Discussed:

Gross covers

Confusing mind-swap nomenclature

Aunt May doin' it

People definitely not dying

Covered: Amazing Spider-Man 698-699

Batman's creation-Specifically Bill Finger

Black Panther was better than Wonder Woman. Come at us. (But also, both are valid and neither need to be pitted against the other.)

Spider-Man, probably.
