The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Haha, yeah. I randomly chose to read the regular issue before the Annual, and luckily this is the correct order. The annual was just awesome, though. Orson's adventures were so old school pulp fiction. Also, the last non-Chaykin section was drawn by Jelena Djudjevic, and it was the best art in the entire issue. She and Marko need more interior work.
My shop sold out of Iron Fist before I got there, but they had like ten of the annuals. I mean, on one hand, I'm glad it's selling well, but on the other hand, you know, I'd like to read it.

Let's just say that things in the issue did not progress in a way I would have predicted.
Also: the shit is getting complicated. "Some questions answered, more raised" type deal. Stuff. Going down.

Any part of the Iron Fist issue with Chaykin art was eye rape.
Allstar Batman is the most hilarious comic ever. And batman was just fucking awesome

Yeah, I picked up the last three issues of Batman. Awesomesauce.
At least Chaykin didn't do the whole book. Or the cool parts. Is what I kept telling myself.
Todd: "youre nothing but a second rate Batman." "No, you are!" as Todd gets owned. It's funny because its true.
Then shortly after when the Society shows up, "Someone just hit me with a crowbar already". Again, funny because its true.
Teen Titans 51
The end cliffhanger, while obviously not going to happen next issue, was still pretty cool. The Prometheus fight was pretty good too. And Rose wondering if she should be happy or upset that Conner tortures her father in the future was funny stuff.
Starlord 3
Groot was awesome. Love the role reversal for him and Rocket and spitting on him was funny as hell.
The Gabe image at the end reminds me of Wolverine in the sewers during the Hellfire Club stuff way back in Uncanny X-Men. The whole bloodied and beaten and the only hope for the rest of the team. Very cool stuff.
Immortal Iron Fist 9 & Annual
"Bring me my wenches"! And "Sweet fucking Christmas it's cold"!
Immortal Iron Fist Annual was a whole lot of eye rape. It was a good, fun tale about Orson's past but I dont see why this story was so important that Danny had to lose the first round and travel back to Earth and go to France. Nothing major was revealed. I think it would have been better to stay and just learn more from the Book of Iron Fist than find out his father got his money from Orson. Did I miss some major reveal here? Did Orson's daughter just want him to go get more information on the father she never knew or something? I hope Fraction and Bru do more with this next issue of the main series to make this so important he had to leave the tournament.
Ill see if I can upload some scans later if people are interested.

This is why I added it to my pull list a week after I got it.
"Not one word! I've taken enough grief about calling my goddamn car the goddamn Batmobile! I'm the goddamn Batman and I can call my goddamn car whatever the hell I want to call it!"
Because hey fuck mainstream DC, which I consider series starring mainstream characters.
"Man let's do this event because shit's confusing. Man that made it more confusing, let's try to fix it. Oh fuck now we need to do another one after we jump all our storylines ahead a year and do 2 weekly series."
Also I'm just not a big fan of DC for the most part.

wiggin, you like to do a thing where you say something retarded, then someone calls you retarded, then you say, "Why, because I do these retarded things?"
Did I fucking say that? Did I?
Pretty sure I didn't.
I said that there are people who just think "Yeah, he's being stupid again" and then move on without responding. You seem to be unable to do this. Fuck off.
To be fair, it's generally true that you can't say anything around here that amounts to "I don't really like to read DC" without someone getting on your case about it. I mean, Lol!'s situation is more or less true for me (because I'm far more invested in Marvel than DC), but I don't remind people of it. At any rate, Lol! shouldn't make a point of reminding us of his bias against DC and Keith shouldn't have a knee-jerk reaction to everyone who says they don't like/are biased against DC. At least not in a thread about moments of the week.
I've said it before. As long as Frank Miller only writes HIS OWN characters, I'm fine with him.
The second he writes someone else, he's worthless.
"i want to read that but i have a policy that says "DON'T READ THINGS YOU WANT"
I gotta agree with Keith. If I ever see someone in a Moment of the Week thread tell me how awesome a comic I don't read was that week, I tend to pick it up, regardless of who is in it, etc.
Unless it's Countdown.
And Mask: It's more that he's bitching about how he wants to read it, but has a policy not to.
We're not gonna fucking arrest you because you picked up Allstar Batman and Robin and you have a policy not to.

Green Lantern (John): You see me? I would look good with a bald head. maybe grow a goatee to finish the whole look.

Please tell me that's not an actual line of dialogue.
I want McDuffie on JLA until he has no more JLU references to make
"Let me take you to school, suckers...
... in CHEMISTRY."
I also never thought I'd see the day when Batman was calling thugs "Sweetheart" and "Boy of mine."

That was actually an incredibly disturbing sight.
but so far all of ASBaR.
But my strict no-mainstream DC policy only makes exceptions for Flash, Green Lantern, and maybe Green Arrow. Maybe.

it's always yes, wiggin
you're god damn retarded
As opposed to flying up my ass about it.
Because I wouldn't have said anything more if you hadn't responded.
that's some awesome logic you got going on there.
yep, it's my fault you're a retard
Pretty sure I didn't.
