* 1:57 – Generations: Miles and Peter, together again this summer!We’re looking forward to it, but is it time to give up hope for that Spider-Men sequel?

* 4:00 – Listener feedback! What’d we think of Miles’ appearance in Old Man Logan? Our thoughts on following the characters’ appearances in other books. Has the Miles and Gwen connection been there since the Ultimate days?

* 10:35 – Spider-Gwen #18 – A solid story about a fantastic family, filled with surprises and humor. Ready for an Earth-8 series. A fun yet anti-climactic climax. Jefferson as the bad guy. Was six issues too many?
