MOTW 7/22/09 #600 1 for 100 Alex Ross Variant edition
TexiKenDammit!That fish really got me!Registered Userregular
My LCS was sold out of ASM600 by the time I got there at exactly 3PM EST.
Which is kind of weird, but I've noticed they order almost no copies of ASM anymore, so it was probably a case of too few copies rather than selling out a massive stack instantly. Which probably says a lot about how well BND and the braintrust worked at boosting sales.
Still, I'm kind of bummed, because now all I have to read for the week is Wednesday Comics.
Go check out the bitching thread to see a page and a half about it.
Superboy Prime is on our earth now being an internet troll dur hur clever.
Not necessarily a troll
Just the stereotypical fanboy who whines about the state of heroes today and whose only power is bitching on the internet and who lives in their parents' basement
Green Lantern #44 was very good. Mahnke has some great two page splashes.
Like so:
It looks to be John Stewart's book for the rest of the BN event.
Wait a second
Are the Black Lantern rings trying to Zombify an entire planet?
If so, that's an awesome idea.

Captain Britain #15, awesome wrap up to the series. The whole book was good and ended on the right note. Cornell should be given Uncanny to write, he could really rehab that book, or even Iron Man.
Also, Death's Head.
Wisdom actually had a fake skull made, which is what Dracula crushed earlier int he arc. So that barrier that protects England from the vampires? Still in effect. And then you have Meggan making those who are unwilling servants of Dracula fight his power. Followed by this:
And Faiza kills Dracula with Excalibur, and she and Dane kissy wissy snuggles.
Those who never read the book should be ashamed of themselves.

In short, hysterical!

That's what I got from it. Mogo needs someone to fight.
That's pretty much what I was thinking for awhile now. All the Lanterns need opponents, like how Ranx was powered up to fight Mogo back in SCW. I thought "who could possibly be an even fight for Mogo?"
The answer was obvious, but it's still incredibly awesome.
I'm going with Legion of 3 Worlds as well. The nit-picky nerd in me was kinda annoyed that it didn't end with Braniac-5 taking Superman to see the Miracle Machine though. Oh well, it was still fantastic.
Invincible was pretty good, glad I decided to stick it out to see the conclusion of Conquest.
Eve comes back. It's not really explained, but theres a glowing pinkish light that comes out of her body, then a pinkish... explosion? Then she appears naked, blasts conquest, injuring him and then passing out. Mark ends up killing him. Also, for those not a fan of the gore, avoid this issue, because hoo-boy... What happens to Conquest is not pretty.
Although, of the ones I've read so far Legion of Three Worlds (specifically the ending) is probably my top MotW.
GotG actually had a lot of awesome moments in it, and the art was very different but good. Nova was solid as always, and Dethklok vs. The Goon was as funny as I thought it would be. The art for the Dethklok characters was a little off-putting but the writing made up for it.
I know you're explicitly not supposed to say "all of this issue/book" for a motw, but I haven't picked a single favorite moment from Mouse Guard Winter 1152 yet. It is awesome. The big fight with the main "villain" was pretty excellent, but the bats in general were great.
X-Force was back on track again this week, with the opening two pages being my MOTW. That may change when I pick up LO3W tomorrow, but for now, I'm sticking with the X-23 lurv.
The book has been absolutely stellar from start to finish, and it's a crying shame it's been cancelled. Here's hoping Cornell has now made his bones as far as Marvel is concerned and they give him a high-profile book that has a cat in hells chance of surviving.
The rest of the issue is awesome. Jack is in Africa hanging out with a bunch of ape Fables who escaped to the mundy world and who ended up in stories like Tarzan, but also fucking Kong and Winnie the Pooh.
Also, so the end of Lo3W:
Does anyone else wonder what exactly doucheboy-Prime did to Lori?

Would you mind posting spoilers? It's going to be a few days before I can pick it up.
Is there another Deadpool this week?

It was much grander in scale and actually has lasting effects.

"N-NO!"
I laughed quite a bit at his appearance.

Yes and more yes here.
They fought Carnage.
I hope there's a second printing or my LCS gets more or something.
Bagley art!
Looks like Batgirl more than Batman there.
I can't imagine it being much better in context
Also, so the end of Lo3W:
I assumed
Wait, where's Batman's right leg?
