I feel bad about Deadpool. Not that it’s bad. It’s just that the entire issue is one joke over and over again and I feel bad for smiling at it every time. Draculas. Speaking of Deadpool, in that What If panel, there’s that weird smoking thing on his forehead. For the rest of the story, he has a big red dot on that spot. Anyone know what the hell that’s supposed to be?
Azrael is finally being cancelled. I’m surprised it lasted so long, but I still mourn for Hine’s crazy-ass run on the character. He’s the last descendant of Jesus Christ, you know. …yeah.

Generation Lost: After their last, unfunny series, I could not imagine enjoying another. This one’s got me hooked, though.
Invincible: the pace is painful, but I remain interested – enthusiastic, even. It helped that it was released on iOS on the same day. (We’ve gotta come up with something better than “day and date.”)
Hellblazer: that panel makes me wanna give this one a shot. I’m as curious as he female character and the artist has been growing on me since Daken.
About Deadpool: The last arc broke one of the most hardcore Way fans I know. And the sales drop by 10% makes me wonder if the Editors will finally notice that Way is just putzing about.
For the record, most of Kirkman’s stuff reads a fuckton better (depending on your POV) in TPB/Hardcover format. I remember back during the huge prison arc of The Walking Dead folk at my LCS were saying he had lost his touch and that it was dragging on, etc etc, but then BAMN! Jesus christ it ended on an unholy note. Invincible does the same thing: I hated the re-introduction of his father waaay back when they found that bug planet. And I hated the buildup to the Invincible War. But now when I re-read’em all in TPB format it syncs together smoothly.
But fuckall if the man doesn’t LOVE his cliffhangers. I curse you Kirkman. CURSE YOUR SOUL!
We do need more Remender though. On everything. Didn’t “The Boys” come out last week too? Or am I hallucinating again?
I’m going to guess that the thing on Wade’s head in the What If panel is either the Bloodstone or an Infinity Gem…
Wait, did Wonder Woman somehow end up with Sailor Moon’s cat?
Damn, what did Frank Quitely do to poor Orion’s face? Kirby had him look sort of stony and fang-y… in that panel it looks like he has a face made of melting leather.
Also, I like the panel from the Batman Annual, it really highlights how much Bruce is moving away from the paranoid control freak jerk he used to be. Grant Morrison is actually making an impact, who’d have thought!
Ha, when I was reading Inc. #2 I knew either that or LDM interrupting that family’s dinner was going to be the choice.
Also Azrael :frown:
Seemingly every Way Deadpool plot these days: Wade does something crazy and stupid, but hah, it’s part of a master plan. Repeat.
Repeat.
REPEAT.
