Great week for comics. Thanks to the contributors. I’m too tired to talk about anything else, so here’s a live action adaptation of Axe Cop to keep your attention.
Is that Nick Fury in the pink energy bubble in the Avengers panel?
(Boy I stayed up way too late tonight.)
by Healy January 31st, 2011 at 00:20 --replyI’m pretty sure it’s Dr. Strange
by Space Jawa January 31st, 2011 at 01:39 --replyJoker’s My Little Pony panel was the highlight of all comics for me last week.
by Prodigal January 31st, 2011 at 07:54 --replyI still don’t think Remender “gets” 616 Punisher. Or he wouldn’t be using these plots with Frank. Reviving his family? Maria messing around with Jigsaw? I am so not onboard…

by UrbanGuy January 31st, 2011 at 08:10 --reply@UrbanGuy: He “gets” that it’s Punisher and he’s in 616. Frank can’t control what kind of world he lives in or the plot points you’ve described. It’s how he responds that’s important to the character.
by Gavok January 31st, 2011 at 09:29 --replyIt’s hard to tell out of context: are any of these things we should actually be reading? I’m always eager to give superhero monthlies another chance and lately I haven’t been buying any but Batman Inc. and BPRD/Hellboy.
by Edison Marbury January 31st, 2011 at 12:46 --reply@Edison Marbury: Yeah, I can’t really tell if most of these are that good, usually one panel out of context makes them seem better than they really are.
Out of these though, I recommend Detective Comics.
by bongoes January 31st, 2011 at 13:22 --reply@Gavok: Bottom line, I don’t like the direction he’s taken Frank in. That’s why I’ve stopped reading.
by UrbanGuy January 31st, 2011 at 13:27 --replyTo clarify, Gavok, I mean: are there any of these that we should be reading off the rack? For instance, I’m likely going to buy anything Hickman or Wells write, barring incompetent art, but only after it’s collected unless someone says otherwise.
by Edison Marbury January 31st, 2011 at 13:35 --reply@Edison Marbury: You’re over-thinking it. If the panel strikes your fancy and seems interesting, check it out. If not, don’t.
by david brothers January 31st, 2011 at 15:50 --reply@UrbanGuy: Then it’s good for you that there are two Punisher books to choose from.
@Edison Marbury: Thunderbolts. Also, what Mr. Brothers said.
by Gavok February 1st, 2011 at 13:57 --replyI’m totally curious why Spider-Woman has her mouth covered and nobody else does. Okay, it looks like Mockingbird does too. Whatever?!
