....That actually worked pretty well up there.
Anyway, GLC #34 wins because it handled 4 different plot points without a problem. And also had some really messed up scenes. Scans below:
The resolution to the Mongul/Arkillo fight:
The Kryb babies freak me the hell out:
And also, Scar starts a riot in the Sciencells with a newly captured red lantern.
Battle for the Cowl #1 was decent, but Daniels seems to have skipped over the last few issues of Nightwing and Robin to set up what's going on now.

Battle for the Cowl was pretty cool too.
Also I don't even have a moment of the week. I liked Iron Man but there was no single "Wow!" moment in it. I am ready to see Pepper flying around and breaking the sound barrier, although I wonder how this will go when HAMMER shows up 15 seconds later with helicopters and supervillains.
I also totally dug Walking Dead as well.
Holy fuck.
Also, there was the list of people FB and NW were after who were all escapees from the Phantom Zone:
Those are all from prior appearances (Golden/Silver Age, etc), so might not apply directly to these descriptions, but thats the list of people the two are trackign down, all of which are plants on Earth by Zod.
Seriously though I can't wait for Mongul's inevitable death.
That older Bride? Mother of God. D:D:D:
I can't identify the former Davos and former John Aman (well the 2 former weapons from their cities). One has a yellow/red scarf hat/veil with a monkey on his/her shoulder and the other is on the bottom left with a spear.
Well, they did power their rings down while they fought. Granted, Mongul's left arm should have fallen off then, but...
And the other pages of the fight were pretty sweet as well. Gleason draws great fight scenes. They basically stab each other with a pole, then stab the other with the pole while it's still in them. Like sci-fi kabobs.
(of Iron Fist)
Mongul is also Superman level strength. I'm surprised he didnt squish Arkillo like a bug without the rings.
Throwing them hard enough that the people squish on impact.
Amazing.
Personally i was hoping Arkillo would win because his character design is x10000 times better than Monguls
That's basically my entire distaste for Mongul. Giant purple-yellow dude. Just looks silly.
I thought they should've left Mongul's arm unattached, just flying through space and punching people in the face when provoked. It's such a great concept, I'm surprise it didn't get its own ongoing series.
That would make an absolutely brilliant spin-off story after the Blackest Night arc ends, following the decimation of the various corps following whatever goes down, Monguls left arm goes rogue, taking over a planet and establishing a kingdom in its own image.
So, we're looking for a corps full of Davos?
Different comic I think, I'm talking about the Max Series one, Six Hours To Kill.
