GL #46:
This is interesting because I think the people in the star sapphire crystal have never been identified, but it's Hawkman and Hawgirl's original bodies:
They then destroy the planet, so the Indigo teleports Hal, Sintestro, and Carol to Korugar where Mongul fights Sinestro. A big fight, with the big moment here:
And then the Yellow Power Battery arrives and Sinestro throws Mongul in there so as not to kill him (yet). Sinestro declares himself leader of the Black Lantern resistance and then Abin and Arin Sur show up.
Johns seems to be moving Sinestro into redeeming territory with this issue (Korugar thinks he's there savior now)
And Runaways #14 has a completely misleading cover.

Now that I'm caught up, I'm pretty much willing to ruin GL for myself but not GLC or actual Blackest Night.
Although I didn't really think issue 45 brought anything at all to the table, 43 and 44 were great supplements to Blackest Night, and this issue looks to be the same. Johns is doing pretty well at balancing the books so far. Hope he keeps it up.
So my MotW will have to be based on the trades I bought and read for the trip.
Secret Six -- I read the whole first trade of this and was blown away by how good it was. I haven't read anything at all with these villains in it. They were all competely new characters to me, and by the end of the 7th issue, all of them had really grown on me quite a bit. Also, the big ending on the bridge was pretty damn awesome.
Y: The Last Man -- I read the first trade of this and was pretty blown away by the depth of the story. I didn't really have any expectations going into this book, other than a friend telling me it was really good. I really enjoyed the first volume and am looking forward to reading more of it on the return journey home later this week.
One final note: I'm visiting Toronto. I heard The Silver Snail is a good comic shop. I might try to make it out there before I leave. Are there any other shops worth seeing, or any that are better? I don't have a lot of opportunity on this trip to browse comic shops so I need to make the most of my time.
Yeah great store, probably the best you'll find out there. Hope you like action figures.

"What's this coat made of? Rabbit? Fox?"
"Unicorn."
"There's no such thing as unicorns."
"No. Well, not after we finished turning them into coats. We had no idea there were so few of them."
Still awaiting my MOTW, as I'm still too sick to go the store without infecting everyone with Skrull flu.
Hush plans to kill Harley by pushing her off a building, when we have this:
And then the Joker's henchmen try to kill Harley for dating Bruce/Hush, and the Sirens save her and Hush, in an attempt to kill the Sirens, brings down the Joker's blimp, and is a hero.
And then Harley thinks about Joker loving her because only he would kill her like that if he really loved her:
and then boom!
And a nice twist in Superman #692:
I am kind of surprised to see something this random from Marvel. I think I have to give the fight in the second story in Shang Chi my MOTW, but New Mutants also delivered way harder than expected (especially with Zachary Baldus art), so my runner up motw is feeling optimistic about new mutants and necrosha both.
edit: Runner up MOTW for third place: spider-man and black cat are my OTP and I don't care what anyone says.

Silver Snail is pretty awesome.
At a one of Kevin Smith's Toronto Q/A Sessions, someone asked him when he was going to open a Secret Stash here. He replies "You don't need one, you have the Silver Snail."

X-Factor #49
Secret Warriors #8
Canadian Thanksgiving. When we celebrate the start of the new hockey season.
Those were probably my two moments. I might scan them if I'm feeling sassy tomorrow.
"Don't call me Mr. Clops."
They're Space NAZIs without the racism.
Hence why Sinestro looks like Hitler now.
and i really hope the next issue doesn't have like 30 Laura clones, because that will be really disappointing
Is it weird that I read his first line from Sirens completely in Hamills voice?
(The first book has Sentry somehow appearing in their world and eating everyone)
So
It's certainly a creative way to quarantine the infection.

Tragic though. And doesn't deal with the ones that snuck into the main world and I don't recall
This make me happy.
Also, I really liked Secret Warriors #8.
Powergirl is a lot of fun, I got that and the Secret Origins, Superman this week.
And my moment of the week is from Secret Warriors #8. The scene with Alex and Norman, and the little smirk Ares gives afterwards.
" No, I'm eccentric... only poor people are called crazy."
Everything has come to a head and he's facing down White Fang (wife of the guy he accidentally killed in the first Hood mini) and Force, a Z list hero who's been brutalizing his crew. Force has challenged him to a 1v1 battle and Parker is using this as an opportunity to prove himself to his gang.
Things come to a head and Satana tells Parker that the Hood was simply a token of his pact with Dormamu and that not using/destroying the hood itself was pointless.
This leads to Parker sending away his cousin John because Parker doesn't think he's reliable anymore
I just love that The Hood basically has the standard secret identity superhero thing going on but inverted.
I got it. It was enjoyable. Mostly it was short stories of the JLA meeting assorted characters from the past(most who I didn't actually recognise, but I'm sure they have some history). There were some fun moments, like
