Moment of the Week: 8/20/08

Me Too!

The mini ties in to New Avengers, with Pat hunting down escapees from The Raft
Spidey shows up in it
But since then he's been pretty silent
Which is sad, I like the character

He'll probably be killed off-panel within a couple years.

Me Too!

Don't you fucking say that

That reminds me, I need to track down a copy of Toxin's mini

does he have his own mini or are you talking about venom vs carnage? because that is so, so bad.

He has his own mini that takes place after the events of Venom Vs Carnage.

I'm not even sure Toxin was ever acknowledged in the mainstream marvel universe.

he was on the cover to the first issue of Avengers Initiative

The Geebs That Is A Pony

him and like, everybody else

Lux

Brave and the Bold:

Spoiler:

Catwoman: That was fun! Let's do it again sometime. I'll come to metropolis!
Superman: No!
Catwoman: I'll bring Poison Ivy!
Superman: Really, truly, no.
Superman: Wait. She's the one who dresses just in leaves?
Catwoman: Yep.
Superman: No. Take the win. Go.

Hush foreshadowing, too.

they still haven't forgotten him, though!

Dareth Ram

Mikaboshi stole the best moment of the week for me.

Layla Miller:

Spoiler:

After she uses her knowledge of "stuff" to trick a bunch of the prison guards into standing underneath a shower of space debris (ironic because the government switched space debris search funding to mutant hunting), she has this awesome one-liner:

"If you weren't all busy dying, I bet we'd share a big laugh over it."

Was Robin this week a RIP crossover?

I don't believe so no

I think the current Robin arc is called "Search for a Hero"

The hero inside yourself?

My MOTW will be when I rush home after work today to try to get my package before the leasing office closes - it contains Fables 6, Scalped vol. 1 and 2, and the Captain America Omnibus.

Is the next arc "Search for the Secrets you Hide"?

Just_Bri_Thanks

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

I just don't get the reference.

DarkWarrior

Its a song. How old are you?

Just_Bri_Thanks

31 in some more days.

Keith

jesus, really?

Just_Bri_Thanks

Yes.

Keith

could've fooled me!

This week's Robin was awesome, except for the last page, but that just depends on where it's going

I have no problem with Nicieza taking over for Dixon. But it keeps looking like Tim is going to be Batman

Just_Bri_Thanks

I don't have a problem with Tim being Batman, but who will be his Robin? He seems to be not getting along with Stephanie, and who can blame him, really?

And on the front of Bruce not being Batman any more, I think I would dig it if he kept watch over things Oracle style from the batcave.

Robos A Go Go

Damien, duh.

Keith

I even liked how Jason was handled in this issue

Just_Bri_Thanks

I am not sure about Damien. He needs a personality transfusion.

Mai-Kero

So I just read Anna Mercury and that is fucking awesome. Warren Ellis should be president of writing.

Also, pretty much the best premise for a videogame ever.

i had to pass on Anna Mercury due to finances...

Spoiler:

She's inside a work of fiction or something, right? She's a ficto-naut?

Spoiler:

Not really. Well, yes, comic book, but the story is that there are eight parallel universes connected to Earth, all but invisible, and the G8 governments have known about it since 1938 when they accidentally teleported a battleship into one of them. Said world got kind of fucked up when a battleship suddenly appeared in the middle of a city, so our Earth feels kind of responsible and sends in agents to try and un-fuck it. Whenever we send something into one of the worlds, it boomerangs back after a while. Unless it's organic. Then it explodes. So Anna Mercury, and other agents, are given suits that extend the time they're in the world. The suits can also fuck with physics, giving them super-powers, but that drains the battery faster, and if they're still there when they run out of juice, they, you know, explode.

Alright, so I did in fact scan in Ruby from Layla Miller.

Spoiler:

Her optic blasts are very dark red with a brighter red glow on the edge. I just love the design.

Oh.

Spoiler:

And old Cylcops hits children.

It could be like Batman Beyond, except he'd be less old.

I've got to agree with Damien being the new robin as he seems like the only choice to me at this point.

Bloods End

Fuck that. He should be banging Catwoman and Talia round the clock.

Robos A Go Go

If Tim's going to become a man, that'd be the way to do it.

Keith

i think he was talking about bruce

Robos A Go Go

Oh yeah, woops.

Inter_d

fuck you guys and your....fucking...MONEY.

scan some shit in so i can see some of this comicy goodness!

My moment of the week?

I went to Fan Expo Canada Today. I wasn't focused on Taking Pictures (I spent just over 3 hours getting signatures... Matt Fraction, Jeff Loeb and Steve Mcniven!), but I did take a few.

Shitty pictures incoming.

Spoiler:

I saw this cute couple coming down an escalator across from me.




The mega 64 guys had a booth.




Bought some swag.


(First 12 issues of Doom 2099, and Deadpool's two first 4 issue minis.)


And the shit I got signed. I bought Long Halloween and the Iron Fist Trades today.


Jeff Loeb (Long Halloween Softcover, Spider-man: Blue 1st issue and Hardcover)
Matt Fraction (Immortal Iron Fist Issue one and Hardcover, Immortal Iron Fist Green Mist of Death Special)
Steve McNiven (Old Man Logan #1 and 2. I got a bunch of Civil War stuff signed last year, and I forgot my Marvel Knights 4 issues at home...)

The only other thing I want to say is Matt Fraction is the most awesome guy ever. I want to hang out with him.

I asked him who's idea was it for the awesome page with Danny kicking the Hydra guy through the subway. He said "I dont like to take credit, but that was all me!"

My Moment of the week was winning tickets to the premier of Hellboy 2, giving a ticket to a buddy, going to the premier and having him win a bag of swag at a lottery before the movie. Said bag of loot contained 2 free tickets to any film of his choice, one of wich he gave to me as thanks for giving him one of my free tickets.

Then being informed that if I could present the premier ticket at a local comics store I would get 20% of on any item.

Showed up today and found they had gotten the latest TP of PS238.

All in all a good week for me.

BTW where is the PS238 love? the Series rocks and even has a Will Weathon cameo in it.

Spoiler:

TO THE LUNCHROOM
FOR JUSTICE!

Sars_Boy

what the hell is PS238

Servo

it's a "super-school" style book.

Me Too!

I've read it online at the dude's site
It's cute and enjoyable
