Yes, WWE Heroes. Shut up. You know I have to review that series once it has enough issues in the can. To its credit, it does have a comic book depiction of Zach Ryder in it, so it can’t be ALL bad*.
In that panel from Siege: Embedded, we have Venom about to devour a stand-in of Glenn Beck. And you guys question why I love Venom so much.
*Woo woo woo, you know it!

Yeah, but… it doesn’t look like Zack Ryder really…
Absolute PERFECT choice for Spiderman 625.
I thought that Doop died at the end of X-Force, but clearly he got better.
If only Venom could do that in real life.
So I see that something is finally actually acknowledging Morrison’s Doom Patrol. But is it any good?
@Schide: So far it is… schizophrenic. I really want to like this book but it’s really uneven. They had an interesting take on the Blackest Night tie-in one issue, dropped it for the next few (and spent part of it going continuity-insane), and then we just jumped up to “Well that sure was a thing, thank god we won!” without ever explaining why the hell this cop-out didn’t end up the issue AFTER said BN cliffhanger.
This week’s Secret Six is the answer to “Why do some of the world’s best killers hang out with a contortionist?”
Didn’t realise that Nation X was a Milligan/Allred collaboration. Has it been good or great?
@Schide: Syrg is pretty much right. It has its moments (Cliff describing BN as “and a bad time was had by all”), but sometimes it seems like it’s just on autopilot. “Uneven” is a good word for it. And the Danny the Brick stuff has promise.
@Clemfold: Milligan/Allred only did one story in the last issue. I assumed that the rest of the series, like every other X-anthology before it, was perfectly ignorable. So I ignored it. The Doop story was fun/weird though.
Oy . . . you had to show the fridge. Even worse, it wound out getting the Black Lantern symbol on it. I just wish Kyle had a better way to achieve catharsis, you know?
Okay, in order:
ASM: Yes, and double yes. This book has been great as of late.
Wait, back up. Who, in this day and age, is putting out an A-Team book?
Dark Avengers: I really want Bullseye to get his comeuppance. I really like what Ellis did to him in Tbolts; he’s scary to normal people, but he’s nothing to a super.
Deadpool MWAM: Of all the ‘Pool books out currently, I’m enjoying this the most. It’s not deep, but it’s got action, and it makes me laugh.
So you decided to get Prelude to DP Corps after all? I didn’t realize it was weekly. Which means I’ve missed issues 2 & 3. Hmm… they should’ve been in my pull box. Gotta check about that.
Siege: I admit, I’m enjoying this. The fast pace helps.
Embedded: I was wondering if you’d comment on Venom’s use here… Biting the heads off of his own soldiers? I don’t know about that.
Web of Spidey has been hit-or-miss for me, but I loved that Lizard story.
Some of these I have, but haven’t read yet.
@clay: There’s an A-Team comic to go with the upcoming movie.
With Prelude to Deadpool Corps, I just didn’t want to buy the Liefeld issue. Because it’s a Liefeld issue.
