MOTW 2/13/13: Just a buncha super dudes hangin' out......in space

TexiKen

Lil Gotham #5, Valentines Day and Joker gets doused with a potion that makes him irresistable to the ladies, with a lot of BTAS references, plus the heroes in space don't have to deal with the holiday:

Batman & Robin #17, Alfred has a good bad dream (boom, headshot):

Manhattan Projects #9, the Illuminati revealed, and the MP take out the trash.

Lawndart

I've already posted it in the awesome moments thread, but the Yuri and Laika pages from Manhattan Projects #9 made my entire week.

But then again, I'm a sucker for anything involving dogs, machine guns, and the early Soviet space program.

Tairu

Demon Knights #17. I love Horsewoman.

Batman & Robin #17 is such a nice one-shot issue.... hits me right in the feel-good zone. But, it also makes me really suspicious of the rumors about Damian's impending demise.

It also has one of the coolest Joker renditions i've yet seen.

Threshold #2 is pretty great. Two issues in and I can tell this is gonna be one of my favorite series. Captain K'Rot showed up in this issue and he is pretty much exactly what I expected him to be.

I'm getting such mixed vibes from Manhattan Projects. It's one of the reasons I haven't picked up the first trade yet.

Antimatter

First issue is free on comixology

Balefuego

this thread was so low on the page that I didnt see it okay OKAY now let us never speak of it again

Uncanny X-Men #1

Balefuego

Wolverine and the X-Men #25

The Quentin Quire school of leadership:

Elderlycrawfish

I love that Quentin's made psychic gun his thing.

Psychic knife? Psssh. Eat brain buckshot, dinos!

UltimateInferno

Batman #17 Batman confronts the Joker. (Also love even with them all being Joker Venom'd, Alfred brings the family together)

Ultimate Comics X-Men #22 The divided mutants part ways. Poor Bobby

Balefuego

Booooo Ultimate Inferno, you didn't post the parts of Batman I would have

UltimateInferno

Sorry

Paint them a word Picture!

nightmarenny

X-men disperse or whatever!

Balefuego

Avengers Arena #4

Reptil and Chase have a bro moment.

Later on, Chase meets another new friend.

Mike Danger

First post gets the heart because they brought back frickin' Baby Doll for Lil' Gotham.

So the flashback in Batman...

I found it hard to tell...

Was the Joker gagged there or have they retconned the Jokers look to include the smile scars?

Man, when did Quentin become so great?

Not sure how I feel about the Avenger's Arena spoiler.

I kind of hope he loses the amulet by the end. Part of the appeal of Runaways was that the characters didn't buy into the whole superhero thing and get costumes or consistent code names.

Suddenly becoming a legacy hero would undermine that.

Also, Chase's version of the costume looks dumb.

cardboard delusions

Tough call for my MOTW - anyone want a code for Uncanny X-Men - pm me.

Chris isn't dead, so I don't think it will be permanent

Balefuego

Oh jeez, Fraction goes for the heartstrings in Fantastic Four #4

Reed makes first contact with a friendly alien race who just so happens to have a sacred cave on their planet with imagery of what appears to be the F4. Then, after Reed and Sue have a fight when she realizes he's hiding something (the molecule decay) from her...

sweetcreamscoops

Threshold #2
We witness an epic battle between Captain K'Rot and Blue Beetle.

I was worried with Chase getting the amulet but it makes snese if you think about it. With all chris went through to master the armor chase dosent have that reinforcement. The slightest push and he's going to fly off the deep end because of the unbalancing that the armor is going to cause in him. the extreme mood swings and anger issues he's going to be put through might be where the darkhawk=death comes from

If you can't tell i'm a huge Darkhawk fan

My moment of the week comes from the last page of Wolverine and the X-Men:

nightmarenny

I love so much of that page.

Its tough to say but I think the best thing is just the idea of Wolverine editing a page for spelling.

Mike Danger

I can't decide what I like more: "make sure Quire signs up for this", or the idea that there are multiple superhero bowling teams.

Undead Scottsman

Funkmaster Doop, eh?

Radius

That is a wonderful page.

vagrant_winds

Oh man, that is gold.

I love it when comics have pages of letters, web blogs, news reports or the like. The Unwritten does it fabulously and I'm glad it's done so hilariously up there in WatXM.

Alas, the League of Nazi Bowlers might not be able to show up.

Weaver

oh man, clearing it with krakoa

Fakefaux

Oh my, yes:

I've been looking forward to this for a while. There's been too much Lex Luthor lite, and not enough Halloween-themed insanity.
