This Week in Panels: Week 21
February 14th, 2010 by Gavok | Tags: Batman, cyborg superman, death's head, hit-monkey, panels, punisher, spider-man, squire, uranian, venomSo, Street Fighter II Turbo #11 came out last week, but I’m putting it here anyway. My shop got it late and hermanos’s SF2 Valentine thing means I kind of have to include it. Besides, half of the issue is Akuma showing M. Bison how he ranks. That makes it worth looking at more than anything.

Spider-Man & The Secret Wars was a great read this week. The series has been a mixed bag so far, but this one really reads like Tobin’s trying for “Grant Morrison’s Secret Wars”. Marvel Boy: The Uranian is great fun too. It hits me as what Superman would be like if Krypton never exploded and they sent an adult Kal-El to Earth as a Kryptonian ambassador. And instead of the superpowers, he uses Kryptonian technology.
This is very intreasting

So in other words if Superman was a totally different character.
