MotW 05/08/13: Now we let the hammers talk

Turambar

Uncanny Avengers #8. Ragnarok is now

Thor smashes half of SWORDs Peak Station before getting help from Sunfire


The Apocalypse Twins want to make sure that neither Red Skull nor Kang win out in the coming battles
That somehow means they need to drive a wedge between the Avengers and the X-Men

Avengers #11. We're going to have to do something about Doug

Natasha knows how black ops are done


Sam and Bobby continue to be awesome

AIM formal wear!

I was going to post a scan of Shang-Chi kicking ass with his new Stark-powered nunchuks, but Carol Danvers is just too smoking hot

Avenging Spider-Man #20. Hmph, it feels like I should make a joke here.

Ock goes aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier and meets the Secret Avengers with plans of breaking the Chameleon out



However, at the same time, super russian assassins board the Helicarrier with plans of killing Chameleon to keep him quiet
Chameleon escapes and kills two people, causing Ock a short fit of bad conscience


Then the Hulk shows up

Thor: God of Thunder #8. I've been having impure thoughts about my grandfather

Young Thor meets his future granddaughter and goes for the very definition of a Hail Mary


Meanwhile, Old Thor and Now Thor reach the Godbomb planet in their Dragonship


Shark punching occurs and finally the three Thors are united

Aww yeah

Awesome week
Probably 4 of my 5 favourite series right now

That Deodato art is horrendous.

Adventures of Superman #2, kids play superheroes on a farm:

Li'l Gotham #10, Cinco de Mayo, it involves Tokyo Drifting and Dick and Babs on a date and it's just everything that the DCnU isn't, even if Katana still feels like Nguyen was originally drawing Cass:

BlankZoe

Superman is looking

interesting

SightTDW

Adventures of Superman #2 was very fun, but not at all easy on the eyes.

That series did get me buying digital exclusives though. Lil' Gotham is great. I need to get all of that.

Suicide Squad 20 The newest character follows in their sibling's footsteps.

Crimsondude

Is she thicker than in #1?

I'm also assuming the colorist had to cover up some of Cheetah's pencils.

sweetcreamscoops

Waller? I don't know, maybe.

Crimsondude

Yeah. Waller.

I cannot abide her being supermodel thin now. That's whack.

Werewolf2000ad

Constantine #3: "The good news is, we're not in London anymore."

vagrant_winds

As much as people lament the end of Hellblazer, Constantine has been bloody great in JLDark and I'm glad his solo series is turning out to be great as well.
And man, I love that art.

Mike Danger

So what does Waller expect

James is going to bring to Suicide Squad?

sweetcreamscoops

Stradegy I suppose. If we go by "black mirror" the guy plotted several crimes and was only found out because he told everyone.

Uhhmmm...

isn't that likely to blow up in her face? How could it go any other way?

Also, at first I thought that Johnathan Crane was the guy she was talking to, and that he was going to be the team psychiatrist like Doc Samson used to be for X-Factor.

Fearless Defenders

Hello? Hello, are you for hire?

She has a team full of killers and psychos. I would think she knows it can all go south at any given moment.

Yeah, but in this case she's picking someone uncontrollable who's probably smarter than she is, and she's giving him some degree of control over the team's operations to boot.

It seems utterly irrational.

sweetcreamscoops

Again, I'm sure she realizes this but finds the payoff bigger than the risk. Waller has made risky decisions that have blown up in her face before. But she also is a master manipulater and probably has several backup plans not to mention a bomb in his neck in case he tries something.

In fact, the next issue is about the team taking over Bel Reave. So I'm sure Kot knows that someone like James is hard to control but wants to show us that Waller doesn't fuck around when it comes to this team.

eh, I like it better than the "80% shadows" style he used to use

That's a really low bar.

Batman #20: Obviously fanservice, but it works on me damn it.

Solar

Thor: God of Thunder is without a doubt the best thing that Jason Aaron has ever written, and the best thing that Esad Ribic has ever drawn

it's fucking amazingly good

We had Kirby cosmic, and it was great. We had Simonson's style, and that ruled.

But what Esad Ribic is doing amazes me. He's managed to keep that sci-fi element in a fantasy book, a cosmic element that is integral to Thor, but take inspiration from artists like Moebius to create a new style for the God of Thunder. And it compliments Aaron's style really well, and vice versa.

Damn, but I love it so much. It's my new Uncanny X-Force.

Avengers Assemble #15AU: A devastated Britain finds an unlikely hero.

turns out Computer Graham is a bigger hero than he thought





I found this article that dissects all the British-isms in the issue. It's kind of amazing.

Werewolf2000ad

Oh Christ, that's Computer Warrior or whatever, isn't it? That guy from the eighties version of the Eagle. Bloody hell, that takes me back. Sitting around in my parent's shoe shop, reading those stories...

I am such a Ribic fanboy it isn't even funny

Solar

AGGRO IS A WAY OF LIFE!

Crimsondude

Bought DD v4 and all the singles since (##22-25), Assemble 15, hulk 5 or so, and I may have bought Batwoman. I'm psyched.

My MotW was just getting to visit a store for the first time in months (Floating World in Portland). Even if I was dumbstruck at how far behind I am and wishing I could remember what I have and haven't even gotten to read yet or preordered or ordered and was delayed (CM v2. Grrrrrr).

My friend and I were discussing this, and we decided that Thor: God of Thunder is so incredibly Metal that the only way to do it justice would be to paint every single page on electric guitars, and paint the covers on shitty 80s vans containing those guitars.

Rick Remender loves a good body count, doesn't he?

tehjester

haven't finished reading all the comics i got (have Thor, Avengers and Uncanny Avengers left) but thus far, the Doctor Who reference in the AU tie in of Avengers Assemble was pretty great! EX TER-R-R MIN ATE?
