This Week in Panels: Week 121
January 15th, 2012 by Gavok | Tags: adam west, Deathstroke, panelsGotta make this quick. I have a headache, I feel like crap and I have to wake up early. But on a lighter note, I won a free Nook Tablet at work and that absolutely rules.

The Adam West comic would strangely be sort of decent if it had a more consistant art style. The concept behind it almost works, but not quite. Still, I got to keep at it because it’s too strange to exist. There’s even a panel that shows his portrayal as a 60’s masked superhero, only they made a couple design edits to keep it legal.
DC Comics, meanwhile, helped drop my pull list by three books this week. I understand the cancellations of OMAC and Static Shock, but putting Rob Liefeld on Deathstroke as both writer and artist while giving him two other comics to work on after his current one has sunk like a stone is some serious WCW shit.
…I didn’t make this quick.
I loved the art in Frankenstein #5. Ponticelli lost his goddamn mind with the Frank/OMAC battle. I just wished the fight lasted longer to see what he would do next.

by SomeRandomBookguy January 16th, 2012 at 12:50 --replyI was going to skip the spider-man part of the daredevil crossover. I might have to reconsider.
by PeterV January 17th, 2012 at 11:02 --replyIs Scarlet Spider bleaching his hair again? What a dumb disguise. I always thought if they brought back a Spider-Clone he should shave his head, grow a massive beard, and wear Clark Kent glasses. Maybe get some tattoos.
by James W January 18th, 2012 at 02:10 --replyGav, no truer words were ever said about DC and Liefield… He gets 3 more books and John Rozum isn’t getting squat…
How does THAT work????? :raise:
