It’s hard to know when it’s a good time to start in on a new comic so to help you out I have listed some jumping on points I have found from personal reads and around the internet. If you are looking to add a little flavor this week but don’t want to heavily invest in trades consider picking one of these up. If you know of something I missed from either 7/4 or the other three previous weeks, hit me up in the comments. If you need to know what the title or character has been up to previously then I highly suggest hitting the wiki over at Comic Vine.
Over the past few weeks Marvel has been slowly teasing the new direction of the Marvel universe post Avengers vs. X-Men. They have dubbed it Marvel NOW! and have explicitly stated that it isn’t a reboot rather a shaking up of the creative teams on many of Marvel core titles. It will slowly be rolling out from October to February so if you have been wanting to get back in to some of the iconic Marvel characters fresh beginnings are around the corner. Marvel teased the teams for eight titles last week and there is a great article over at Comic Book Movie that gives a quick rundown of all the teasers released so far.
Before I get into this weeks jumping on points I would like to point out that the spidery theme to this week is totally unintentional. On the other hand I would like to say that, in my opinion, thwipt is the greatest onomatopoeia known to man. Now, on to the good stuff.

Scarlet Spider #7
I’ve been hearing good things about Scarlet Spider and after looking up reviews on this issue I may have to jump in myself. Of course, that’s the danger I put myself into every week writing this article. For those of you not in the know; Scarlet Spider is the former clone nemesis of Peter Parker who is known as Kaine. In a long, somewhat complicated and convoluted storyline spanning many decades Kaine was recently cured from being spider-sh*t crazy. He now resides in Huston, Texas trying to make is own mark away from his “brother” Peter. In this issue the duo of Khoi Pham and Tom Palmer talk over on art duty. I liked the work they did in Daredevil and their styles definitely fit a spider book.

It’s another Tuesday and this is another jumping on points from the previous weeks comics. It’s hard to know when it’s a good time to start in on a new comic so to help you out I have listed some jumping on points I have found from personal reads and around the internet. This isn’t an exhaustive list so if you know of something I missed hit me up in the comments and I will add it to the list. Previous weeks lists are also posted at the bottom. If you are looking to add a little flavor this week but don’t want to heavily invest in trades consider picking one of these up.
Daredevil #14
It has been pretty well established that this run of Daredevil has been new reader friendly from the start. Off the top of my head only #11 and #13 were bad places to start this book. That said I am a little reluctant to recommend #14. Technically speaking this issue stands perfectly well on its own but the problem lies with it being chock full of minor spoilers. If that isn’t a problem then by all means pick this issue up. Daredevil is hands down
my favorite comic right now and I would recommend it to anyone.
