not to mention being technically an amalgamation of three different alternate versions of himself, for which see Heroes Return), is he still Tony Stark? Well, maybe this virtual reality he's building will help him answer those questions, oh poop, here's the Controller. Plus the Fin-Fang-Foom-Buster Armor, the Nano Armor, and Rhodey deals with PTSD. Mildly recommended.

West Coast Avengers v1 & v2, by Thompson, Caselli, Farrell, Di Nicuolo, Lim, R.

Goofy fun, featuring both Hawkeyes, Gwenpool, Quentin Quire, Ms. America, and more, in which land sharks are fought, quips are quipped, and Quentin and Gwenpool totally date. (And Quire has to deal with the fact that she's either delusional and having a psychotic break, or reality is not what he thinks it is.) Oh, and, diversity! Fun, recommended.

Spider-Geddon by Divers Hands

Including Spider-Geddon proper, Edge Of Spider-Geddon, Spider-Geddon: Covert Ops, and Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider: Spider-Geddon. The Spider-Verse event from a few years ago was popular, and the recent movie more so, and thus of course there's a sequel. It's a bit of a rerun, with the same bad guys coming back, the same stakes being fought over, and the same "meaningful deaths". The nicest bit was probably assorted different daughters of Peter and MJ getting together and comparing notes, which led to a lot of tearful bonding. If you liked Spider-Verse, you'll like this, and if you haven't read Spider-Verse, read that instead.

Warriors Of The Spider-Verse: Electroverse by Costa, Baldeon

A Spider-Verse spin-off, in which assorted Spider-Men, -Woman, and -Hams team up to defeat a similar legion of alternate versions of Electro. The resolution leaves too many practical questions unanswered (Like, what jail are you going to put them in?) but it's still fun.

Avengers: No Road Home by Waid, Ewing, Zub, Medina, Izaakse, Barberi

An ad hoc Avengers team of Hulk, Hercules, Rocket Raccoon, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Photon, and others, come together to avenge the massacre of the Greek Gods by one of their own, journeying to the lands of nightmare and the farthest stars to gather needed MacGuffins. A cool event, self-contained, well-handled. Recommended.

Fantastic Four: Mr. And Mrs. Grimm by Slott, Simone, Braga, Kuder, Hughes, Allred

Ben and Alicia finally tie the knot! There's a lot of glee in that alone, but the issue suffers from superhero weddings, and superhero bachelor/bachelorette parties, having a lot of tired tropes that all the characters are extremely self-aware of. So, there's a certain amount of, "Gosh I hope there aren't any supervillains in those suspiciously giant cakes!" And then a muffled voice from inside the cake says, "Crap, what's our plan B?" But still, they get married!
