This Week in Panels: Week 61
November 21st, 2010 by Gavok | Tags: avengers, Batman, chaos war, darkwing duck, deadpool, flash, green lantern, juggernaut, panels, power girlWhy, hello there! Feels nice to be doing a post that for once isn’t about guys in tights fake fighting. Wait, shit.
David Brothers and regular contributor Was Taters each have their share of panels to throw into the pile. Remember, if there’s a series you read that we don’t, always feel free to throw a panel my way. Email’s to the side.
Sorry for the lack of a good starter image. I like JRJR most of the time, but his Avengers work is really turning me off. In a way, NOT having to see his rendition of the Hood makes for a better panel.

Yes, it’s finally happened. Darkwarrior Duck is in a comic book.
Dead Avengers is a damn good start and I’m really finding myself enjoying the hell out of Chaos War. Not just as a miniseries, but as an event.

Irony calling Hal on line 1?
by LurkerWithout November 22nd, 2010 at 05:55 --replyWhy am I not buying Darkwing Duck? Every panel I see just brings joy to my heart.
by Nat November 22nd, 2010 at 07:32 --reply“You don’t make your crimes go away by putting on a ring” – really Hal? Really?
So I guess you’ll be doing some time for all those people you killed when you went just a little crazy.
Or do DC writers just not see the irony?
by Kid Kyoto November 22nd, 2010 at 07:34 --replyI’d guess the writers would argue either that Hal was being controlled, so it’s different, or that his stint as the Spectre was his punishment. You know, community service.
Darkwing Duck is outstanding.
by CalvinPitt November 22nd, 2010 at 08:21 --replyI usually like JRJR too but oh man the art in this month’s Avengers… I only figured out that was the Hood from context clues, and judging from Noh-Varr’s girlfriend he apparently hasn’t seen a woman since the 80s.
by Blank November 22nd, 2010 at 08:33 --replyI got the first two issues of Chaos War and haven’t been thrilled. I’m not in a hurry to get #3 or the tie-ins.
by Two-Bit Specialist November 22nd, 2010 at 14:46 --replyWait wait wait. Is Bendis still doing that ‘the infinity gems are on earth’ crap he did in illuminati? Is that godawful series canon?
by Capo Del Bandito November 22nd, 2010 at 15:45 --reply@Capo Del Bandito: You’re asking if the Avengers miniseries written by the main Avengers writer, which acted as a prologue to the company’s biggest event of the time and introduced Noh-Varr to the Avengers corner of Marvel… is canon?
It is worth noting that Bendis completely fucked up which character has which Gem.
by Gavok November 22nd, 2010 at 17:28 --reply@Gavok: I figured that illuminati garbage, what with “The Beyonder” being a mutant Inhuman to be sort of a ‘spin off what if’ crap. Every single issue pretty much said “fuck continuity’, so yes, I figured it wasn’t canon.
It wasn’t done in a ‘GLA Squirrel Girl” kind of way. It was done in a “I’ve done little to no research and am applying a different set of rules’ kind of way.
by Capo Del Bandito November 22nd, 2010 at 21:17 --replyThat Spirit panel is really striking, haunting, take your pick. I’m kind of enamoured with it. (I haven’t read the book so me saying this is no comment on the scene it takes place in)
Also, I know he hasn’t been doing it that long but I’m pretty sure Declan Shalvey’s Juggernaut is my favorite.
by Jordan November 22nd, 2010 at 21:55 --reply@Jordan: Moritat is a monster artist, basically. The Spirit looks great. Hine’s looking good on the script, too. Tucker Stone convinced me to finally try it, despite the dumb “Ebony White should be a sassy black chick!” thing.
by david brothers November 22nd, 2010 at 22:11 --reply“I swear the harder I fight, the better he likes it! And why is he breathing funny?”
