Batman #9, Bruce strikes back, with the help of long time Batman mytho.
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates #10, pretty great first issue by Humprhies. That ending literally made me gasp.
And for reference why this page matters.
Ultimate Comics X-Men #11, is pretty interesting to the landscape of the Ultimate Comics Universe. In addition Stryker? gets rebuilt. It'll be really interesting where Spencer leaves the book after the next issue (his last).
Green Lantern #9, Holy info dump Batman.

Wolverine & the X-Men #10, Emma always has to be top dog, plus a schism within a schism and hitting on demonic mutants:
X-Men Legacy #266, She Hulk beats up innocent kids defending their school, and Frenzy takes exception to a guy in a white hood:
and then Rogue goes into her default "kick the Avengers butts" mode.
Spider-Man Parallel Lives, MJ and Peter 2gether4ever:
I don't like seeing characters like Falcon and She-Hulk suddenly being bigoted/loose-cannons just to make the X-Men seem sympathetic.
Steaaaaaaam
Hmm, I was just about to say the same thing. Even Moon Knight seemed like he was just there to be a backdrop for making the X-men look good.
As a general rule, I refuse to bag on a title I'm not reading because context is everything. But every non-mutant in that scene was written as if their IQs had suddenly dropped about 50 points.
here is more context:
The teachers say Iceman and Rachel left of their own accord to help Cyclops, and the Avengers are there to specifically stop any more "individual actions" like that from occurring. So far that seems in character with the Avengers during this event: showing up unannounced with the threat of violence to back them up. Kitty says where is Wolverine on this, the Avengers say he's unavailable, because they kicked him out of a plane 30,000 feet in the air but don't tell them the truth. Kitty says they stay 100 yards from the school, and can not enter the school. Falcon agrees.
So they sit and play cards, talking about a contingency plan. Frenzy walks out to the quinjet, and literally draws a line in the sand 100 yards from the school entrance. Falcon even agrees to it. Then Moon Knight starts saying she's a terrorist and all this stuff that would also describe a few Avengers. Cue the scans. And the kids make a subtle reference to the time the Sentinels were watching them after M-Day.
And at the very end the contingency plan seems to be a suit of Iron Man armor run wirelessly by Tony from Avengers Tower.
especially Moon Knight since he has been way less I AM AN UNPREDICTABLE CRAZY MAN since his solo series started
Steaaaaaaam
And Wolverine is a gene traitor.
I still find it hard to swallow that Moon Knight would rattle so easy though. I mean, a great majority of both X-Men and Avengers are former bad guys, Frenzy, Rogue, Moon Knight and Falcon all included in that. If something like that can get under Spector's skin ...
is super dumb
Steaaaaaaam
By that logic Cyclops was Timothy Olyphant for shooting first against Cap. 6 mutants against 16 Avengers and Shield, that'd be a low key a defensive maneuver too, against a guy with a super absorbent shield.
Here's some good She-Hulk, from Avenging Spider-Man #7, by Kathryn and Stuart Immonen.
Which, y'know.
She's not too excited about.
I kept waiting for the lolcats nod, and I'm amazed at how subdued it is.
What struck me about this issue, was noticing how much Kathryn Immonen has improved as a writer, since first starting at Marvel. Her stories used to be mostly inscrutable, due to the stream-of-consciousness writing style she seemed to use. Now, they're more focused, while still retaining the sense of fun her work's always had.
I'd seriously love to see the Immonens take over this title, before the whole musical chairs creative team thing goes on for too long.

At least Munch's scans are cool. If July's wasn't my last preorder I see no reason not to have added AvSM to my list (and kept Venom).
Ever read the Hellcat story they did together in Marvel Comics Presents? It was basically incomprehensible.
Tumblr Twitter
She's just hit or miss
Thanks to Free comic book day I now have two.
Shortly that number will increase at the speed of silly. Because Dr.Dinosaur.
And while I enjoyed WatXM and Avenging Spider-Man, the FCBD Atomic Robo was still my moment of the week, because:
Now then, Dr. Dinosaur also appeared in Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures #1 recently.
Either way, the point is: get Atomic Robo. Get it now. Get it all.

Also I'm getting like 7 books next week and none on the 23rd or 30th. Such is 5 Wednesday months.
I wonder if Clevinger will get another shot/has desire to write for Marvel or DC any time soon.
edit: haha just realized the giant sentinel they are building at the end of Ultimate Comics X-Men #11 has strykers soul patch hahahahaha.
The Hellcat story featured in the Marvel Comics Presents anthology, was basically unreadable.

my motw in terms of comics overall was probably starting my new blog, thosemeddlingheroes.wordpress.com/.
feel free to check it out and comment as you see fit, everyone!
Wolverine & The X-Men was cool, didn't feel like a wasted tie in issue like I feared it would be.
Atomic Robo has already been pointed out as freaking sweet.
New Avengers continues with the sweet, sweet Iron Fist goodness. As far as tie ins go it has spent two issues just setting up so it should be taking off into exciting stuff land next ish.
X-Force was pretty good but given the above books it was the weakest of my purchases this week.
Best week for comics in a long time.
I love both and you're a chump for not agreeing with me
now draw a hard boiled chupacabra detective walking away from a casino explosion stat
I actually haven't read MCP in a while. I may have to dig it out, to see if my opinion's changed.

Erik Burhamn tweeted this Instagram photo of Atomic Robo FCBD 2012 with the caption, “This is my mantra for the day.” I cannot agree enough for work reasons. So between that and careful consideration (and not picking up comics on Wednesday), this is my MotW.
that looks like what would happen when i would convert huge jpegs into gifs or pngs
That's the selling point.
Edit: Next issue is "Capasaurus Rex!"
... And then I came to my senses and realized I could just take a screenshot off the Comixology version.
I'm pretty sure the jpeg artifacts in Burnham's tweet had something to do with taking a screencap and Instagram blowing it up, because there are already artifacts in that screenshot.
What?! I just had to google this and want to know everything about...
Here is the final page
And the mastermind behind it so far is Stegron + something he found ( guessing symbiotes)
I'm definitely on board for the next arc with Iron Man.
Steaaaaaaam
