Batman & Robin #8, pretty clever, sis:
br8a.jpg

br8b.jpg

That is just good art right there, nice and clean and easy to follow.

br8c.jpg

And then Batwoman dies but she's gonna be thrown into the Lazarus Pit (woman are already crazy, m i rite?), and zombie Batman flies back to Gotham to pick a fight with Damien.

My shop didn't get in any Tails of the Pet Avengers, so someone give :^: if it was super great like the mini-series was.

    My MOTW so far is Ultimate Spider-man #7.

    For finally doing something with a plot device someone introduced into the Ultimate Universe like half a decade ago.

    Amanda Waller and Deadshot, if they had a baby, would it be cooler than Batman, Nightwing, Impulse and Hawkeye put together? Yes.

    Secret Six #18, so good:

    ss18a.jpg

    Good thing she did that, Black Alice is annoying.

    And then Waller kills all the Black Lanterns by blowing up the Manhunter she had recovered along with some Dr. Light flash bang grenades, mixing with the GL energy the Manhunter had within it.

    Mockingbird was
    Lex Luthor, the real one. The Luthor who organized the villains in Villains United was actually Alexander Luthor

    And JSA All-Stars #3 was good as well, but Williams did something neat with Power Girl's top; he got rid of the boob window. It looks a lot better now. I'll bring up a scan later.

    Rick Jones stays in a coma for the duration of Ultimatum and finally wakes up during the first UCSM arc. The neighbors think he OD'd on drugs but his mom is convinced he's now a mutant and tells this to Aunt May. When Aunt May hears this she actually sends the boys out on a super-hero mission to find out the truth and eventually they approach Rick but of course things go astray and somehow Peter and Rick get teleported to Detroit via the Power Cosmic. Eventually things settle down and they tell him he's earths new savior due to what the Watcher posts said during Ultimate Origins.

    Not all muscle. All awesome.

    For another character I would be ashamed to write that but not for Waller.

    A woman who realistically could be simultaneously be giving Batman trouble whilst preventing Luthor from killing Superman.

    Hell, while I just made that up, it would not surprise me if someone pointed out that it has actually happened

    She was Secretary of Methuman Affairs in Luthor's Administration. Waller was also one of the highest ranking people in Checkmate, who made Alan Scott look like a chump all the time wut wut high five.

    And here is Kara without a cleavage window, it's so simple why didn't DC think of this sooner? Justify it all you want but that made the character laughable:

    Context: Magog and Kara are sparring, Magog goes on a meta rant about criminals getting out of jail and killing more and more people. He then tells Kara to take her best shot:

    My hope for this confrontation is that PG kicks the crap of Magog (since I really dislike his portrayal so far and I also rate Power Girl as a far better character) but simultaneously doesn't rip the character of Magog to shreds.

    For example, it would be interesting if PG beats the crap out of him but the prison guards pick him up afterwards and tell him they agree with him, as one of their guys had been killed by some metahuman psycho the normal superheros refused to kill.

    Magog gets the ass-kicking he deserves and still goes home feeling he is in the right

    NOTE: Speculation on my part as I have not read any of this since I'm in Europe and we're at least a day late. Three months late on your average film release.

    Actually, the story of Magog breaking into a jail was actually the story of JSA Annual #2, which came out last week. So this, the first part, actually came out a week after part 3 (apparently part 2 is in the Magog series).

    Why not have them be released weekly in the correct order, you may ask? Because it makes too much sense, of course.

    i thought it was that each lazarus pit could only be used once per person, but you could send like three different dudes into one and they'd all come out.

    Cause from what ive seen so far it makes me want to actually try to track down a comic shop in this godforsaken town and find copies of this Secret Six series.

    Deadpool is a parody/homage to Deathstroke.

    Deadshot isn't anything like those two. You should read Secret Six, but if you're interested in Deadshot, Secret Six #15 is focused on him and his past

    If Freddie Williams did that without talking to Power Girl's solo team first, I'm going to go ahead and call him a giant douche. Amanda Conner already redesigned her costume for their book. Is he going to go ahead and redesign Magog's costume next without telling Giffen?

    Also, I've no clue why Sturges is suddenly calling her Kara again, outside of when she was talking to Kal-L in Infinite Crisis, her name's been Karen for years (and still is in her solo book).

    Just to give you an idea, Deadshot is a ton less jokey than Deadpool and when he does go for the funny it is a lot more in a dry, gallows humor kind of way. He's also more a single gimmick kind of guy where he's a great shot, but thats about it. So a lot of the time when he's getting physically pounded, he is trying to do anything he can to get to a gun to give himself an advantage. He also tends towards killing foes in a 'I'm just going to shoot you and move along' way instead of bothering with any sort of banter or other goofy comic-book tropes.

    Was I the only one that found some of the dialogue in this month's Blue Beetle really weird? Like the Scarab saying, "Yeah, baby!" or Traci referring to Jaime as, "Love." It seemed really uncharacteristic of both an alien parasite, and a teenage girl.

    Plus? I'm getting sort of tired of every other Blue Beetle story involving 1) the Scarab going nuts/malfunctioning or 2) Jaime making a heroic sacrifice that he barely scrapes through. Like, can't he fight a giant mummy? Or maybe the grandson of Praying Mantis Man? Shit, bring back Sinistro, Boy Fiend as a twenty-something supergenius who likes screwing with Jaime.
