Hawguy #5 :), this book is also very very good and def came across with the James Bondish vibe that I think Fraction was going for. Pulido is a fantastic choice as a rotating artist with Aja too.

Action Comics #15 Holy crap, this was a super Morrison issue. Though it provided the background info on the villain.

Avengers #1 was so good. Great intro issue that used the movie team to make it super easy to hand it to a "newer" reader. First of all, a great cap moment.

Then the next step of where the intro was leading.

Amazing Spider-Man #699 shows us how the Ock/Pete switch worked out. (Too bad it didnt happen when some of us speculated did, because this means the Lizard arc was just bad :/ )

Ultimate Comics The Ultimates 18.1, the stage is set for Reconstruction (also probably Humphries' best issue).

    Still hate the design of the Ultimate Iron Man armor. I hate those weird little pea pod gaps.

    That's some wonky Iron Patriot art.

    hawkeye #5, had a hard time looking past the art.

    pulido was really trying for what aja had going, just wasn't as... clean? wasn't as... angular? i dunno how to explain it, i'm bad at arts. the panel where they kick in the door really stuck out to me, their legs, something just didn't feel right.

    There is something to the composition of Aja's art, some way he puts his panels together, that I haven't seen reproduced.

    The sound effects in #5 were hilarious, though.

    KERKUFUFFLE!

    KGLASS!

    FOOTOMP!

    I... what?

    I actually really like Pulido's art, it has a certain Kirby-esque feel to it, with toby jug faces and weird twisted poses. Matt Hollingsworth's colours really help the book feel consistent.
    Has Pulido ever drawn Fantastic Four? I expect it would look like silver age FF and I would read the shit out of it.

    I got this Tumblr and I don't know how to use it.
    Decide on the next line by the rhyme when I choose it.

    Ultimate Inferno already posted those awesome last 2 pages of Avengers, and the first few pages have been floating around in previews for awhile, so I won't repeat those, but I do want to post something from my favorite book of this week, so here is the gorgeous iconographic from the back of the book.

    In All New X-Men I am loving the swirling effect Immomen is using to illustrate Cyclops' loss of control of his optic blasts.

    Greg Rucka's Stumptown (#4) was excellent this week.

    It features the best car chase I've seen in comics.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Ho! Ho! Ho! Drink Coke!Registered User regular
    Dang, better than the car chase in Hawkeye #3?

    2000AD #1812 is the full-length conclusion to the Judge Dredd/Simping Detective/Low Life secret crossover, and features Dirty Frank's final confrontation with Enormo Overdrive:

    Wow. That is awesome manifest.

    But what happened to the sharkman's orbiting remora?

    But what happened to the sharkman's orbiting remora?

    Just the change of artist, I guess. The final episode was a full 28 page story rather than the three separate eight-pagers from previous issues, so they had it all drawn by a single artist (Carl Critchlow).

    Publishing a collected edition of this story's going to be tricky. Only thing that really makes sense is a single volume of all three storylines, ordered by publication date. But even that'll look a bit odd, because the stories started at different times.
