Belated moment of the week thread, 4-18-07

edited April 2007 in Graphic Violence
Just picked up my comics for the week, and, uh, man, did anyone else read Invincible #40?
Rough day for Dupli-Kate, huh? Also, Rex Splode exploding that Iguana lady from the vagina up was hilariously rad too. Seriously though, the whole issue was action-packed with goodness. Also, Walker's art is painfully good. The sequid/astronaut looked really, really badass, especially in that panel where he's kind of rising up on a funnel of sequids.

Also, one again, X-factor was wonderful. Every week, I think about dropping the book, because I'm poor and nothing is really happening in it. But then I read it, and David rocks my face and pea brain with great character work and sub-plots with Multiple Man. Also, the Layla Miller gimick has yet to get old with me.
"Oooh, pastrami!" Also, it was neat to see a deflated and depowered blob, all saggy and the whatnot.

    I only managed to get New Avengers #29 this Wednesday, so I guess this counts.
    Dr. Strange taking out the Mighty Avengers by himself and Iron Man's meeting with Danny were both excellent.

    No

    For one thing, it's in the middle of a story arc

    For the other thing, it's written by Marv Wolfman and it's not nearly as good as the annual

    You need to see that panel immediately after the preceding panel. The joke is that Deadpool takes no time at all to make his decision.

    I really liked Cable & Deadpool, although man, by this point they should just drop the cable out of the title(which would be fine by me) I remember dropping the book a few months back cause it wasn't as funny as Simone's run, but Niecza has won me back, and actually has managed to bring a bit of seriousness to Deadpool.

    But after pages and pages and pages of T Ray being such a fucking prick (not to mention Deadpool being branded as an incompetent moron by his former employers for like a billion issues), it made it all worth it

    That is what has been great about this arc, it's all about showing that Deadpool is in fact really good when he's serious about it, and that he has his own identify again after palling around with Cable. That's why I think it's even more meaningful that
    he's apparently headed back to Providence to help out Cable with Hecatomb.

    To a certain degree it's reminding me of the Mithras arc in the original series, where Deadpool had been living up to someone elses expectations of himself and ended up failling, only to come back later after figuring his shit out and being who he really is and getting the job done well.

    Maybe that only makes sense to me, but I like where he's been heading lately.

    It wasn't unrequited. At the end of Agent X, Sandi and TM started going out. However, I think TM is off somewhere supervillaining in the costume that makes him look like a colorblind zombie pirate as opposed to kicking ass in his mercenary costume.

    OH, ok, I get it. I read the issue, didn't get it at first.

    Maybe if the Sword was a little farther into dude's head I would have gotten it sooner.

    but yeah, makes sense now that someone explained it.... lol

    The real problem is that there's no sense of action in any of the characters' bodies. It's a funny scene as written, but the artist screwed up. Properly drawn, it would show both (a) Deadpool's utter lack of consideration (by showing that he was deep into his throw-pose) and (b) his victim's utter lack of foresight (by showing how off-guard he was caught by a SWORD PLUNGING INTO HIS SKULL).

    The lack of any sort of motion indication on the sword, or on Deadpool's hand doing the followthrough also made me wonder if there was some telekinetic power holding it in place of something when I first saw it.

    Anyway, is there an image of the next page up anywhere?
