Avengers vs. Pet Avengers #4, it warms the cockles of your heart. And it looks like this is the last Pet Avengers book in a while....
Fin Fang Foom and the dragons eat the dragon eggs but spit them out in space for the babies to hatch, and Lockjaw teleports everyone away from the volcano blowing up. Thor apologizes for the Avengers not being more helpful and always rushing to conclusions, then at the new Pet Avengers doghouse Mansion (right behind the real mansion Bendis better reference this!) Lockheed apologizes for helping the dragons, saying he only wanted to help them because he was so alone:
And Foom is on an island with the baby dragons all happy, awwwwww.
Superman/Batman #80 is a much better interpretation of Roberson writing a Superman story, and is half time travel junkets with the villain Epoch, the other half the One Million versions of the characters:
the idea involves the 5th dimension piggybacking on top of the 80's versions of Superman Batman & Robin using Hawking Radiation

Batman saying "I have an idea"
And yet they are also amongst the most awesome words in any comic book.
Of course
He's Batman

The way I see it, Lockheed went depressed drunk and stuff in SWORD, then the Pet Avengers helped straighten him up and fly right, and now that the Pet minis are done for he can go back to Uncanny and be the team pet (Hairball could easily be Mockingbird's pet after this issue).
In a nutshell, Throg was a guy, who became a frog, who found a splinter of Thor's walking stick/hammer, and when he struck it against the ground, he became Throg.
I'm not sure why he had to be a guy before he became a frog, but hey, comics!
edit: Dammit, Tex.
To contribute, X-Factor was pretty good today. It was a Darwin-centric issue, and a nice little breather after the big Vegas/Thor/Hela plot. It also addressed the ramifications of immortality, which is always one of my favorite things to think about in comics.

as in the comic writer walt simonson? appearing as himself like grant morrison or steve gerber?
daaaaaarn
giant squid from the Emplate dimension was still on the island hiding and kidnapping mutants, Rogue and Madison go to investigate:
and then the world goes black leading into Age of X, has something connecting it to the Death persona of Gambit it seems.
I was about to say
I agree that the 1,000,000 characters are awesome, but I think it really speaks to a greater void in the DC line up that the JLA (the big 7) need to return to the front and center and battle Maggedon or whatever else the hell Morrison threw at them when JLA was the best thing ever.

Kathyren Immonen wrote a good comic
The excellent art probably helped a lot.
Also seconding the ASM issue. A little too much Carly set-up but Jameson ordering Spider-Man to help save the rocket was great and
whaaaaaat
saw this over at S_D , really hope Powergirl keeps this pet
Also yes! It was good I swear! The dialogue was readable and sensical and nothing was really out of place except for Rockslide being slightly less of a jerk than usual and an out of blue reference to Bleach for Jubilee's new super speed ability.
Anyone think the page layouts in GLC looked odd. Like each page was half of a splash page.
Jubilee's what?
3DS: 1607-3034-6970
it's been established
Which I like. It's not as if the Flash guys are always going at their top speed they just go at "super-speed"
Same with Quicksilver. None of this speed of sound bollocks, just good old "how fast?" "very fast."
It's a good read except for the pages where Pixie is in it.
I swear, all ya'll need to read her Hellcat
I just did!
What the fuck happened to her between this and Wolverine and Jubilee
