This Week in Panels: Week 117
December 18th, 2011 by Gavok | Tags: panelsHello, my friends! This week is just me with a little help from Space Jawa. David and Taters are off having adventures and stuff.
Though speaking of adventures, it looks like I might be having one of my own real soon. Due to scheduling issues, today was my family’s only chance to get together for the holidays, so we exchanged gifts a week early. My brother revealed to me that he’s enrolling me in the Upright Citizen Brigade’s improv comedy school. I’m completely overwhelmed and flabbergasted and can’t wait to see this through.
Now for some comic panels. Really good week outside of New Avengers, which I’m totally dropping. Though if my longshot prediction that Bendis is planning to reveal Squirrel Girl as being evil turns out to be true, I’m back on for the hell of it.

I’d say Uncanny X-Force is the book of the week, but it’s a tough call.
Since I’m in a Christmasy mood — retail employee or not — here’s that sweet Art Carney Twilight Zone episode.
Squirrel girl reveal to be evil? So she going to conquer the world and be claimed ruler of the universe off panel and once we see her she already on a throne being pampered by Glactus and the watcher, with mutant half man half squirrel Chippendale dancers.

Also, I got Tales Designed To Thrizzle #7 last Wednesday, though I think it’s being solicited for this week. Lots of Kupperman oddness, complete with the long-awaited team-up of St. Peter . . . and Quincy M.D.!

I don’t know if this is awesome or horrible. Maybe, it’s aweable?

by SomeRandomBookguy December 20th, 2011 at 06:35 --replyOh for a second I thought it was she finds a galactic Tree-house for every universe’s squirrel girl to crash. the arc starts with “The squirrel girl who looks like Victor von doom” slip into the universe our squirrel girl from and start sullying her name for laughs which boils down to new Advengers issue with Squirrel girl looking like Dr. Doom.
