Moments of the Week 01/04/08 - this time with more death!
Figure I'd kick this week's moments off with some doozies.
Annihilation Conquest
Why Gabe, why? Can the Uniforce reconstitue his horribly vaporized body cuz that would be super.
Thunderbolts
The symbiote accused Scorpion of being a pussy and took control of the body and started eating everyone in site. As you can see, pretty crazy shit.
Another insane moment was the new Baron Strucker at the end. Seems Swordsman is having daddy issues and shaved his head, blew up the Zeus and has bought off a bunch of guards as he plans to make Norman give him his cloned sister.
edit: this timed out first time i tried, hopefully i dont end up with any double posts
There is a crazy storm here in the Bay Area and I seem to be house bound for now. I still think I'm going to make the trek out to the shop though
Yea, I'm in the same situation. Guess the crazy storm is quite big, because I'm near Sacramento and I really don't want to go out in this rainy windy mess.
Bob fucked some shit up. And surprisingly, lil Jason got the last hit in with a great "THUCK!" to the back of the neck. (thats knife in the head in comix speak)
Detective Comics -
Batman fucks up Ra's, and of course it ends with a great line..."Or maybe you've cheated death again...just to wind up in hell. Welcome to Gotham."
Awesome.

i assume there's supposed to be a to in that last sentence.
The event did what it was supposed to do. Brought Ra's back. We had our seven+ issues of Ra's fun, now we're putting him aside for a bit (in a dickish fashion only Batman could come up with) to think about what he's done. This way we can get Detective back to the simple one and dones (with a revist to al Ghul land in March) and Morrison's Imposter Batmen story finished. After that, the skies the limit.
Could someone kinda clue me into Morrison's Batmen story? I started getting Batman with #666, which was all kinds of confusing for a starting point. Then I missed a few issues... And now that I'm back into getting the regular Batman, I am once again confused.
666 was a flash forward based upon the Son of Batman storyline that had been happening before that issue. It also ties into the Imposter Batmen storyline that everyone is very fucking confused by at the moment.

You should pick up #664 and #665. It'll fill in some details you might be sketchy on. Just remember that at this point, we're not supposed to know everything thats going on.

Goddammit you pagans. Someone else had to have picked up Legacy. Someone agree with me on how badass it is.

I've been thinking of getting into it, how hard would it be for me to understand if the latest starwars related stuff I had read was the New Jedi Order series of books?

It would help if you read the Republic comic series, but it's not required. It sets itself far apart from everything else that it is pretty easy to get into.

all of it
more after I read the rest of my comics
also, kvw,
this is the correct response.

Other than that this was a slow week.

damn I'm gonna need to pick that up
Batman was also pretty awesome.
I still smile at that, despite already seeing it in the preview.
Somethings up with that.
"The newly formed Teen Titans must face off against the possessed Justice League of America to the death! And in this battle, there are no winners. "
Something is up indeed.
teen titans was great as well. i laughed at the guy that wondergirl bumped into wearing the steve holt jacket
and doktor sleepless was also great as always
Seriously?
Fuck, my shop is supposed to pull that for me.
advance copy
but definitely pick it up next week
Damn you.

Personally I loved Damien as Batman.

Meanwhile...Kent continues to struggle with the fact that he's currently wielding incredible power and still has no clue on whats going on.
He then lucks up and meets Inza.
The she seemingly dies.
Just another day for the once great Doctor Kent V. Nelson!
