GLC #42 is one of the best issues of the year, as it has a bunch of story as well as something great on each page. This is the clincher though:

An Alpha Lantern is killed, and Kyle goes to rescue the Alpha's built-in battery from the BLs:

    Yup. I'd definitely say this is the best issue of the entire Blackest Night run thus far. Tomasi and Gleason nailed it. The writing was perfect, and Gleason was at the top of his game this issue for art.

    I can decide between the last page of GLC or the last page of Dark X-Men...
    X-MAN!

    Batman & Robin #6 was a trainwreck, but the end reveal that
    Dick has Bruce (in his uniform) preserved in his new penthouse lair

    seems to be why the book will be delayed

    AoA was actually an alternate universe that probably still exists in some way.

    Unless you're saying that the AoA will never happen to us, in which case you are going to be embarrassed when Apocalypse wins the presidency with his "Survival of the Fittest" healthcare plan and sets everything into motion.

    Deadpool #17 was again a good issue, with a bizarre play on a throw away line of dialogue:
    So Domino stops DP form killing Mercury's dad, and drugs him and ties him up in a motel for a bit, and we get this line:

    dp17a.jpg

    But DP is still going after Mr. Mercury, who is guarded by bonehead HAMMER agents in the SF subway. Wolverine and Domino try to get to Mr. Mercury before DP continues his hunt:

    Here's some scans of Dark X-Men.
    Osborn asks Mystique's opinion on the new team, and she complies.

    img107.jpg

    img108.jpg

    img109.jpg

    The team are sent to deal with a strange mass hysteria that keeps happening, in which the people mumble about being X-Men, and in the most recent case they almost walked off a cliff. Osborn doesn't want his X-Men brand getting a bad wrap, so he wants them to deal with it.

    img110.jpg

    img111.jpg

    After the man "remembers", he starts pumping out crazy energy. Pointer loses control and starts destroying things by accident, specifically a public library and a statue of the Mayor. Mimic gains the power of precognition and the future isn't a happy one. Apparently, he gets a wife, they have a child, and he loses control of his powers again and fries the baby.

    Mystique tries to get him under control so he can go take care of Pointer, but he's losing it. So, Dark Beast sprays some concoction in his face and he gets enough control enough to pursue Pointer.

    Then, the man who started all of this starts to act a little more coherent.

    She would totally wrap Omega and Mimic around her finger, waiting for the moment to convince all the people she does therapy sessions with to rise up and have her become head of HAMMER.

    Where did I say sex? She wraps them around her finger mentally, like with Graviton. She basically becomes the person pulling the strings with people who have infinite amounts of power.

    Batman and Robin #6
    28vf1i1.jpg

    This scene seemed like a bit of an homage to The Killing Joke, where Joker refuses Batman's offer of help towards the end of the book. He even does that thing where he grabs the bridge of his nose.

    R.E.B.E.L.S. #10
    mra6ic.jpg

    wu1p3d.jpg

    Everyone should be reading REBELS. If you like cocky protagonists and space opera, it's a must-read.

    The Anchor #2
    2cgn0cz.jpg

    2lx8il5.jpg

    The Anchor is a man whose soul fights demons in Hell, while his body does the same on Earth. Written by Phil Hester and drawn by Brian Churilla, it is terrific, and anyone who likes supernatural books should go buy it immediately.

    Strange #1
    qwy44m.jpg

    Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme or not, does not fuck around. It's written by Mark Waid, and has some very neat art by Emma Rios that's 1/2 manga, and 1/2 trippy ass Steve Ditko.
