Avenging Spider-Man #20. Hmph, it feels like I should make a joke here.
Ock goes aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier and meets the Secret Avengers with plans of breaking the Chameleon out

However, at the same time, super russian assassins board the Helicarrier with plans of killing Chameleon to keep him quiet
Chameleon escapes and kills two people, causing Ock a short fit of bad conscience

Then the Hulk shows up

Thor: God of Thunder #8. I've been having impure thoughts about my grandfather
Young Thor meets his future granddaughter and goes for the very definition of a Hail Mary

    Li'l Gotham #10, Cinco de Mayo, it involves Tokyo Drifting and Dick and Babs on a date and it's just everything that the DCnU isn't, even if Katana still feels like Nguyen was originally drawing Cass:

    Adventures of Superman #2 was very fun, but not at all easy on the eyes.

    That series did get me buying digital exclusives though. Lil' Gotham is great. I need to get all of that.

    Is she thicker than in #1?

    I'm also assuming the colorist had to cover up some of Cheetah's pencils.

    As much as people lament the end of Hellblazer, Constantine has been bloody great in JLDark and I'm glad his solo series is turning out to be great as well.
    And man, I love that art.

    Uhhmmm...
    isn't that likely to blow up in her face? How could it go any other way?

    Also, at first I thought that Johnathan Crane was the guy she was talking to, and that he was going to be the team psychiatrist like Doc Samson used to be for X-Factor.

    .

    She has a team full of killers and psychos. I would think she knows it can all go south at any given moment.

    Yeah, but in this case she's picking someone uncontrollable who's probably smarter than she is, and she's giving him some degree of control over the team's operations to boot.

    It seems utterly irrational.

    sweetcreamscoopssweetcreamscoops Registered User regular
    Again, I'm sure she realizes this but finds the payoff bigger than the risk. Waller has made risky decisions that have blown up in her face before. But she also is a master manipulater and probably has several backup plans not to mention a bomb in his neck in case he tries something.

    In fact, the next issue is about the team taking over Bel Reave. So I'm sure Kot knows that someone like James is hard to control but wants to show us that Waller doesn't fuck around when it comes to this team.

    Thor: God of Thunder is without a doubt the best thing that Jason Aaron has ever written, and the best thing that Esad Ribic has ever drawn

    it's fucking amazingly good

    We had Kirby cosmic, and it was great. We had Simonson's style, and that ruled.

    But what Esad Ribic is doing amazes me. He's managed to keep that sci-fi element in a fantasy book, a cosmic element that is integral to Thor, but take inspiration from artists like Moebius to create a new style for the God of Thunder. And it compliments Aaron's style really well, and vice versa.

    Damn, but I love it so much. It's my new Uncanny X-Force.

    Bought DD v4 and all the singles since (##22-25), Assemble 15, hulk 5 or so, and I may have bought Batwoman. I'm psyched.

    My MotW was just getting to visit a store for the first time in months (Floating World in Portland). Even if I was dumbstruck at how far behind I am and wishing I could remember what I have and haven't even gotten to read yet or preordered or ordered and was delayed (CM v2. Grrrrrr).

    My friend and I were discussing this, and we decided that Thor: God of Thunder is so incredibly Metal that the only way to do it justice would be to paint every single page on electric guitars, and paint the covers on shitty 80s vans containing those guitars.
