Moment of the Week for 7/16/2008

I only got one of my comics today, but it was good.

MA #16
Elektra kills three new super skrulls and is only taken down by a sucker punch from a fourth one. That's a bad ass bitch.

When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    So do we know if the people that have been replaced by skrulls were killed or not?
    Are Elektra, Pym, Jarvis, and many others gone?
    That would suck

    Captain American was really good, as usual.
    And Sharon got stabbed in the baby. . .

    I picked up Trinity this week. I almost didn't. But I got it, and I must say, this week's issue was pretty awesome. It was mostly all exposition, tying together the last several issues worth of events, but it was pretty good exposition, and it made Batman out to be quite the intellectual badass, which I always like. Looks like I'll be sticking with it, at least for another week.

    I'm really enjoying this arc of Amazing Spider-Man.

    But then again Kraven's Last Hunt is my favorite Spider-Man story so

    It's a new Kraven. I thought everyone understood that BND was going to focus on Spidey's rogues gallery, particularly the classic villains (or an updated version of them).

    Please tell me about these other versions of Kraven

    One was his long last son that took over the roll during the early part of the Clone Saga. He fought Ben Reilly, but was quickly killed off by Kaine and never went anywhere. Post-Clone Saga, JM DeMattais did an excellent job bringing in another long lost son to be the new Kraven and he teamed up with Calypso. Well, technically she used her magic to make he and Spider-Man fight for revenge for the death of Kraven, but the new Kraven broke free of the spell, shook hands with Spidey and then killed Calypso.

    I'm not sure if this was the same Kraven that was in that ridiculous "Get Kraven" Hollywood / Crocodile Hunter style mini-series or if it's the smae one in the recent Punisher War Journal, all of which seemed completely different from the version JM did post-CS.

    So, ya, if this is yet another long lost child of Kraven, I think it's getting a little ridiculous now.

    Well, when you were a major playa' like Kraven, you're bound to have a few bastards floating out in the gene pool.

    My only problem is that there all the same freakin' boring character. Hopefully they can make something more out of the latest, boob-tastic version.

    For some reason (probably because I'm not all that knowledgeable of Kraven), I like Ultimate Kraven better.

    Disappointment, albeit a minor one
    Moon Knight was not quite as awesome as I hoped
    Half of the double-sized issue, at the least, was a reprint of Moon Knight's first appearance in Werewolf by Night
    Man no
    I want a new story about him and the Wolf, thanks

    However, Spike was pretty bad-ass
    As was 1985 holy fuckleberries

    I'm not fond of the art for the last couple issues of Ghost Rider
    Some of the proportions just look off
    Nothing blatant, but it's off by just enough so that you know there's something wrong

    yeah, it was right around there and man of stone where it started to become apparent what he was doing. the man is really the best writer the punisher has ever had (and maybe will ever have)

    I don't think it's fair to make the comparison - the Ennis Punisher is entirely different than the Fraction Punisher (which Fraction himself has said is by design).
