MotW 6-30-10: We've already been talking a lot about Wonder Woman #600

Its the end of June. Tons of releases this week. What was good? I had 6 books in my stack but I've only read 1 of them so far, that being Wonder Woman #600.
There were a lot of great moments in that book. The Gail Simone story was great, and I'm very sad now that she's off the book. The story with WW and Power Girl was also a nice, light-hearted story.
And my personal favorite part of the book was Francis Manapul's cover pin-up inside the issue. Thanks go to Jkylefulton for supplying the image:
So what else was great this week?

So... Dexter the Red Lantern cat is the cat from We3?
It all makes sense.
Man I can barely hear We3 mentioned without getting teary eyed.
Hello Kitty Deadpool, bonzai!
he makes it through the portal but basically falls apart, and spends twenty minutes healing himself, then someone shows up who took Wade's handicap parking spot:
And Shuri hurts Doom badly by being able to siphon off all of Doom's money, one hundred billion euro's worth of cash flow.
Guys, please buy the book and trade and hardcover, this is the best Marvel book being published. I sound like a broken record but it's the honest to God truth.
Explain immediately!!
Marvel say the cosmic books will return, but speculation is either as relaunched $4 titles that Marvel has done in the past with other books, or as some cosmic anthology title.
Currently both Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy are on hiatus while Thanos Imperitve is being published. Now I think DnA said both books are coming back after TI but I could be mistaken.
Personally I think they should just put out one 4 dollar cosmic book with both Nova and GotG stories featured after TI ends.
Edit: What Texiken said.
Manapul's art is always awesome. He's easily one of my favorites.

The dialogue is too exposition-heavy, but the setting is interesting and the art is great. Plus it has the line:
"Nuke them alphabetically. I think it displays a feeling of casual contempt."
Also, I am certain there was a joke in Green Lantern 55 making fun of that Red Arrow series.
Part of me thinks being a Red Lantern is a temporary thing, in some cases, now. Once he finds the guy who killed his owner, will it still be full of rage?
Doesn't the ring make them angry?
The scene, courtesy of scans_daily. Love Alan's face.

There's a Tramp Stamp joke here I'm too tired to make properly.
I think the NPH joke from Harold and Kumar is more appropriate here.
That scene would not have worked with a lesser artist.
Other way around, being angry gets the ring's attention.
Someone on s_d explained it fairly well: a Red Ring comes to you at a point where you're filled to the brim with rage. All a red ring does is let the person maintain that level of rage.
If only it wasn't retconned a few pages later.
All I could think about was that ATHF episode where Shake stole Frylock's gem and sold it to a pawn shop.
And Parallax is currently chained up.

Also, did anyone grab Batman Beyond? What is the big reveal at the end of the issue that the writer said would blow minds?
It's set up to be a big story, nice character moments (Supergirl knowing Dick is Batman despite him trying to act like Bruce, Congorilla talking with Jesse Quick), and I'm interested in Alan being controlled by the Star Heart, and the art is good as always. I recommend it.
The reveal
We also get cameos from Micron and an elderly Amanda Waller, the latter being a warden at some kind of future jail for especially dangerous individuals.
Mr. Wayne is never explicitly referred to as Bruce either, though references to Justice League membership and an annual viewing of the Zorro film suggest he is. Nonetheless, it's still possible he's Damian, and Damian would certainly fit better given the placement of #666 between the present and Beyond within continuity.

I am not sure if I would like that arc, although I'll get the trade/hardcover if it comes with levitz's story and gets good buzz.

I found a hardcover in the bookstore today and it is amazing.
It's the Mandarin as Kim Jong Il kidnapping a filmmaker and forcing him to make a movie of his life story. Telling it from the perspective of a completely powerless person makes the Mandarin so much more terrifying.
