Secret Six #36, one of the best final issues in a good long while, similar to Thunderbolts #75.
So the six find a warehouse for their base of operations, but there's a homeless family inside. On top of it the Penguin had a tracker installed in him and Huntress calls down every hero imaginable, so the six are cornered. But along the way we have nice interludes with all the group, like so:
And then Huntress tries to replace the family held hostage:
and ultimately the group goes out with a bang, taking on the whole group of heroes (super-family included) by taking Venom. They lose, of course, but then again the Secret Six never win.
Thunderbolts #161, twists and turns abound!
A missle is heading for Chicago, only Moonstone can save it!
but the missile was heading for the lake all along because it contained shrunken down crab people who turn full size when exposed to water, like those sponge toys! On top of that Satanna moves the entire Raft to Chicago to help the A-team, wowza!

Punisher #1 was pretty amazing, but the sparse dialogue made it feel like a really quick read. But, the art's gorgeous, and Rucka's proving he can still do crime comics like nobody's business. I'm tempted to say that the best part is when Frank smiles at some goon, but the back-up story's the real gem of the issue. Basically, it's a cop narrating a shoot-out he was a part of, while being interviewed. As he narrates, what he says happened, suddenly diverges from what we see happened. It's a neat little storytelling device, that's going to set up some interesting conflict for this cop character.
Herc #6 wrapped up the Fear Itself arc, and featured Herc's battle with one of Ares' children. The best part is when several onlookers, wondering if the now-moral Herc can best a demi-God, are told by a nerdy Herc-worshiper that, "Even without his power, Herc's got like straight nineteens for strength, dexterity, and constitution.
.. His wisdom's a little closer to average."
I loves me some D&D humor.
The Hero Initiative benefit book, Hero Comics 2011, had a great creative lineup, including Gaiman, Sam Kieth, Richard Starkings, Doug Braithwaite, John Layman, and Rob Guillory. Honestly, I just bought it for Kieth's art, and the Chew short story.
But Christ the cover's bad.
Seriously, when you're trying to raise money for a worthy charity, maybe don't put something on the cover that makes your customer embarrassed to buy it? Just a thought?

but woo, Gaiman
Me: I'll keep this in back and pay for it in a week or so.
Boss: No, it's yours, just take it, no charge.
I hate you.
I've been thinking hard about my MOTW. It was either, legitimately, the surprisingly amazing final issue of Superman Grounded, or me just purchasing Spider-Man: Big Time in trade, which I am so fucking excited to read when I have some time tomorrow.
...And infinitely superior to the original cover.
: o
Badical!
M.O.D.O.K. Superior. Yes, yes he is.
the new MODOK is the best villain of 2011
hell
best new character so far
VWEEEEEEEM VWEEEEEEM
I love lasers
Hulk #29.
bam, problem solved
But he wanted to catch up on current Hulk
I would say Pak's stuff qualifies
look I was making it easy for him. A trade and some single are cheaper than like half a dozen trades.
skip the crossover with loeb
then read scorched earth and incredible hulks
