This Week in Panels: Week 262
September 28th, 2014 by Space Jawa | Tags: avengers, Beat Stuff Up Man, manga, sagaIt’s that time of week again – This Week in Panels time!
This week I’m joined by Gaijin Dan, The AnarChris, and Gavok. Matlock, meanwhile, was recruited to help ensure that the future doesn’t end in the near future. That kind of thing tends to eat up a lot of free time.
In a shameless bit of self-promotion where I abuse my power as Week in Panels host to write about any intro I’d like, I launched my own webcomic this week.
I call it Beat Stuff Up Man. It’s pretty high concept, pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It’s about a guy who gets in fights with stuff and beats them up. So far he’s beat up an angry Badgerine and is just about to get in a fight with some weird shark thingies that look an awful lot like piranhas.
It’s a side project I’ve started up for kicks and giggles to provide some more immediate gratification alongside my larger, long-term projects. So yeah, feel free to go check that out if you’d like. I’d certainly appreciate if you did.
Now that I’ve finished promoting my own selfish aims, let’s get on with what other people have put out this week.

So, yeah, Gavok tells me that the dead folks in that New Avengers panel is the cast of Supreme Power. Hickman is clearly not kidding around with this incursion stuff.
Anyway, how about we lighten the mood with a bit of cross-referential dancing, shall we?
Hickman is doing the lord’s work over in NA.
Also Saga is going to be the death of me I swear.

A guy who might as well have been Evelyn Cream corrupted the U.S. government and slave-kidnapped some American nuns so he could spirit them away to the Black Panther’s motherland in Africa, and then I looked at the cover for the next issue and it was literally just Daredevil tied up in the jungle with a bunch of spears thrown at him. What the hell? Is this the new irony?

A black female Thor? Thanks Reagan!
by Dave October 4th, 2014 at 03:28 --replyI am really enjoying Multiversity overall, but I’m a little skeeved by how the main comic’s script seems to be about an overly sensitive Grant Morrison (Nix Uotan) facing down his Internet-criticism-fueled depression and the mean ol’ critics behind it. The bad guys are really naked representations of popular opinion and pop criticism and its supposedly sadistic nature, and this anti-populist kick is maybe a bit messed up, although I guess we saw it coming with Batman and supermoney. It’s really just that the parts with Morrison’s stand-in are the least interesting parts. Even the Superman-Beyond-3D-inherited, anti-Marvel “go team DC” business from #1 is more interesting.
Society of Superheroes, though, that was more what I wanted to see out of this, especially with an artist like Sprouse, and I think maybe more of what a lot of people expected from Multiversity as a concept. I hope we get more of that and less of the 20-year-old rehash of superheroes as a way to address the author’s personal issues.

When cartoons become graphic novels and they begin to increase the size of their vocabulary you know their is a big storm brewing.
@Mark: Those aren’t blows. Those are slices. They read fine to me.
