It might be because liking it what ironic hipsters do but Thor and the Warriors Four #3 was just a bunch of happy in land full of sad:

And Thanos Imperative #1 has the all important Thanos/Drax showdown:

    Thor and the Warriors Four looks awesome. Rofl is that tiny Thor riding tiny Beta Ray Bill?

    And I need to catch up on galactic marvel again right the fuck now.

    I'm amazed no one's sporting a Tiny Thor avatar yet.

    I am sorely tempted with that shot of Thor riding Bill. Priceless.

    I don't think he's riding him, I think he's just standing behind him. That's not Thor's leg, that's Bill's belt.

    Edit: Wait, I'm wrong. Don't get old.

    Yeah, Tiny Thor rides Baby Ray Bill a lot in the issue, like so:

    Shaolin Robot could totally kick M-11 and Machine Man's butts:

    He's actually a robot made on I Ching code from the Terra Cotta warriors era, given free will as a dying gift by his creator.

    They've pretty much moved beyond the original concept of alternate versions of heroes we know and love as flesh eaters - now it's various heroes from the actual Marvel universe fighting zombies across dimensions, which I find a lot less depressing to read, personally.

    And I bet money that Galactus will make some comment about the Cancerverse's life energy being 'unpalatable.'

    Oh it's a good shot, it's just Marvel shouldn't be acting like their shit doesn't stink. It was only last year ASM was filled with weird stuff about rape/not rape and whatever they tried to do with Peter and his roommate.

    And I mean, DC could respond with a shot about how stupid Red Hulk's reveal was.

    In fact, I encourage these cheap shots now, let them fight until there is nothing left.

    The fun part was watching Sandman explode the wrong Spider-Man from the inside. That wasn't disturbing at all. I like the zombie concept but when you've got Machine Man and the duck doing the fighting you've really taken it as far as it can go.

    But then Deadpools recent arc there has been fun.

    So is this week just a low comic week? Haven't seen many comics released.

    Thanos Imperative was really cool.

    Also, the Batman Beyond story from DC actually felt like a Batman Beyond story. Bruce and Terry both "sounded" exactly like their cartoon counterparts. Also, I was surprised that it wasn't just a vague retread of the BB concept, it actually follows directly from the cartoon. Like, it could seriously be canon for the DCAU, and they directly reference relevant episodes.

    The preview kind of made me wish his stuff wasn't coloured. Or maybe I wish it was inked? I don't know, something muddy about a lot of the pages.

    This is nifty to hear. Maybe I'll get the trade.

    Who is writing it again? And what was the big issue 1 reveal that the writer hyped constantly?

    The coolest thing is they are just standing there. No glowing corona, no roaring warcries, just calmly standing there as if just passing the time of day, while in front of them etire fleets are competely annihilated. Love that. And yes there was another set of boots, wonder who that is? Perhaps a Celestial or something?

    I liked the Batman/Superman annual a lot for the art. I wasn't sold on Guedes' work on Superman, but he draws a mean Batman Beyond. It looked and felt just like Batman Beyond, just with more detail and dimension.

    The writing was average, feeling too antiquated and expository, the way a lot of older writers tend to write. "This is harder than genetics homework!"

    This is how Levitz's new Legion felt as well. Kind of crummy, because I used to really dig that kind of style when I was really into Showcase and Essential volumes. Now I can hardly deal with it.

    MotW: Hawk and Mock's first issue. Well written, nice art, characters have potential. I seriously hope this book lasts beyond a couple story arcs. The only thing I didn't like was Bobbi acting like a bitch all the time. It was funny at first, but after a couple pages I was thinking maybe she needs a nap or something.
