    Sorry for posting my Ross rant on here...I tend to forget what board I'm posting on sometimes since I don't post on forums often. Anyways, I only buy books every two weeks roughly so my favorite weekly moments are different than others. My favorite moment from my last batch of books I bought was just the entirety of Green Lantern 25. Just 50 pages of FUCKIN' AWESOME. I wish that Prime and Anti-Monitor would have done more damage though....maybe taken out some big names or finally gotten rid of Guy Gardner.

    Amon surrender and was willing giving himself up to 'authorities'. Her killing him was the equivilent of Batman killing hte Joker for what he did to Jason Todd or Barbara or so on. She took the law into her own hands and murdered him, which is what I think kyle meant when he said in coldblood.

    Gage is great, if he became the regular writer I would pick it up again

    I've really enjoyed the Director of Shield stuff. The annual was really good but the general story has been enjoyable as well. The thing I like about it is nobody is all up in Starks face yelling at him. Also he isn't acting like a couple dick all the time.

    Basically:
    The Mandarin is back and cause all kinds of grief for Tony.

    From what I read in the WWH tie ins and skimming through them since he became director of SHIELD, I like it for that reason as well. People aren't yelling at him like he just took their car keys away for breaking curfew. Of course, he's still being fucked over. But unresolved shit from CW has nothing to do with it.
    BTW, Kooning? Best last name for a black character ever.

    So does anyone know how to explain the end of Teen Titans?
    Tim does like a total 360 walking into the batcave at the end and is working with Luthor and Megan (who is now also evil?) WTF? That didn't make any sense at all :(. Also, who was the black haired chick in the cloning vats? One was obviously Bart and the other Connor, but the chick? I didn't have any idea.

    The Titans, apparently thanks to Miss Martain, are caught in a time loop dealie. As for the chick in the tank, we don't know.

    Ah the time loop....I thought that was just a Flash villain trap. What with it being used on Zoom and that kid in the green suit from the last arc in Fastest Man Alive....sorry I forgot his name.

    The entire issue was a clusterfuck if you ask me. People just randomly start fading away. After trying to convince everyone they randomly decide to start killing non essential Titans. Everything just stopped making sense.

    However, in regards to the ending, I assume it just shows that the future Titans changed the future, but most likely for the worse. It seems future Martian Girl managed to get to our MG when she entered her mind and caused her to go all white-martian last issue. She apparently acts all nice for 10 years or so and seduces / mind controls Tim to join her cause. Seems Tim is not taking any chances this time and is cloning everyone instead of just Conner and Bart, most likely to keep them all under direct control, but I could be wrong on that one.

    As for who the two black haired girls are, maybe Batgirl for one of them. THe one on the right has a lot of glare on her hair and it could actually be white hair like Ravager, but I'm not really sure on either of them.

    I think it means that
    all the "titans army are clones", and the girl with the brown hair is probably
    Cassie.

    Yeah, I think one is Cass Cain, since she's supposedly one of the people killed by Duela Dent in the first Titans of Tomorrow storyline, yet she showed up as Batwoman in this one.

    M'Gann, by telling Luthor about him eventually sponsoring a new Titans team, negated everything the present day Titans accomplished in the arc, thus creating a time loop. Therefore, at least at the moment, the Titans future is set, and that in eight years (comic time, which could mean 20 to 30 years human time), Tim takes the mantle of Batman (forcefully, apparently) and "hatches" his clones. Boom bam.

    At least thats how I see it. God you're such a punk.

    "Early 2008" was the last known date.

    Books have been solicited up to March, sooo..sometime after then. April seems likely.

    I was gonna post scans of the second one, but that'd take like six pages of set-up and I don't know if that's okay here.

    "I .. I dont know how to feel about this..." O_o

    Is it just me or does it seem like the Asgardians are sectioning off with those that think Thor did the right thing and those who thing Thor betrayed them, That he basically broke the status quo. I think there may be a "heavenly civil war" on the horizon.

    I'm really glad they haven't depicted Thor's country neighbors as fundamentalist Christian zealots who are unwilling to abide a pagan god. I don't know who any of these characters are, though, outside of what I read in that Loki mini (which I really liked).

    I'm very happy with how they're handling the Oklahomans in Thor.

    I'm an Oklahoman and I'm not a religious zealot hillbilly, and it's nice to see us represented as more than the stereotype.

    Well the book does answer just about 20 different questions about where alot of de-powered mutants ended up...Thats pretty much the entire team except for Bandit. Although its pretty neat how losing your powers turns you from an ugly fat girl into a hot chick.
