God declares Hawkeye slightly more valuable than a mailbox

Marvel Comics’ heroes are having trouble being judged harshly by an inexorable space-god. This week, another exciting development was made in blockbuster series of events. AXE: Judgment day.

Marvel Comics’ May solicitations to retailers included a short description and description. Avengers #60, which stated: “Hawkeye must prove that he brings at least as much joy and usefulness to the world as a randomly chosen mailbox.”

In regard to which I had only one thing to say: “God, I hope that’s meant literally.” Now, we finally know the answer.

Is there anything else happening inside our favourite comics’ pages? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. You may not have enough context. There will still be some great comics. This is the latest edition.

Hawkeye and the Progenitor Celestial (in the form of Black Widow) chat about his judgement as he pays for his diner burger. “How about this,” says the Celestial, “whether your life brings as much joy and meaning to the universe as that blue metal box, pointing at a USPS mailbox, in Avengers #60 (2022).

Please read it, This was literal. In the end, Clint gave up hope that he’d pass the Progenitor’s test, but the Celestial pardoned him anyway. He had shown his ability to learn, not because he was perfect. “Which,” the Progenitor said, “apparently, a mailbox cannot do.”

Princess Spinstress is introduced at a medieval ball, in her red and blue gown with its sparkling web skirt in Edge of Spider-Verse #4 (2022).

I’ve been skimming the pre-Spider-Verse is overIssues in anthology Edge of Spider-VerseIt’s not easy. I guess it’s just hard to invent a cool new Spider-Variant these days after so many official and fan-created ones have gone before. T. rex Spider-Man? DC has done that for the entire Justice League.

This week, however, I was able to laugh at some Spider-Viants. Spinstress is the Disney Princess of Spiderpersons. She has a talking spider companion, Merry James Watson, and a love interest in her, Spinstress.

Peter Parkedcar: Spider-Man from a Cars-like world. Did I just coin the phrase “Cars-like”? That’s what I hope.
