    Action Comics 5, was a fantastic Grant Morrison issue. Lots of threads for future stories being set up, and the goat from issue 2 is explained. Also, KRYPTO!

    Uncanny #4, don't buy the issue, it's not that good. This is the best part, a cool Colossus scene

    OMAC #5, it didn't wow me but it did its job, I almost get a feeling that the OMAC/Frankenstein fight was in some ways mocking the Spawn/Batman fight from the 90's. Dry cool wit like this means Itchy and Scratchy Land for everyone

    And that was the good thing! In fact, it was a good moment! I'm not seeing a disconnect, good moments can come in bad issues.

    I am just saying

    this thread was designed to be "hey these are the comics I enjoyed this week"

    and you said don't buy this issue and also this issue didn't really wow me but here are some scans

    It's both a cool moment and good books thread. Again, good moments can come from bad comics. One page and a panel cannot save a bad issue, but you can still say "this is a cool moment" and advise people to not pick up that issue, maybe buying something else they see here instead. For example if someone posts something important out of X-Sanction it might not mean that they liked the issue, just that it was a big moment that we should be aware of. A few people check out this thread before going to the store, cautionary advice can help.

    Haven't gotten to my stack yet, but is it wrong that I knew it was an X-club moment just from the thread title?

    Digging into my stack , and had to stop and share, this wasn't really a good moment for myself, but it's definately a testament to how fun X-club is, altho I will have to get a 2nd copy now.

    Cause I got to the 3rd page of Nemesis Subliminal Sea Creature stuff, before laughing so hard I snotted onto the page !

    Animal Man- Creepy as usual, the last page was great
    Swamp Thing-It's been very slow, but I feel like this is the best issue yet, better than Animal Man. Some really great spreads, Holland uses his powers like a boss.
    OMAC-just, pure fun. Wordy as fuck without slowing down the pace, good art, it feels like a modern day silver age book and I get my money's worth out of it.

    Uncanny X-Force #19.1, great issue, as is expected, Stryker is a true patriot against the muties, but I think Remender had a little fun with this scene
    xforceuncanny19-1a.jpg

    xforceuncanny19-1b.jpg

    It felt like a joke about how everyone X-Men (or the important mutants) kept their powers on regular M-Day

    Billy Tan's art looks really good when Villarrubia colors his work.


    And Villains for Hire #2 continues the good work, as Tiger Shark has never read Shocker: Legit.

    Well he escaped during Fear Itself in Thunderbolts, then he showed up in Spider-Island turning all spider-ish, and now he's running around as a villain for hire. Along with Avalanche, it seems to be a matter of editors not checking or just expecting everyone to ignore how Shocker wanted to be a hero.

    Wait, wait, someone did Shocker:Legit in continuity and then it was just ignored? God damn it...

    (obviously no one actually put that fanfic into continuity, but the idea of Shocker turning face was a good one, imo)

    Well, at least it's not the usual trope of the smartass getting proved wrong and being punched through a window.

    I like it a lot. I love that matt fraction is writing absurd. It's a ton of fun and he really gets the characters, even though it's through a bit of a...sillier tint.

    He is definitely writing them with exaggerated personalities, yeah, but I would take that over dull muted ones any day.

    A fun bombastic crazy team book is something I have wanted for a while and this one has 3 of my favorite Marvel characters on it.

    Doc Nemesis really feels like a Warren Ellis character. I read him in the same voice I read other Ellis characters in. Spider Jerusalem especially.

    I still can't believe that Doc Nemesis was a Golden Age character in the public domain that Marvel snatched up.
