This Week in Panels: Week 177
February 10th, 2013 by Gavok | Tags: hellboy, panels, transformersHello nice people. This week it’s me reading way too much superhero comic junk, Gaijin Dan reading way too much manga, Brobe sending in a chunk of stuff and a little something-something from Was Taters, Space Jawa and Jody.
I should feel alarmed that I’m enjoying Thunderbolts, even though I know that Way will do me wrong like he always does. Then again, to paraphrase Mitch Hedberg, we eat every apple knowing that it’ll become a core.

It’s hit me that DC’s Rotworld saga is about 45 issues in length (18 issues of Animal Man and Swamp Thing each, two #0’s, two annuals and a handful of Frankenstein tie-ins). Not exactly hating it at this point, but I’d really appreciate it if it would finally get around to ending.
As a man who loves himself some mashups, I absolutely love this super mashup to celebrate that which is rock.
Oh man, that lettering on Dragon Ball Z is looking to be on the same level as the Twilight graphic novel. What the heck’s up with that

Your attention to detail is amazing, but the depth of your knowledge is horrifying.
by CapoDelBandito February 11th, 2013 at 03:16 --reply@Maxy B: I think they may be reusing the lettering from the original English release, but I’d have to dig up my copy of the first issue to be sure. Viz was still releasing 30-page floppies in comic shops at the time. At the very least, if memory serves, they haven’t revised the translation at all.

Hickman’s been impressing me with his Avengers work, been loving his Marvel material and what I’ve seen of his indie comics.
