This Week in Panels: Week 51
September 12th, 2010 by Gavok | Tags: adolf hitler, batgirl, Batman, booster gold, daken, iron fist, irredeemable, joker, panels, red robin, spider-man, thor, ultimate avengersIt’s a nice mix this week from me, David and regular/guest contributor Was Taters. Almost an equal amount of panels all around. Naturally, I had to choose a New Avengers panel with Iron Fist’s flashy new duds on it. Note to Marvel: keep this a thing. Relaunch his book and make that his new status quo costume. Or just relaunch his book.
Taters and I disagreed on which Batgirl panel to go with, but I went with her idea. Can’t believe someone turns down the image of Bela Lugosi riding a segway.

My comic shop didn’t get Welcome to Tranquility and they ran out of Deadpool Corps. Ah, well. No big loss. To make up for it, here is a superhero thing I remember from my childhood that is fortunately on YouTube.
Deadpool Corps was okay. No Liefeld, but I honestly didn’t notice much. It had a couple of good gags, but honestly I’d expect a book full of Deadpools to be more chaotic.
ASM: I like the new arc but are they ever going to remember that Harry has super-strength and healing from the Goblin formula? Or did that get retconned? OMIT was, um, a story with words and art. It had craft, and the art was good, but it honestly made no impression on me either way.

THE PROPER ONE, NOT THAT IMPOSTOR THAT WAS RUNNING AROUND IN MI:13 THE *REAL* ONE
I should have been getting Thor: TAM anyway, considering who’s working on it, but that just kicked my arse into making DAMN sure I start getting it.
by David Wynne September 12th, 2010 at 23:41 --replyMan, can the Lantern franchise just focus on Larfleeze from here on out? He’s only reason I’m still reading that book.
by NeoKefka September 13th, 2010 at 07:42 --replyI must go buy Weird War Tales right now.
by Prodigal September 13th, 2010 at 08:34 --replyI gotta admit, so far the Predator story in Green Lantern is much more tactful than anyone on BSS expected. It’s no Scott Pilgrim, but at least GJ was able to whip up some decent talk about fighting for real love rather than living with an empty ideal.
Still got that cover, though. :negativeman:

by clay September 13th, 2010 at 19:55 --replyWhy, yes! Best Art Direction. Sounds good to me.
by Gavok September 13th, 2010 at 21:16 --replyThe best part of that clip was that Gary Owens was Badly Animated Man.
by Gaijin D September 14th, 2010 at 13:16 --replyIt’s a small world, I mght start believing in the whole 6 degrees of separation thing. My Brother in Law’s sister – is that Sister in Law, or just nothing? Well whatever that is. Was the other art director.
Well done them!
