Red Hood and Scarlet, the Pyg victim, get to the baddies before B&R do:
I will say that Morrison just ignores things other writers are doing basically, as his Penguin is nothing like the one Dini has been using for the last years, even with recent developments in Winick's Batman. Again there is a good Dick and Damien mentor moment, those are the best parts of the issues really.
And the art is not that great. Tan has trouble trying to straight up give us clear storytelling on some pages.
I haven't read B&R yet, but I was less than impressed by Philip Tan's art on the Agent Orange story arc. I don't have high expectations for today's issue.

Oh, wow. Fables #88 was putting a big plot into motion:
Tottenkinder leaves to go on some Jedi quest or something to protect the community, and reverts back to her original self, with her old weapons as well (including her gingerbread house and other wicked witch notables from fairy tales):
And good ol' Bufkin has the best page of the week below:
Bufkin's totally going to go like magic super saiyan on them and kick their ass, watch.

Already a fill in artist? Ugh. How many issues is Tan doing? I disliked his art ever since he did Spawn.

X-Men Legacy Annual was very very good. Carey needs to write all the X-books, as he juggles a good story with good characterization, he doesn't flood the damn issue with character ID tags like in Uncanny as he does it with a good story that tells us who is who, and Danger has gone from a weak villain beforehand to a good interesting character under his pen. And Daniel Acuna's art is bitchin', he's totally got a good idea on how to draw Pixie (a teen!) and made Cyclops the mutant Han Solo:
Emplate appeared and messed with Madison Jeffries, the robot Forge-type guy. The X-Men save him, but they get beat easily, so Scott lays down the plan:
And while Rogue is thinking about being the power tutor to the teens, she talks with INdra about what happened in SF:
If they ever make me the writer of an X-book, my first issue will have Rogue getting rid of that accent through speech therapy or some sort of mutant shenanigans.
My motw is definitely Daredevil: The List. After having read a full DD issue by Andy Diggle, I am fully confident that my favorite hero is in good hands.
In good Hands.
That's a bad joke.
I'm not sorry.
I actually really liked Billy Tan's art in this issue too. I liked what I saw of Roberto del Torre's art in the preview, but I'd be all in favor of seeing more DD art by Billy Tan in the future.
All in all, this was a pretty good issue.
Oh, and Lady Bullseye in full ninja garb is hooooooooooot.
Batman and Robin #4. The art may not be as good as Quitely's arc, but there are at least a few good panels. And the writing has gotten BETTER!
Red Hood and Scarlet are great so far. They are modern hipster assholes taking up vigilantism. Red Hood working on his speech for the press release of their duo, Scarlet on twitter, and Red had a genuinely touching scene with her.
If it turns out to be Jason... again, he is written pretty differently. But then again, its Morrison.
And- THE FLAMINGO!!! I have been waiting for him to show up since Batman and Son. The Pink airplane is awesome.
But don't people KNOW him already anyway? He went from Red Hood to Jason Todd to Red Robin to Batman, there was a time when I think he was just Jason Todd though.
Okay, just started on my stack for the week, so I havn't read to many, but so far my MOTW has been X-Factor with
Scott meeting Dr. Doom.
There might be more as I get through the rest of my stack(since I have some of the stuff that people have already mentioned. Must not look at spoilers).
Screw you guys. Rogue's outfit is killer. My Moment of the Week would probably be from Dark Avengers. It's actually pretty cool to see Ares not just "Rawr, I'm the God of War" and actually see the father that he's trying to be for Phobos.
That thing I mentioned before, because I don't feel like looking for scans
Moon Knight is taking out a getaway van, swings through the passenger window, kicks both dudes in the head, truck swerves and tips over on its side
Meanwhile, Marlene is having lunch with a lady who is just going on about her relationship and over the lady's shoulder, through a window, you see the truck skidding down the street with Moon Knight riding on the side like it's a damn surfboard
Oh. Not exactly a "moment", but I really love the way Peter David references Sean Cassidy in regards to Siryn in X-Factor. Like the first time when she bitched Valerie Cooper out and said that he'd be back, because her kind always come back, and in the newest issue when...
The Evil Dupe was like "How about instead of telling you my motivation, I tell you your future. Like how you bring dear old da back.

"Marlene? Are you listening?"
Since Wiggin can't scan images in, much less actually post them, he elected me to bring his moment to life. So here's this. So he'll shut up.
I dunno if its new but I liked Anti-Venom New Ways TO Live. The artist makes Anti-Venom bearable and actually look pretty cool and the framing when Eddie is speaking about going back to his old ways is really great. And theres a great scene with a cameo character but I won't spoil who it is.

Edit: Here are scenes from Streets of Gotham #4, a good issue focusing mainly on the Broker, the real estate agent for villains:

There's a couple pages I need to find scans of and then I will post them
In regards to US Agent,
As for Blackest Night, even if its being a bit predictable with direction, its still enjoyable and a great read so I'm not going to complain.
XBL: JyrenB ; Steam: Jyren ; Twitter
After 24 issues of floundering
They seem to have taken it in a new direction, that direction being "Moon Knight is fucking nuts and as such does some crazy fucking shit"
The entire issue, as with every week it is released.
If it turns out to be Jason... again, he is written pretty differently. But then again, its Morrison.
And- THE FLAMINGO!!! I have been waiting for him to show up since Batman and Son. The Pink airplane is awesome.
Wait
Which is actually a nice twist on "Frank's children die and he goes nuts"
There might be more as I get through the rest of my stack(since I have some of the stuff that people have already mentioned. Must not look at spoilers).
"Is he in my way?"
"No."
"Good. Therefore, I am not in his."
It was cool!
And I also liked Dark Avengers!
Kfrooster, we are consistently on the same page. I like the cut of your jib.

Hahahaha....haha...ooooh man. Funny.
Batman isn't a show off like Moon Knight. Bats goes in, thumps em, then ghosts out ninja style.
But that's kinda Moonknight's power. It's always been that way.
You're thinking of the old Batman.
