This Week in Panels: Week 222
December 23rd, 2013 by Gavok | Tags: animal man, longshot, panels, scarlet spider, thunderbolts, tmnt, wonder womanTriple 2s! Neat! And with a Two-Face comic in there also!
Huge, huge week this update, breaking forty images, which may be a ThWiP record. Helps that I have Matlock, Gaijin Dan, Space Jawa and Was Taters backing me up.
My time’s been eaten up by a lot of personal things, but I have some stuff coming up in the next couple days. A really nice guest article and a little something different. In the meantime, here’s a review I wrote for Den of Geek US on a comic called Rainbow in the Dark. It’s the Matrix meets Pleasantville meets They Live as a rock opera with Sam Elliot as the wise mentor character.

Thunderbolts Annual is a hoot and has one of my new favorite Punisher moments. Highly recommended.
Since Christmas is on the way, I suppose I should post one of my favorite Christmas songs. Still waiting on the Gavin Jasper/David Brothers reenactment.
I’ll admit, your title image for this week made me laugh out loud.
by Space Jawa December 23rd, 2013 at 08:46 --replyNothing from the latest Empowered? Lots of fun vignettes, some character redemption, and Emp’s tenancy for getting tied up is explained rather easily. Good times . . . unless you’re Sistah Spooky. Or Hardkore.
by Jason December 23rd, 2013 at 22:03 --replyThunderbolts Annual #1 (Gavin’s pick)… Anton Danger’s Lazurus Jacket… what does that mean? And what setting are they going for with them? The middle ages or turn of the century?
by X December 25th, 2013 at 09:00 --reply@X: Dr. Strange has gone rogue, so the Thunderbolts have stolen a bunch of magical weapons to give them the edge so they can take him out.
by Gavok December 25th, 2013 at 20:19 --replyChris Yost loves to jaw-jaw about the sad-sad, dunnhe?
by Dan Coyle December 27th, 2013 at 14:15 --replyGavok,
I take it your favorite Punisher moment was his response to “You can’t kill gods”?
That, combined with the cowboy hat panel in the Simone Agent X issue that just got re-printed last week have really reminded us that Frank Castle is one of Marvel’s most underutilized comedic characters.
by SB December 28th, 2013 at 15:11 --reply@SB: Nah. It’s the part at the end with, “THIS is what makes me happy.”
