GL #50 was hella disappointing. But Batman & Robin #7 was hella good, although to be honest there is really nothing that meant the book needed to be delayed a month due to BN. Cameron Stewart has some great artwork in this, and Morrison is having fun with Batman being in London with all the yobs, yeah?
Yes, that third panel has the word balloons wrong. Editors do nothing

How...hows that going to work?
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Overlord is goddammed insane, and Nick Roche, the awesome artist/writer, put in a nice sight gag for people who hated two certain things from Revenge of the Fallen
for reference, Decepticons attack an Autobot run prison named Garrus 9, and Fortress Maximus was the warden
Especially this scene:
That is one rockin' splash page right there.
Also, I bet the big bad is
If I hear that it's any good, now that Robinson seems to be turning away from serious stories, I may pick it up.
Because I really do want to read about a JLA with Dr. Light, Congorilla, and Starfire on the roster, but only if it isn't terrible.

And rounding out the week, Guardians #22, again the best book Marvel makes each month. It does have some formulaic things, but with good writers formulaic plots are fine because you are able to add character depth. And also because Rocket Raccoon:
In order to stop the Church of Truth from forcing the pregnancy of the Fault blob thing, pilots Knowhere into the Church's planet. That's right, a Raccoon now knows how to pilot the severed head of a Celestial.
And Magus is actually alive and the dead guys are actually alive, Cosmo be praised!
And JSA #35 was a fun issue, if the issues will be like this I won't trade wait for it. Mr. Terrific steals the issue. And pages like this:
are always fun.
Man, I was really frustrated with that word balloon mismatch, probably because I didn't realize what was going on at first, thought the balloons were legit, and tried to make sense of it. Here are two things that flashed through my head in the moments it took me to realize the error:
- This is a virtual reality situation; everything that's going on is in Dick's head. He was injured in an explosion, and is now in a hospital or some such, dreaming about this/having it fed into his mind by a VR machine (I guess this scenario is kinda similar to Philip K. Dick's "Ubik")
Man I cannot wait for the trade of this. This looks awesome as hell.
Dan Hipp drew a Frankenstein thing, with him looking like young Taxi Driver-esque Robert DeNiro. And now I see Undead Robert DeNiro when I look at Frankencastle. It is awesome,
I wish I had more room for more floppies, I kind of want to read Frankencastle right the hell now, but I'm cutting back to indie-ish titles only for floppies.
IMAGE SPOILERS
IS THAT A
Yeah... yeah. I'd say that's bought here too. That's too good.
Frankencastle is now the best punisher story ever told
The guy is great.
And Punisher War Journal did kind of have Punisher in a Venom suit. I think it was a nano active suit or something, but it really looked like a symbiote. He wore it while fighting one of the aliens from Hulk's war party during World War Hulk, I think. Read it in the bookstore.
I have a feeling Frank will be back to normal within a year or two, probably a lot less than that.
Yeah, it ends soon:
So it will be one trade. I would love for them keep Frankencastle around, but I never expected more than one trade out of the idea.
I would like to see Remender continue his non-realistic Punisher stuff though. Gritty, aging Punisher can stay in Max.
The same story has Frank using a gun that shoots knives.
The best part was when Overlord first showed up and the rest of the Decepticons collectively crapped themselves.
That's awesome. I assume that's Bendis still? I haven't been paying attention for like 6 months now.

spoiled for v-scroll
what?
who is that monkey guy. It looks like someone MSPaint copy pasted a monkeys head onto a dude's body.
