Thunderbolts #148, in which everyone has lunch and then fights ninjas. Previously, the team had found an Asgardian girl that had been adopted by trolls. Currently, she's living in the Raft, until such time as they can figure out what to do with her.
Also, I guess this came out today? Anyone want to give me some info on that? I've been waiting for Gail to get around to it ever since that issue of BoP where they discuss Beetle's death.

But the actual stuff with Shadowland, could care less about.
But! Marvel Universe vs. the Punisher finishes strong, despite Marvel being jerks and not giving this issue a nice laminate cover like the first 3 issues had. Here's a hint: that cover is accurate:
Maberry writes the best Deadpool so far of current Marvel writers.
Frank is tortured badly by Kingpin, but Deadpool breaks free and saves him (Frank responds by blowing him up again). Then Frank kills everyone:
Kind of wish that was the 616 Spider-Man.
And Frank sends the 68 survivors away, while he stays in Manhattan to clean up the mess.
And finally, the villain in Emerald Warriors #2 is hella creepy, plus Guy and Kilowog bicker like Mini Marvels Hawkeye and Iron Man:
Zardor is a strong psychic like Despero (three eyes and everything), who is abducting psychics to control the Guardians with one mega "hive mind" type telepathy thing. And he vomits up snakes to eat their eyes so they can only see with their minds, freaky stuff.
Blue Elephant, that's not cool, just letting the red lantern munch on some gardener salad while you stand there.
And the Ghost Rider tie in for Shadowland had some good moments in it.

I'd wait months for art that good on my other books.

Although wasn't the first X-Force trade all CC art and it looked much better than Necrosha? Was X-Force delayed any at the start?
This issue is basically Breakfast Club mixed in with Saw and Face/Off, with a bit of Single White Female, like so:

:C
Also, given the reporter's speech is kind of Deadpool-ian, I get the feeling that memory's probably not 100% authentic.

I really love that splash page, as it kind of smacks you in the face as you turn to it. And the following one is a nice little showcase for all the supporting cast members. Emanuela Lupacchino's totally killing it on pencils. There's something kind of Dodson-esque about his work.

Shatterstar actually has a reason for being overreactive, and gets some comeuppance for it later.

I'm willing to bet it won't be a one time thing. But God won't send them in again unless its really hit the fan.
Also, i didn't realise the hand is THAT evil. I mean i knew they were bad guys, but i didn't think they were "God will send his angels to smite them" bad.
God is all about the smiting. A bet he's been dying for someone to call down his wrath on some deserving sinners. Besides Ghost Rider would have probably just killed the shit out of everyone there anyway because its not like there's anything a random ninja can actually do to him.
There's no such thing as overkill. Just "open fire," and "I need to reload."
Why did they give Songbird the ugliest makeover ever? Who at Marvel thought this was the best way to go with the character??
Blame moonstone. And I like her new look. It grew on me. Art like this sold me on it as well.

Then Walker can lead the team. Extreme Justice
The first issue ended with Mach V, Songbird, and Fixer all collapsing in convulsions on the final page, and since then Mach V got messed up during the cave mission and is currently comatose, Songbird was the only team member to get overwhelmed and need assistance during the prison riot, and now Fixer and Songbird both get taken out of the fight before it even starts. You'd think those guys, as the ones who have to keep a leash on the others, would be a bit better at not getting wrecked.
Granted, everyone's taken their licks in this series, but those stand out for some reason.

I don't know who the villain Crossbones choked with a spork was. He's called Mason, but that's not the Tinkerer, and the Tinkerer's son was a good guy.
Well, Wade did kick him in the nuts that one time, so it's only fair.
I think it's a throwback to her former identity as Screaming Mimi, which is this persona she sometimes adopts when she has to be super-badass (not a split personality so much as a way of thinking). Pretty sure Mimi had terrible hair. It's supposed to be ugly, because the Dark Reign made her ugly. INSIDE.
My motw - Empowered, Book 6. Love it. Finally got a look at the oft-mentioned supravil Deathmonger, who is actually fucking terrifying for such a humor-oriented title. This book's got some really great and creative concepts going on.

Karla is a horrendous abortion of a human being.
