Personal MotW were the end of Batman Confidential and the last half of Invincible Iron Man. Deadpool was pretty good as well.

Also the end,
anti-moment of the week
My anti-MOTW was that Boys volume 3 arrived, and was just more than a bit disappointing. Not for the reasons so many people whine about it, but rather that it felt like almost nothing happened in it.
but I think GLC took the cake for me
I don't have it in front of me, but it included Legend giving him the whole schpiel about the history, etc.
My problem with it is that like, 90% of it is just written exposition. Instead of showing us how things happened, etc. we just get told. As a result, most of it is just talking heads. Don't get me wrong, the content of those stories is interesting. I just don't like the presentation.
It was necessary to see the descent into depression from the Seven's new waif, but at the same time it seems more than a little ridiculous that all she did was partially blind A-Train. Frankly, I don't know why she wouldn't fully blind him, intentionally. After already quasi-raping her, he was now trying to fully rape her. I mean, given how willing Homelander is to murder A-Train already for his joke about blowjobs in front of the corporate rep, what held her back?
I'm still enjoying the series, but just disappointed about this trade.
I kinda laughed at the kid:
I think we can all agree that Secret Origins was just alright but who cares that means next month is Rage of the Red Lanterns
Also
The Ender's Game comic isn't bad, I think they basically picked up the book, and decided to draw some pretty pictures to go with the first three chapters, and have someone edit some of the rougher dialog. It feels like it was lifted word for word from the book.
not because of the story content, but rather because it was unnecessary to do all that retconning just to introduce the red lanterns
The reveal near the end made me go "whaaaat"
It's not just that. The coloring is just...weird. I don't really know how to explain it. You know how a lot of CG humans sink into the Uncanny Valley because the skin isn't translucent enough or something? I get a similar feeling from some of the coloring in IIM.
I agree with this. I like the way he draws the Iron Man armor itself but his people just look wrong, same reason I don't like Frank Quitley's art.

well I guess Detective Comics is for you
I thought there was also a Rage arc that was going to be happening in GL
Isn't there a solicit for part 3 in this month's Previews
i guess that's not really true though, now that i'm thinking about it. they kept hammerhead in ryker's during that daredevil arc (who doesn't count, because they hadn't proved he was daredevil), and that dude's got powers or something. a forehead, at least.
edit- i just looked up hammerhead and it turns out his head is because he got an adamantium plate put in it, no powers. so my theory stands!
Yeah, but Geoff Johns has been meticulous about using past GL plot and storyline threads. All this retconning will most likely have a major impact later on.
Don't that require a healing factor? I thought adamantium was meant to be poisonous.
" No, I'm eccentric... only poor people are called crazy."
can we get one thread here that isn't shit upon? please?
there is some perfected adamantium bonding process, but i think only one guy really knew how to do it or something convoluted.
High five!
