Spoilers for this week's ASM on CBR forums {Spoiler}Peter hasn't forgotten about the kiss from Felicia in ASM#900, and despite telling Wolverine MJ was more important to him, he decides to start dating Felicia instead. Great, so now he's using her to try and get over MJ, and Felicia's probably gonna be written so she barely notices, and will try to get MJ's blessing in their team up series no doubt. What a step backwards for her character, who's been embracing more of her bisexual roots lately. On the other hand, at least Peter's interest for this run isn't Carlie, Norah, or some random newbie, and it won't be long before we get more Peter/MJ content with The Lost Hunt coming next month.
Roderick Kingsley also returns, he's blackmailing Norman and arranges a meeting with him, only for a new Hobgoblin to attack them and mess up Roderick

I’m fine with it. Odessa and Tamara are horrible love interest and I rather Peter be with someone rather then no one, especially if it’s someone he has history with.
Only thing I’m worried about is Zeb Wells will be the one writing the relationship.

Couple of other things confirmed
Hallow's Eve series is a five issue mini, and Red Goblin's book is an ongoing, and the Goblin is Harry's son Normie.

How does Normie get his own ongoing book?

Alan Moore has a prose book of short stories coming out, so, predictably, interviewers are asking him about his career in comics. www.theguardian.com/books/2022/oct/07/watchmen-author-alan-moore-im-definitely-done-with-comicsThe comics-related portions of the interview. I can't blame Moore for giving the same answers to the same questions interviewers keep posting. But it's always an interesting litmus test as to where in Moore's comments comic book readers see themselves resembled and thus bristle at the comparison.

The way they go about Peter restarting his romance with Felicia in Amazing this week is flat out embarrassing. This is clearly a broken man, the Pete we know would not attempt to move on like this from MJ, especially after how Spencer's run went down, unfortunately it's not the first time we've seen him give up as it happened in the Brand New Day era, but that's because It's always been MJ who blocked a reconciliation under these kinds of writers, never Pete. Just a few issues ago he was telling Logan MJ was the most important thing to him, so he doesn't really care about Felicia, and Felicia is being written to be OK with this and accept his pity date.

I’m fine with Felicia and Peter dating, but he’s written to be pretty pathetic while doing so. He acts and talks like he’s the high school nerd who just asked the hottest girl in school out and got told yes.

I'm wearing my visor... before I start to fight I should put my swim cap on so no one knows who I am! >_> If he was wearing his glasses and swapped to the visor it'd at least make more sense... less of a chance to accidentally punch people with eye lasers...

This aged well {Spoiler} All these characters books flopping lately, peaking so far with Jon's title being demoted to mini, pretty much vindicate Mike completely.

This weeks' Catwoman {Spoiler}Selina has reciprocated Valmont's feelings for her, Batman is appearing next issue so I guess her moving on will be made official then. So much for that year long break.

So much for that year long break. I don’t even read Batman or Catwoman all that much and that still pisses me off. Valmont’s a real loser/nothing of a character for Selina to leave Bruce for. Not to mention that Bruce had a chance to move on with Talia and turned it down. Guess the goal here is to make Bruce look like a chump.

Not to mention that Bruce had a chance to move on with Talia and turned it down. Guess the goal here is to make Bruce look like a chump. I don't think DC have had an idea of where to take Catwoman for ages now. Say what you will about how King wrote Batman, but it didn't used to be all bad and Selina at one point truly felt like she belonged more in that book as they built to the wedding. She had developed so organically into a perfect fit for Bruce over the years that it would have been interesting for her to have led her title while being married to Bruce, but alas Didio took over and kiboshed all those plans, and unfortunately the higher ups don't appear to have any enthusiasm for Bat/Cat either. I liked Ram V's run well enough, it didn't forget Selina was really into Bruce but focused on her alley town troubles exclusively, Howard is just writing mundane soap opera with a created character and gets Selina's voice entirely wrong. Worse, the comic has this preposterous first person narration that tries to put us in Selina's head and justify her flaws and changing feelings about herself...if I recall, the cancelled Batgirl book tried the same tactic to convince us Babs was changing and getting involved with Jason Bard over Dick, only for that to be abandoned as soon as Tom Taylor took over Nightwing and made her super horny for Dick again (that came out wrong)

Don't have much to add...
one of my favorite few pages from Batman in the past few years was Batman, Catwoman, Superman and Lois going on a double date dressed as each other.
Doubly so because Clark still had his glasses on over the Bat-cowl.
also the exchange "This Crest is the Kryptonian symbol of hope" to which Bruce's response "this bat symbolizes a bat"
