And it must really suck to be a hero from any dimension but the main one.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe
I hope it isn't another year before volume 6 comes out, but it probably will be.
yeah, Secret Warriors was probably my #2
great way to start the series
But it was still pretty good.
god why do i ever go there?
Deep masochism.
Anyway even though I knew that was coming it was done in a fantastic way.
if it was a movie you'd be yellin "OH SHIT" the whole time
Recommended reading?
instead my moment of last week was Umbrella Academy 3
best issue yet
For some reason, I just loved all the little extra espionage / personel files at the end, too.
Whoops, I didn't see the second scan the first time around.
Neat.
in fact i hope they just ignore it
But than you'll get people at every convention going
who gives a shit about those people though
not the art though
what
Mr. Lao, the centuries old dragon there, has just consumed a supervillain in Osborn's employ. For those unaware, Bob Grayson, formerly known as Marvel Boy, and now sometimes called the Uranian, flies the spaceship hovering in the background there.
Astonishing Tales #1, Marvel's new anthology series, was released today to little fanfare, which is unfortunate. Though it has two filler stories about Iron Man that weren't particularly interesting, there's a CB Cebulski story featuring a Punisher/Wolverine team-up with amazing art by Kenneth Rocafort, some of which you can see here. My moment comes from Johnathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra's story about Mojo, Cannonball, and Sunspot. The story features the heroes abducted by Mojo following a writer's strike on Mojoworld. It would have been more topical months ago, but it's still a fun story.
I just love the idea of two seasoned superheroes being abducted, and rather than get all indignant and decide to fight back, deciding, "Eh, fuck it. Not like we can't get out of here whenever we want. Let's do this!" Plus, Pitarra's art is wonderful, and Hickman even does a few pages featuring the protagonists on Earth, which transition into Pitarra's Mojoworld pages in a cool, interesting way.
In the final issue of El Diablo, new El Diablo Chato Santana is sentenced to die via electric chair, having had his powers stripped from him. And then, something interesting happens.
Secret Six #6 at first seemed like it was going to be painfully anti-climactic. And then Simone just started throwing revelation, after revelation, after shocking twist at the reader. Just when it seemed like she was done, she hit you with one more, spread across several pages of one cast member being an utter hardass. Now that all sounds interesting, yeah? It totally was. My MotW from Secret Six has nothing to do with any of that, and is pulled from the six-page Omens and Origings back-up.
Hatter, you goddamn freak. I can't believe DC let Woods and Simone get away with that gag.
Secret Warriors #1 was fantastic, and while I'd previously thought about just checking out the first issue and then dropping it to get the TPBs, I realize now I can't. I'm hooked. The issue opens with a recon mission gone wrong, and then the intensity just builds and builds, as Nick Fury performs a one-man infiltration operation on a highly guarded data center while wearing hydraulic jumping boots, and uncovers corruption in SHIELD and the U.S. government, the likes of which he didn't think possible. But my favorite moment came when Nick and Daisy, aka Quake, assess the failed recon mission and come across the one member who didn't participate.
Phobos and Quake are both just adorable.

they have to address that right?
right?
Alternatively, Ares learned how to parent from this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJP4dr_mioA

I haven't been collecting Legion of 3 Worlds.
But dear God I hate
Because of how terrible Flash 1-13 was. I realize the character was just a victim of bad writing, but I still don't like him because of those issues.
An Ares that does right by his son is no asshole brother of Hercules who gets off on war to me.
