Moments of the Week 01/16/08 - In which Iron Fist once again wins hard

Diablo Fett

Moment of the week thread

for me it was all iron fist, as in the entire issue, but more specifically

the prince of orphans teaching davos how to respect those of the fairer sex and then joining up with danny. VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

jkylefulton

I was just about to start a new MotW thread, and it was going to be all about the newest Iron Fist issue. The book has it all!

KVW

Screw Prince of Orphans.

Fat Cobra demands more wenches and later hits on the bandaged up Tiger's Beautiful Daughter with the fake yawn into arm on shoulder technique which, for Fat Cobra, probalby has the name of "Wench Seduction Art - Palm of the Yawning Wench". I'm guessing by the end of the tourny, Fat Cobra will have bedded every single woman there.

But (Fat Cobra Spoilers)

Fat Cobra is rejected by Tiger's Beautiful Daughter - note that his hand has a hairpin sticking through it after he pulls the 'yawn then put your arm around her' move.

Diablo Fett

yeah it didn't look like he was gonna be getting anywhere with her

wwtMask

Fat Cobra needs his own book. Basically, they should spin out a bunch of one shots and minis from Immortal Iron Fist, and I'll buy ten of each.

smokmnky

damn it, as much as I hate the way it happened ASM was pretty good (only book I picked up today). Slott seems to have a pretty good handle on the way Spider-man should be and he actually seems "fun"

I agree. We must convince Bru and Frac of this immediately.


Quick! To the Crimson Mask-Copter!

Drakeon

Booster Gold #6, all of it. Awesomesauce. Also, the end of Angel #3, didn't see that coming.

Darklyre

Incredible Herc #113 - Ares: "I AM SORRY, TEAMMATE WONDER MAN! I CANNOT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF RETURNING FIRE!"

Countdown had some great moments this week. I am really glad the story is heating up.

Lies, you must have some illegal, faulty version that does not contain the Fat Cobra / Tiger sex scene.

Oh ya, may as well ask here, last page, whats with the Iron Fist Special? I couldn't find a solicit of it, but I will admit I did not look overly hard. Is it coming out next month?

Epiphany

First post after long lurking, anyone else love the deadpool awesumness in the wolvering origins book? or the deadpool awesumness in cable/deadpool, I think origins edges out with the piano but only just.

SalmonOfDoubt

I don't entirely understand the point of relaunching Exiles. Claremont's still writing it, so it's still awful, and it didn't really even try to introduce any of the characters for new readers. Seems a bit silly.

which one?
theyve split the books now.
theyve got a new team and the old one.

i also felt that the evil silver surfer arc had its moments

jkylefulton

I think the Iron Fist special is in leu of IIF #13 - so the special is coming in February, and #13 is in March.

Maybe.

I might be wrong.

amateurhour

Angel #3 was pretty decent, and I picked up hulk: the end: hardcover...which is great

werehippy

I want to love Iron Fist, because it's clearly really good, but I have no idea what the hell is going on. Is there an Iron Fist timeline somewhere? I just continually find myself confused why I should care what previous randalls have been up to. Or why Davos is appearing in flashbacks with Danny's father/grandfather/adoptive father(?).

When the book is just doing it's thing, it's great. When it goes into flashback mode I stop caring.

jkylefulton

I find myself in the same boat at times, werehippy. But I think it'll end up being analogous to how STARMAN used to play it (and I'd say IIF is as close of a book to STARMAN as we've had since....STARMAN) - things from the early issues paid off later on in the series.

Get the beginning of the run, and it'll tell you everything you need to know.

valiance

Well I do love Iron Fist and am not confused by it, but your next part I can kinda agree with:

werehippy wrote: »

I kinda feel the same way. I also don't really like the flashback art as much. We sort of got the jist of the past story already, so the reveals in the flashbacks seem extraneous and boring (sort of the opposite of your confused problem). The book's pacing also seems very, verrry, slooooow. There's always too little of Iron Fist (partially because it's so good, but also because the pacing is very slow).

Garlic Bread

Robin: Dixon brings Ives back in his first issue? Thank you.

Booster Gold:

Ted survived!

Checkmate: No particular moment, it's just all around awesome

Haha, really? I thought Exiles was just being cancelled and relaunched as New Exiles. Is the old Exiles book still going as well? Who's writing it?

Briareos

Booster Gold:

Ted!

Also, was that Rip picking up Daniel Carter? He looks evil. This is going to be bad, I just know it.

Enjoyment of Immortal Iron Fist increases a hundred-fold if you go buy Essential Iron Fist and read it all.

Also, the Mini Marvels page in Incredible Herc was for the win. It was a spoof of those old "nerd gets punked on the beach then sends in for a muscle building manual, comes back all ripped and beats the bullies up" ads from comics in the Silver Age, but instead the nerd sends off for an Iron Man suit. Chris Giarrusso is awesome. :^:

I had to go back and confirm. This book is so awesome, and I say that after every issue.

Balefuego

Seeing how Mystique took out Sinister was awesome

Algertman

Morrison Doom Patrol vol 6 is released.

I now have my favorite comicbook run ever in TPB form.

1. Dammit. I forgot Iron Fist came out today. Must pick up ASAP.

2. As soon as I feel better, I'm making Immortal Warriors sigs so I can proudly say I AM WITH FAT COBRA.

Dr. Chaos

The entirety of Umbrella Academy #5.

-Monocle crazy Number Five

-"is it or is it?" Superhero on superhero incest action

-Dr. Pongo's shockingly splattered brains

I don't think I've read a book in the last six months that has taken a stranger turn.

Hot damn this book is good.

SatanIsMyMotor

I love how Messiah Complex is ending with all of the players in the same place - thanks to Pixie.

Fuck I love this arc.

KVW

Atomic Robo was awesome again this month.

He has a flashback to when he went on a mission to Mars for Nasa. He requested a bunch of books to keep himself from going insane on the year long trip and the Nasa guys only packed 5 books. Apparently Stephen Hawking (yes the real one) told Nasa he did a pysch evaluation on Robo and told them he could just go in hibernation mode, which Robo does not have. So, after a year long trip of nearly going insane, he lands on Mars and devotes the entire time for the mission to collecting rocks and spelling out "STEPHEN HAWKING IS A BASTARD" in huge letters viewable from space.

Also, seeing 'Mr Edison" trying to assassinate Dr Tesla's Atomic Robot in the backup tale was pretty fucking funny.
