Fantastic Four was full of win. The explanation of Galactus's imprisonment was actually handled pretty well I thought...
The Galactus being used as a battery in FF is actually Galactus 500 years in the future. By that time the earth was a virtual wasteland with the super hero population down to around 150. When Galactus comes to devour earth all the remaining super heros attack and defeat him with only the current evil Defenders surviving the battle. I'm leaving out some plot details but that's pretty much it.
You knew as soon as he started talking about, "why were they surprised" and shit started flying around that it was going to be Galactus
And then it's Galactus
And you're still like fuck me
My true Moment of the Week is the "Embrace Change" ad that Marvel ran this week. The two page spread with the little girls. The Skrull girl is just classic.
Avengers: Initiative. Not so much a moment of the week, but it needs discussion.
About Mutant Zero, do you really think it's
Jean Grey? Or one of the Grey people. At least, that's the only mutant I know with red hair and a dark side. Of course, this is way too obvious and will most likely prove to be a red herring.

It could be Madelyne Pryor, and her greatest fear could be Jean Grey.
But I know shit about X-Men, so I really have no confidence in that guess.
Also, Trauma getting beaten up was kind of sad and Ant-Man being distracted by Spider-Woman's figure was hilarious.

Also also, the Skrull Kill Krew is boring.
Nick Fury's blind faith in random people he picks up from the floor really detracts from the batshit insane (and awesome) paranoia he has in Mighty Avengers. He created a whole new team just so that he can be sure he's not being infiltrated.
And yes, the Skrull Kill Krew is boring and only exists as fanservice.

My initial thought with the hints that were dropped -- ie: red hair, afraid of her dark personality -- leads itself towards Jean Grey. Pryor just isn't powerful enough to be slinging the kind of bravado that Mutant Zero is. Then I start thinking, having Jean Grey, in any capacity (clone, resurrected, whatever), as apart of the Avengers or the Initiative would be a political nightmare, even as a shadow movement. If the X-Men ever caught win of the fact that the Initiative had some kind of half baked, unstable Jean Grey running black ops missions for them, it would literally lead to a war.
I feel like the knowledge by Initiative members after seeing her fear, the pose in the Zero room, I feel like... it's Scarlet Witch with Red Hair. I'm aware that she has straight brown hair, but Wanda would almost be free reign for the government to have cooking like that, and the meditation pose was a Scarlet Witch regular pose, at least I remember seeing her like that a lot. I feel like the Red Hair is a Red Herring, and the character really is Wanda.

I just checked out scans daily, from what I saw I don't think it could be Wanda (although that would have been neat). Ignoring the most obvious answer, which couldn't possibly be right, leaves just one choice really, which Robos has already mentioned.

The thing is, everyone seemed to recognize her. Did the world see Jean Grey as the Phoenix as some point? Or did she do something super-public?
I liked Deadpool. God, I hope this doesn't mean I like Daniel Way.
Also, I liked Wolverine: Roar and really liked Orson Randall and the Death Queen of California. That one was just fantastic.

They kind spell it out for you with the cover, but the moment really hits when you get to the end.
Holy shit Osborn is going to run for president. This is worse than when Creed or Lex Luthor did it. At least they weren't actually insane or super-powered.
Holy shit, just when you don't think it could get even worse, Ultimates 3: 5 comes out.
What happened?
Ultron did it.
He fell in love with Wanda (implied to be because Wanda zapped him with magic during Ultimates 2) and tried to kidnap her. His plan was sheer elegance in it's simplicity:
1) Distract Tony Stark and the Ultimates with Tony Stark/Black Widow sex tape scandal.
2) Send fake robot Venom to kidnap Scarlet Witch.
3) Live happily ever after.
After realizing that Wanda would rather bone her own brother than a robot, Ultron killed her. He then engineered a battle between the Ultimates and Magneto's brotherhood, rebuilt himself into Yellowjacket, and created Terminator-esque robot clones of the Ultimates, intending to wipe out the real ones after they got tired fighting Magneto.
Pym and Janet spoiled Ultron/Yellowjacket's plan, the robo-Ultimates are trashed, and a truce is called while everyone explains what the hell happened to Magneto. Then Hawkeye staggers up, shoots at Magneto, Quicksilver takes the bullet, and Magneto retreats with his son's body. Magneto swears revenge on the entire world for the death of his children, which is where this whole Ultimatum thing is coming from.
Also, Black Panther was really Cap all along, Pym and Janet are totally getting back together, and Wanda's body is missing again.
You know what these boards need? They need a YouTube-like, thumbs up/thumbs down option, so you can express your delight and amusement for a posted comment without the bother of having to make your own entire post to do so.
Something like that would be perfect for this situation.

Seriously how many goddamn times has
Galactus been used as a gigantic battery? No wonder he's so pissed off all the time, i would be too if every other week a pack of super powered pricks dog piled me and stuck their extension cord up my arse.
Too bad Deena isn't going back on the job
But just what the hell was that flashback thing at the very end?
Re: Nova
I thought Quasar came from the tube that they pulled out of the Negative Zone that they said was a weapon? I'm excited about the Worldmind being put into Minion though. Great issue with Darkhawk kicking some ass too.
Deadpool was pretty good. I wasn't in love with the first issue, but the second was pretty solid.

Wow. Like everything you wrote is both wrong and nonsensical.

The hips. The hair. The batshit insanity. The fact that she knocked Trauma the fuck out with one haymaker. It's her.

There's another thread I visit that allows people to post "thanks" for individual posts so that a list of people giving them appears below the post in-between real posts. I think GV could use one of those.
One thing that really bothered me about Ultimates (and I did enjoy it afterall as I'm a Madureia whore) is how everyone was acting at the very end. You have Wasp chewing out Cap for his little ruse whilst Cap chews out Pym for Ultron, meanwhile nobody seems to care that Hawkeye just killed someone in cold blood.
Also, where did Spider-Man go? And why didn't we learn anything about Valkyrie?

Spider-Man didnt go to the Savage Land with them, and we did learn that Valkyrie is the same one from Millar's run on Ultimates and she was given these new powers by someone.

And you're still like fuck me
also Daredevil was sort of just more of the same Daredevil story, but the art was great and the hand stuff sounds like it'll get awesome next issue
I havent read the issue yet, but from the preview pages.. I.. I think I might like Clay Mann better than Michael Lark.
I feel horrible for saying that though (and I love Lark don't get me wrong)

yeah, i was also expecting something having to do with the whole "dead at 33" thing
but holy hell that book was awesome nonetheless
