This is a sleeper for PotW, I guess, being the final issue of a mini that doesn't have any great bearing on anyone's continuity (though it does tie up a thread from Mighty Avengers along the way).  But I arrange my pile by writer, going top-down, and Christos Gage is one of my favorites, so this little book came up early in my stack, and as always, you can count on Christos Gage to write the hell out of it. 

This wound up being one of my favorite Ben Grimm issues ever.  Gage gives him so many wonderful little moments, from the delightfully unexpected (bubble bath and Poker Face), to the perfect beats of friendship and mutual understanding between him and Spider-Man, to the powerful emotional revelations that come in the denouement.  Ben's statement to Reed that Reed's frequent professions of guilt over Ben's physical state only served to make Ben feel that was the primary reason for keeping him around was the kind of punch to the gut character moment Gage delivers so elegantly.

It should be said also, Mario Alberti has a real gift for imbuing non-human faces with emotion and intention, from Ben's rocky visage to Spidey's mask.

In the end, I often judge books by how much I want to share them, and last night I found myself going on and on about this wonderful Ben Grimm story I'd read this week.  This is, I think, the third of these little continuity-adjacent minis from Gage and Alberti, and I say, Keep 'em coming, Marvel.
