MOTW 7/31/13: Hope You've Got Sunblock

TexiKen

Uncanny X-men #9, triplets torn asunder! SHIELD Agents on vacation!

Indestructible Hulk #11, new ROB is much different than previous ROBs:

Antimatter

More Than Meets The Eye 19 was gorier than anticipated but did have some good moments, particularly with Whirl and Cyclonus

Centipede Damascus

so how are the Stepford Cuckoos not a hive-mind anymore?

TexiKen

Maybe they can turn it off or something.

(I think it's forgotten about, like how they're supposed to have diamond hearts)

RedDelicious

They've always been able to go off and do their own thing if they choose, even in Morrison's run.

they were never really a hive mind the way you are thinking, they've always still had individuality, they just chose not to embrace it most of them time.

Still not as good as the Paul Jenkins cameo in Sentry

Since my Uncanny X-Men moments are taken, I give you Tony Stark and Rocket Racoon discussing Gamora.

UltimateInferno

Batman Inc #13 A great end to one of the greatest batman runs ever. Batman never dies!

Ultimate Comics Ultimates #28 Fialkov has quickly shot up as one of the best Ultimate universe writers(past and present). The Ultimates defeated? The Dark Ultimates get a new member?

Tony now appears to be an AI or something like Athony was (maybe it is even Anthony?) after being killed by Reed Richards last issue.

Gonna strongly disagree with the opinion on Fialkov. I think the plot is really working but he doesn't have any of the characters voices down and it kinda hurts to read the dialogue.

And I have strong suspicions that the story is of Hickman/Bendis design.

Who's the narrator in those Batman Inc. pages?

Thanks. That's who I was hoping it was.

I got a whole grip of books today since I got to go to Portland for a Batman '66 signing by Parker, Case, and Mike fucking Allred. I got the Hawkeye annual and pizza dog issue, the last three parts of the Captain Marvel crossover (may have to get pt 2 digitally), GotG, Lazarus 1, the Adventure Time Summer Special, FF #10 (also signed by Allred).

Can't wait to actually get to read comics again.


EDIT: Read Hawkguy 11 and Captain Marvel 14. OMG ... THE FEELS.

Gustav

Is Mike Allred as devishly handsome as I imagine him to be?

Crimsondude

Yes

Absolution: Rubicon #2; After going on a murderous vigilante spree in the first series, and narrowly escaping prison, John Dusk has returned, still fighting his war on crime. But now, he's partnered up with the aging, unpowered vigilante, the Urban Legend, and amoral teenager, Happy Kitty.

Unfortunately, his enemies in the city government have unleashed one of his old arch-villains, the Polymath, who can adapt to survive any situation.

I should really post the first series sometime. It's got all the gore and nastiness of something like Kick-Ass, but I think it actually does some interesting world-building stuff, and pulls off some really cool character moments.

Wolverine and the X-Men #33; Quentin Quire fights to survive the Hellfire Academy, with an unforeseen ally.

Daredevil #29; Trapped in a locked-down courthouse, surrounded by hidden Sons of the Serpent, Daredevil must separate friend from foe, and keep his defendant alive.

This issue had a lot of cool moments, but Asian lady cop's pretty awesome.

Harbinger #14; Faith finally gets to be a real superhero.

That close-up of her eyes is great. Steely determination is the best.

Sex #4; Kenan the dishwasher shows an unexpected talent, when someone makes trouble in his place of work.

Sorry for the crappy image, but Comixology can be a bit of a boner when it comes to double-page spreads. Still, I love the colors and energy in these two pages. Great fight composition.
