MotW 11/129/2008 - Nothing Important Happened Today

Or so one would believe, given the lack of post.

Anyway, my moments of the week came from Ex Machina.

Ice cold, Hundred.

Also, for those who're following Batman R.I.P., the recently awful Batman & the Outsiders dashed at least one popular theory about the Black Glove.
Alfred is still around post-R.I.P., and since Cassandra does not treat him any differently I think it's safe to assume that he is not the Black Glove.

    Thunderbolts #126. Holy fuck. The spoilers therein:
    It doesn't completely spoil the ending to Secret Invasion but it pretty much spells out the skrulls lose in the end and Osbourne played a big role in it.

    The writing was also spectacular. The art was ok.

    Fantastic Four was pretty good as well. I should have seen the hooded man's identity coming a mile away.
    It's Wolverine, BTW.

    My moment of the weak was the last page in X-Factor. Siryn, talking with Valerie..
    "Will you stop calling me "Terry" like we're pals?"
    "Theresa.."
    "That's better, although-"
    "Theresa, if you had to use the bathroom against you should have just said so."
    "What are you talking about, I don't have to...oh....crap...my water just broke."

    I have got to stop reading Scalped. It tears me up inside every time I read it. It's so good, but goddamn it. It's just so ... argh.

    Ex Machina did that, too, but for totally different reasons.

    I was talking about the Hooded Man revelation. I haven't been reading any of Millar's stuff, but if that is who it is, and the poster was not joking... I'm not even going to consider reading the trades when they come around.

    This is just my oppinion but I'd say it's easily one of the top 5 books being published right now.

    It's a very compelling story with some of the most interesting characters I've read in years.



    Now, someone want to explain to me how Young X-Men was so awesome this month? Is the current creative team on the book for a while? The art was awesome and the writing (it's Guggenheim) actually reminded me of Fraction.

    My favorite part was them talking about busting the tattoo guys operation - which is in an abandoned paint ball arena:
    (paraphrased)
    Anole: Are we seriously busting up a criminal hideout that's in a paint ball field? What is this, an episode of Law and Order?
    Santos: "Dun-dun"

    You probably have to see the actual page but it made me laugh.

    Anti-moment of the week for me is Paul Jenkins coming to my comic shop yesterday and me MISSING IT. Funny thing is he actually bought the hardcover of Mythos which had his Cap one-shot in it because Marvel hadn't sent it to him yet.

    He clearly was at some point, but it's possible he was deposed as well, as Magneto was.

    According to Millar, the future Defenders in FF are from 450 years in the future of the Old Man Logan timeline. I was under the impression that almost all the heroes were killed in that timeline, so I wonder how the heck there can even be Defenders. And whatever happened to the failsafe Earth that was being constructed?

    I really need to go back and read these comics because right now it isn't making a lot of sense to me.

    Reed and Sue did not die in the apocalypse that leads to the Old Man Logan timeline, in the most recent issue as they pass the remains of the Baxter Building, Hawkeye tells Logan "We never did find out what happaned to Reed and Sue."

    And in the latest issue of FF, Sue implies that Reed did something to allow her to live as long as she did so she could save whats left of humanity.

    As for how there can still be Defenders, they are all new characters, the "Hulk" guy calls Logan "Dad" at one point.

    And again in the most recent issue of FF, the failsafe Earth is where they end up sending all the people that Sue and the Defenders were trying to pull back in time.

    Man, that's a lot of stuff. I get a strong feeling that Christos Gage is going to be tasked with either doing a What If? issue related to this timeline, or a mini detailing the cataclysm and events that lead up to Old Man Logan/Future Defenders.
