This Week in Panels: Week 39
June 20th, 2010 by Gavok | Tags: agents of atlas, azrael, daken, darkwing duck, deadpool, harley quinn, magog, new avengers, oz, panels, This Week in PanelsAlmost running a little too late on this one, but work and Toy Story 3 kept me busy today. If I could give any warning about this week’s comics, it’s this: don’t check out Age of Heroes if you have any interest in the Young Masters whatsoever. Even though they take up 2/3 of the cover, they do even less than the Dark Reign miniseries that created them. Seriously, two pages of aimless dialogue. That’s it.

Darkwing Duck status: awesome. Give this series a look. Personally, I’m just happy to have Launchpad McQuack back in some capacity. I missed that guy.
Speaking of Launchpad, did you know there was a full-length version of the Ducktales theme? I surely didn’t.
Oh man. Every time I see a picture from the Darkwing Duck comic, I just want it so badly. So very badly.
by Meekrat June 20th, 2010 at 22:04 --replyDark Wolverine completely dropped off in quality like 3 issues ago. Camuncoli really was the only thing holding that book together, and he can barely hold it together even when he’s around.
I loved both Joker’s Asylum one-shots this week. Harley Quinn especially. It reminded me why I loved the BTAS version of the character and why I don’t like how they’ve tried to play her up as an anti-hero lately.
by Debaser June 20th, 2010 at 22:28 --replyI’d considered Darkwing, but wasn’t sure about it and decided to wait on reviews. Now that the reviews I’ve heard are good, I’ll probably go back and get it this week when I pick up the new stuff.

by Dan Coyle June 21st, 2010 at 08:38 --replyThere seems to be something missing from this list. Mainly Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Black Cat, and Spider-Man.
by clay June 21st, 2010 at 10:18 --replyDid you know the guy who sang the Duck Tales theme also did that Tekken 5 opening theme? Go look it up.

…it almost fits. Especially during the kitten catch.

You have a hive mind with my sister don’t you? Not 10 minutes ago she was telling me this.
