MOTW 3/20/13: Why not get exotic?

TexiKen · March 2013

Let's take a moment from laughing at DC's follies!

New Avengers #4, Tony invents a big vacuum!

another earth pops up, but a solution has arrived:

It's that world's Galactus, trying to destroy the other earth because it puts their universe at risk, pretty much a freebie for the NA crew in having to decide what to do, but they still choose to fight to save it. Terrax is his herald.

Avengers #8, you're not the boss of me, Avengerdad!

Indestructible Hulk #5, Bruce's idea of changing won't fly in today's litigious society!

Exclamation Point!

Lawndart · March 2013

Alternate caption for New Avengers #4: "Black Bolt gives Kirby dots one snap up!"

noir_blood · March 2013

Okay, does the full comic make Thor's actions less douchey?

TexiKen · March 2013

not really.

Kevin throws Hulk into orbit, and then Cap says the army needs to stand back while they "subdue" Kevin. Kevin then asks why, and you get that Hyperion scene which leads right into Thor being a jerk. And then they all fight until Nightmask takes Kevin away.

BlankZoe · March 2013

Nah, Thor and Hyperion were kind of huge dicks this issue.

Hulk is understandable since, y'know, Hulk.

My favorite bit of the issue was

Bruce Banner getting the first clue towards the Illuminati being up to some heinous shit.

UltimateInferno · March 2013

Action Comics #18the finale, With a great look at the core of Superman/the ideals he stands for. (also the last page of the issue that i didnt post

)

Saga #11 The Will resolves the cliffhanger from the previous issue!

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #21 Det. Maria Hill does what she wants?

jkylefulton · March 2013

All is forgiven, BKV.

Antimatter · March 2013

well
More Than Meets the Eye is a thing that should be read
issue 15 had so many good little moments that were based on moments in prior issues, just a really good, effective buildup all leading to this ish
unfortunately this means I can't pick one in particular as the moment this week
the ending was brutal when you care about the characters, but it has too much leadup to post
Rung, the ship's psychiatrist, has a talk with Fortress Maximus, the former warden of Garrus 9 who lost it

in spoilers, Ratchet and Drift encounter Overlord

"...that they'll have to make new appointments."

Kyougu · March 2013

I don't get the Ipad recording thing in USM

UltimateInferno · March 2013

It's the whole thing of recording police doing "unlawful" stuff and posting it on the internet, since Hill was in a sense "harassing" them without a warrant in their home.

Legba · March 2013

Saga continues to be wonderful. The posted moment wasn't even my favourite this month.

No images, just a spoiler:

The flashback with his dad was my favourite.

jkylefulton · March 2013

I have to say, Anti's zealotry with the Transformers books finally convinced me to pick everything up in bulk, and its all really well done! I still have issues distinguishing some of the characters from one another, but that's more of my being an old man than a fault with the books themselves. So - thanks for the recommendation, Anti!

And literally breaking and entering.

Damn cops.

Antimatter · March 2013

welcome, jkyle!

sweetcreamscoops · March 2013

JLA #2 Vibe makes small talk with Hawkman.

jkylefulton · March 2013

I'm not sure Jim Halpert face works on that page.

Antimatter · March 2013

i giggled at those panels

second panel's page looks like it's breaking the fourth wall in the best of ways

Kyougu · March 2013

Is Vibe good?

Cause those panels almost sold me on it.

sweetcreamscoops · March 2013

The panels are from JLA but honestly I'd say Vibe's been surprisingly good. The main plot with Argus leaves something to be desired but Cisco's personality and relationship with his brother are great, and it's very light hearted and fun. It's currently more Blue Beetle than Blue Beetle is. Here's a great scene from the preview:

BlankZoe · March 2013

Vibe is pretty dang good, yeah.

Closest thing DC has to a Spider-Man right now.

AtomicTofu · March 2013

Captain Marvel and Hulk's fastball special from Avengers #8 definitely got a grin out of me. The look they give each other is just great.

Romero Zombie · March 2013

So Tony Stark built a death star. Thats something fun

DouglasDanger · March 2013

"It is not my blood." Is an incredible line.

Balefuego · March 2013

Re: New Avengers

Isn't Sol's Hammer a reference to one of the things Valeria talked about in FF?

BlankZoe · March 2013

Yuuuuuup

Balefuego · March 2013

also Texi sadly didn't include my favorite single line from this week, which was in New Avengers when Namor laughs at the idea that one of them is not coming back from this incursion.

"Let hope die, fools. It's time to embrace oblivion. We are already dead."

Undead Scottsman · March 2013

Namor is like that one guy a party that everyone hates. Do we know who specifically invited him to this incarnation of the Illuminati?

Also, why is the Illuminati a New Avengers subfranchise? I never got that.

Balefuego · March 2013

Black Panther invited all of them to Wakanda

and it's because the entire concept of the Illuminati was born in New Avengers (the Bendis version)

BlankZoe · March 2013

Also because a book named "New Avengers" will sell better than one called "The Illuminati".

He's the Captain Speirs of the group.

Which now makes me anticipate there being a "He came back" moment.

Also makes me anticipate the "loot anything not bolted down" phase, if only to watch Namor try to sneak off with the FF's silverware.

Crimsondude · March 2013

By extension that would involve naked Tom Hardy, which tumblr would eat up.

Elderlycrawfish · March 2013

Dang , i didnt realize that was Hardy but now i totally can.

Amigu · March 2013

Vibe and Ultimate Spiderman look rad.

Also

I'm just really really happy that lie cat didn't die.

Crimsondude · March 2013

He was also Twombly in Black Hawk Down.

UnbrokenEva · March 2013

come to think of it

Tom Hardy would make a fantastic Namor

Robos A Go Go · March 2013

I'd sooner go with Fassbender, because he's leaner and has a more enigmatic look to his face.

He could also fill out a green speedo better.

Elderlycrawfish · March 2013

Not so much fill out as utterly destroy that speedo.

I don't think they make spandex strong enough to contain Fassbender.

Crimsondude · March 2013

I don't know. Jon Hamm's giant penis has gotten a lot of press this week, and he definitely deserves to helm a movie franchise. But these are all worthy ideas.
