This Week in Panels: Week 192

May 26th, 2013 by | Tags: , , , ,

Welp. Time to retire that Miles pic.

Welcome to This Week in Panels, where me and some other guys take all the comics we’ve read this week and chop them up until we’re left with one panel that best acts as a teaser for the comic in question. We got some Marvel, some DC, some manga and some IDW.

To contrast the poor past couple weeks, I have a strong batch this time around. Joining me are Matlock, Gaijin Dan, Brobe, Space Jawa and Was Taters.

This week brings us to the end of Geoff Johns’ lengthy and successful run on Green Lantern. It’s a fantastic final issue as long as you ignore that Kyle Rayner has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. 19 issues of setup in New Guardians and he’s relegated to the background while Hal Jordan saves the day.

It’s a moot point, though. The comic isn’t about Kyle or Hal anyway. It’s really just about Sinestro being completely awesome. Johns gets a lot of hate for his Hal worship, but damn was his Sinestro always on point.

  1. At least Kyle has his old mask back. But yeah, what’s the point of Kyle being a White Lantern? If I’m in charge, I’d retire New Guardians and assign Kyle and Simon to protect Earth. It would be the buddy cop movie of the GL books with some humor and Kyle acting as mentor. Ganthet would become the leader of the Corps, and he’d send for ten people from the rest of the universe to run the team. I figure Salaak’s inclusion as a “New Guardian” (“New New Guardian”? “Neo Guardian”??) would be a given.

    While I’m at it, here’s a sketch of a White Lantern I got last week, with links to others in the Emotional Spectrum. Hope you like it.

    Big boom in One Piece. What caused it?


  2. Man, Scarlet Spider is great. Then again, I think anything where Wolverine gets manhandled by a guy who absolutely SHOULD kick his ass is great.


  3. @Jason: A one-shot attack called the King Punch. The result is interesting, but I won’t give it away here.


  4. That Avengers panel is darling, I loved Thor’s interactions with the kids in the Savage Land.

    Haven’t been following Deadpool, that’s a wonderful panel, practically made me cackle.

    Good choice for Robots in Disguise, the scene where Shockwave chooses his new hands would probably a good runner up.


  5. Hulk Hands trick arrow is a great joke, no question.

    Brobe is dead-on with that Daredevil panel, that’s a fantastic lettering trick. I loved how all Matt’s every crazy paranoia was accurate – that’s how dire things are.

    How weird was the back-up story? Incredibly! It was like an open letter to Tucker Stone, but one that accidentally spoke-up for All-Star Superman #10, rather than the cancer subplot in DD (which presumably was the intention).
