Moment of the Week - 11/26/08 - Worldmind is a jerk.

Faynor

I'm hoping there wasn't already one made and I missed it, but here goes!

My moment of the week, by far, comes from Secret Invasion: Inhumans. Blackbolt is the best. Big spoilers for the issue, so be warned before clicking.

What's Blackbolt do to payback the Skrull who's been imprisoning him? He whispers to him.

This was a pretty big week for me. Daredevil, Captain America, and Batman. I'd say Batman was my biggest letdown of the week. You can read my opinion over in the Batman thread.

Robinson's Superman was pretty good. Matt fought some ninjas in Daredevil, so that was pretty good.

I also picked up last week's pull because I only had 2, so I skipped it at the time. Uncanny X-Men was beautiful. I freakin' love Terry Dodson.

Transhuman's ending was awesome

I haven't read Umbrella Academy yet

Crimsondude

Hah! Nice souvenir.

Can_Calyx

The Walking Dead #55, last panel.

another one bites the dust:(

Zeromus

Can someone scan the Nightwing page from R.I.P.? It was purdy.

Faynor

I decided to change the title a bit after I finished Nova. Worldmind is the worst.

We find out the Centurions from last issue were people the Worldmind had been deputizing while Richard was sleeping. He argues with him, and asks him not to do it again until they've discussed it then tells him then he's not going to be reuploaded into his head because it's too much of a risk and he would go insane.

The Centurions go to solve some Ooze crisis in NYC, and when they come back, either pretty much everyone at the lab has been deputized into a Nova Centurion or a bunch of other humans have. The last page is Richard's brother being all "Hey, lookie me!" because he got deputized too.

I'd say SI: Inhumans was my MotW.

Golden Yak

It's pretty weird how he won't let go of that leg.

Diablo Fett

Ultimate Spider-Man was wonderful as always but would have been better had it not been spoiled by Ultimatum

Incredible Herc still manages to be my motw time and again

definitely wasn't expecting that

Regarding Daredevil

I wonder if it's going to be a tradition for every new DD writer to kill White Tiger. Bendis did it, and Bru as well.

Not that I was attached to that character or anything, but like, wasn't she just created a couple of years back with some relative hype?

Algertman

Batman is the Ultimate bad ass. Don't believe me? Ask The Joker. He knows the deal.

Sorta an anti-MotW but I'm not really sure I like where Nova is going, especially reading the future solicits for the book. However, it could keep Nova out of War of Kings which is OK with me.

Goddamn better not. The only one left is Kasper Cole, and he's way too awesome to die.

He's definitely going to be involved in WoK.

The issue itself was pretty good, but I really wish Bendis would stop following the same pattern with all his stories.

Do something interesting and new with a character, and then immediately undo it as soon as possible. I liked the MJ bit in clone wars, I really liked the possibility of Carnage/Gwen, Harry as Hobgoblin was interesting, and so on. One of the best things about the ultimate line is he can play with these characters in new ways, there's really no need to snap back to the status quo at the first opportunity.

Oh shit, I forgot about Kasper. I wish that team book he was in would have lasted. Have we seen him since then?

Incredible week for comics. Daredevil? Awesome. Ultimate Spider-Man? Terrific. The Walking Dead, Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Force, Captain America, SI:X-Men, and SI:Inhumans? Excellent.

The end of R.I.P.? Laughable, but I liked the follow-up on the Man-Bat-Ninjas.

Sars_Boy

all of you are terrible people for not buying Umbrella Academy

Nah, he disappeared after The Crew ended.

Though Junta did pop up in the recent Last Defenders book.

My MotW:

X-Force

Ghost Rider showing up was awesome.

Crimsondude

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Thor: Man of War? That was pretty swell.

Heatwave

My moments of the week:

Nova #19

Hey, Rich. Look what I got.

God dammit Worldmind...

All Hail Megatron #5

Cigar chewing Kup talking smack to Jazz and getting his team's ass handed as a result. Kup you truly are a crazy old bastard :P

Ultimate Spider-man #128
I suspect some...

DOOM

...in the near future

Darklyre

Blue Beetle #33:

Two words: armored codpiece.

Bogart

Regarding Buffy:

was that Riley?

Antimatter

Mine was thankfully posted on the Transformers wiki:

Great image, but made MOTW for me when I saw Roadbuster was so effing huge that he scrapes the ceiling with his backplate when he walks.

That makes a lot more sense than who I thought it was. I thought it was Angel, but thats really quite impossible given his situation in his book.

Bloods End

The Joker parts of Batman.

Me Too!

Holy shit that was an awesome ending. Kinda wanted to slow-clap.
You know what else had an awesome ending? This month's Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch.

Flaming. Fucking. Elephant.

I was checking some DC solicits and I came to a realization that this whole "Thy Kingdom Come" JSA story is 19 freakin issues long. That includes the three one-shots that came out in November. Has this story really been going on since early 2007?

Edit: Actually the story started in July 2007. And it's 20 issues if you count the Annual.

I'm pretty sure it's Riley. Look at the way he's standing when they show him in the shadows, that looks to me how Riley would stand. Always at attention.

That's who I thought it was, too. Glad I'm not the only one.

I'm curious who Twilight is going to end up being then. Because that was the running theory of who Twilight was.

Also, next month we get Loeb. Anyone want to place bets of whether it'll be good or not?

Zaylenz

My moments of the week were BoP Babs vs Joker, in the faces.

Also Death of the Endless showed up in Madame Xanadu and it's always amusing whenever she shows up.

Robos A Go Go

I really don't care about the Buffy comic anymore, and the entrance of Loeb pretty much seals the deal, at least for the time being.

Mai-Kero

Why the fuck would they hire Loeb for it?

Oh well. The resolution to the Fray arc was pretty sweet.

Munch

I think Whedon and Loeb are buddies.
