    I haven't got any comics yet but I bet it'll be something in Astonishing.

    I'm gonna go with the Avengers Initiative book, when the former Nazi Super-Villain talks about being Hank Pym's greatest fan. It was nice to see an acknowledgement of how evil the pro-reg guys have been.

    Okay, you realize that most of his points were about how Pym acted long before CW, right? Ultron, etc.

    Yup, but his favorite was the Thor clone.

    I nominate 52 #52 as best comic of the year.

    Possibly ever.

    Blue and Gold.

    There's really nothing I could say that would bring it justice. I don't have a scanner, so I'd greatly appreciate it if someone scanned it to share the best two pages in comics.

    Although,
    the Bwahaha seemed a bit forced
    but that didn't make it any less sentimental.

    52 #52 is the only comic I've read so far this week.

    It may be the only comic I need to read, in order to feel whole.

    This old joke again?

    The Nazis loved trains that ran on time (and their legacy still exists in most European public transit systems), does that mean that we should hate to have on-time public transit?

    Hitler idealized Jesus, does that make Christianity morally wrong? (not actually starting a religious debate here)

    I could go on forever...just because someone awful likes you, or your ideas, doesn't mean you or your ideas are awful. To say otherwise is just the 'ad hominem' logical fallacy, and is completely without merit.

    Guys, WWH Prologue, the Mini-Marvels part. God damn, that was pure gold and filled with so much truth. So far, WWH is starting off on the right foot.

    Oh I read it: it's never, ever, whatsoever, good reasoning at all to question the validity of a claim based on who said it. It's not hyperbole, it's just wrong, to resort to such an ad hominem judgment.

    I know wwtMask was joking a little, but those sort of comments are problematic.

    This. A thousand times this.
    The sad thing is, every time I see Ted, no matter what book he's appearing in, it just makes me think, "Goddamit, and I'm stuck with Jaime, the Editorial Edict That Walks Like a Man." Still, it was nice seeing Booster say goodbye. Would have been even more nice to see him yank him out of the timestream, but this was okay too.

    52 was phenomenal. It was an awesome culmination of the whole series.

    Being proven right with Initiative was pretty nice. Seriously, it's like watching a horrible episode of G.I. Joe where, instead of giving the kids a moral lesson at the end, they give them guns.

    Gotta say though... the moment of the week for me was Deathstrokes motivation for starting the Teen Titans East. It felt a little forced... but I liked it.

    Are you still hating the comic the Initiative or just the institution itself? (Which we are supposed to hate)

    Good question... I honestly don't know anymore. I enjoyed reading it... but for the same reason I enjoy watching Fox News. It just pisses me off... and for some reason I enjoy that.
