Superman #712 was the Busiek/Leonardi Krypto issue from 5 years ago, and it works very well as a mostly silent issue, primarily because it has a lot of panels, and Leonardi really nails Krypto being really sad. Really touching and conveys a lot with very little, and it's 22 pages because that was the style at the time:
Thunderbolts #159, good double sized issue worth the money, the Tieri part was probably the weakest because it added nothing new, but Mr. Hyde has a nice moment in the main story along with Ghost and Walker being the odd couple (add Blazing Skull and they could be the new three amigos!):
edit: Batman: Gates of Gotham #2, incredibly strong story, lovely art, really good narrative with a twist I don't think people will see coming. And Damian is such a jackass to Cass, it makes the way he acts to Stephanie seem chivalrous:

MOTW definitely being the panel of Galactus next to the moon landing. Just a cool thing, also goes along with how silver surfer was saying that humans can do so much more
Aww. . .
The Carnage symbiote spawned again and the doctor's bio-mech arm bonded with her. She "put down" Shriek afte hacking her brain and forcing her to hit Carnage with a full power sonic scream and saved the day. She's currently under observation at Stark Industries (or Stark Resilient), the new symbiote doesn't like Spider-Man very much.

It's probably inevitable that they'll fight at some point.
Nah. I'd still rather eat my own eyes.
Ultimate Spider-Man 160, was a really solid end, and the whole arc seem to give almost all of Peter's supporting cast a moment, here's MJ's from the last issue
I look forward to seeing it posted out of context for years to come
What comic is this in?
nabbed those suckers as soon as I got my metal claws on them, so they could not break free
because they're made of metal, and robots are strong
And my Shocker moment of the issue was you ask?
So proud.
I choose to believe the last panel in this story and that he really, really wants to be a hero on the inside. That and maybe a touch of loyalty to Mach V will keep him from bailing.
I do kind of like the people who are insanely specific scientist villains.
Shocker is my favorite villain turned "good guy" besides Constrictor
Except he's not in prison...
Besides that, perfect.
He's such a lovable loser
Next week: Nazis in the Hospital!
Edit: wait, wahhht?
Also my real motw was the new Cap trailer
SOOOOOO GOOOOD
Like Sandman, he'll never be one of the good guys. Classic Spider-Man villains will always return to their original status quo in the end.
Edit: Came in to change it out of shame, leaving it like that cos it is, in fact, tons better.
Hehe. I really do need to pick up Thunderbolts.
Not old villains that completely failed to leave a mark on Spider-Man's rogue gallery.
There are always going to be writers that want to use classic baddies like Shocker, Rhino or The Vulture. Shocker will never hit a lull big enough to the point where anybody would honestly consider turning him into a full time hero.
I love the guy, but yeah, he's B-list at best.
Also, cos I'm too lazy to draw him, Mack V:
Yeah, I know it's terrible.
Now to fur up that armor and put some goldfish in the boots.
You ... You don't read it?
Step into my office.
he wasn't even in the Spider-Man encyclopedia by Tom DeFalco
but seriously, dude wasn't even in the back with the minor villains like THE RUSSIAN FROM PUNISHER
