MOTW 10/16/13: This moment is everything

TexiKen

Avengers #21, the theme is "children rebel"

New Avengers #11, why don't you just put the whole world in a bottle, Reed?

where are the NA? Talking to Builders from the other universe that are planning to blow up their earth, because earth is the reason everything's messed up:

Uncanny X-Men #13, Princess Powerful vs. The Proletariat!

HadjiQuest

Justice League of America #8, Martian Manhunter and Stargirl investigate what happened to the members of the other Justice Leagues...

...and find the Flash in his virtual prison cell, consumed by a need for speed.

Centipede Damascus

The speech bubbles/panel flow in that second page is awful.

Still think he's going to wind up in the Living Brain at some point.

could somehow end up in the symbiote depending on how darkest hour goes

Brain Boy #2; "Wanna know what it's like to be a falling telekinetic? Throw a ball as hard as you can away from you, then run after it! And if you don't catch it, you die!"

Here, Brain Boy has just come into contact with another superpowered person, with the ability to nullify other superpowers in the area. The guy's being kind of a dick about it, taunting Brain Boy about how helpless and hopeless he is, prompting this:

Nowhere Men #6; "We get it: You're and evil super-genius and you're smarter than all of us combined."

I wish I could adequately explain what's occurred up to this point, but seriously, just go pick up the TPB.

Six Gun Gorilla #5; "Din't ya ever stop 'n conceive'a the notion ya might be yer own bad guy?"

Rocket Girl #1; "I'm here to save everyone."

Officer Dayoung finds that the police of 1986 aren't particularly fond of teenagers with jetpacks, even after they've disarmed a dangerous gunman.

Zero #2; "Do it."

Rocket Girl actually came out last week, but anyone who misses characters like Stephanie Brown or Jaime Reyes, would do well to pick this up. Plucky teenage adventures abound, the art is gorgeous, and the setup is really intriguing, taking place in an alternate 2013 that has a police department staffed by teenagers, and a 1986 New York that's appropriately crummy neon-lit.

Munch, how do you read so many comics that elicit such feels?

I could barely get through what little you kindly provided.

Munch

I read sassy porn comics to balance it out.

HadjiQuest

I thought Zero was some hardcore modern espionage/spy book from the way that it was being promoted. I passed on it just because I don't like that genre.

Now I'm so confused

AtomicTofu

It is definitely an espionage book.

Gustav

Dude, Tradd Moore's Art linework and that style of coloring were made for each other.

It's not like, Tom Clancy or anything. The first issue has the protagonist stuck between Palestinian and Israeli super-soldiers, while he tries to retrieve a MacGuffin. This issue shows him as a youngster, carrying out his first mission.

It's not super fun and lighthearted, but there's a streak of dark humor in it, which makes it feel a bit more human, than many other espionage books I've read.

And I like the logline for the book, which is basically, "What if James Bond realized he was working for the bad guys?"

Munch

Oh, here's a neat digital comic I bought; Boo #2.

The setup is that there's a reality show featuring six horror anthology icons, each tasked to tell a scary story, or otherwise be eliminated. So each issue features a framing sequence about the horror hosts, as well as three short stories, by a variety of creators. It's a lot of fun.
