Moment of the Week - August 19, 2009

Anyways, here was the best page from DD #500:
And Matt's response is, with a smile, "You're a wise girl."
And here is the Zircher pin-up (the dude needs to be given a monthly book again, he's like a million times better than Finch):
And the Rafael Grampa page does a good job of showing what the original DD costume would look like, had it been made from old boxing trunks and clothes:
Now, it lacks a bit on its own maybe, but in the middle of this epic fight that saw each other viciously stabbing and mashing heads into rail tracks while a train is moving and so on, it was pretty awesome seeing them both react to the kids and move along.
And then he went over to DC and did 14 JLA issues no delays at all, and then did that ASM run with JMS during Civil War.
It's like, what the hell?
Man I am totally getting a Paul Pope vibe from that.
'Cause it's frumpy.

Roberto De La Torre is the new DD artist.
The List: Daredevil is what was previewed in DD #500 with Billy Tan art.
And the last Daredevil was like 120 or something. I forget exactly because 500 was delayed. Its been like 2 months since the last issue of DD was released.
I just assumed he was the artist since I know Diggle is the writer.
Does this mean no "Matt eats a tasty sandwich" issue?
Damn you, Bru
"Be gentle with me."
Ok cool, so about the right number of issues for a second omnibus. I AM PLEASED!
You can't just go around announcing how you feel. THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!
Also, the guy on the last page. Madrox dupe from Messiah Complex, I guess? I inferred it from the letters page, because I couldn't really tell.
That said, White Fang or whatever shes called is a terribly designed character.
And Frost returns to the Empire to give back his mom's power, but some of it has stayed around giving his super strength, handsomeness, and healing (he seems to have taken it from his father). After fighting some goblins, Gepetto's Owl (now named MacDuff) helps him out, and asks for him to help repair him:
A good issue, and I like returning to the Empire and Frost trying to be a good guy to counteract his father.
I keep thinking about making a Fables thread, and with the book taking this good approach for the next arc, it might push me to do so.
I'm a big fan of Grampa. I don't remember where I found him, but I am eagerly awaiting the reprint of Mesmo Delivery. That Daredevil pin-up has Paul Pope, Geof Darrow and Quitely all going on at the same time.
Pete shows up a couple times in last week's Secret Files one-shot.
We're given the feeling that he's so ashamed of being part of the Luthor Administration, that he retires back to small town life.
Also,
I would scan some of it because it's only a couple pages, but I just realized I left my scanner at home, 200 miles away.
But throughout the entire thing, they're basically hinting at future retcons that will serve as plot points. And most of them seem like they will be immediate, within the span of the Patriot crossover.
I also loved this issue of Air and you bastards should really start reading it.
Wade got laid?
Eww...
Daredevil #500, I choose you!
Terry: "Aw come on, this is shway!"
Bruce: "It's shwarbage."

Don't even get how that makes sense considering the city still apparently fears and is traumatised by the Joker well into the future. Also not a fan of anything that lets the citizens of gotham 'enjoy' my precious Rogues gallery.
Damn you Dini.
