This Week in Panels: Week 52
September 19th, 2010 by Gavok | Tags: azrael, crossbones, deadpool, doctor doom, hulk, joe the barbarian, marvel universe vs punisher, panels, punisher, spider-man, steve rogers, thunderbolts, wolverineGoddamn. It’s been an entire year of this. I hope you folks have been actually enjoying these. I mean, I do it regardless because it’s fun, but if you’re digging it too, sweet.
It’s just me and Was Taters this time around. Shockingly, we’ve BOTH read Azrael this week, making me wonder if we’re in fact the only two who are keeping up with the series. And yet Azrael is still going to last at least 14 issues. I’m not complaining, but it is rather strange to me. Maybe Didio really likes the guy.

At this point, I’m really losing my patience on Deadpool and a recent Daniel Way interview with Newsarama doesn’t give me much hope for its future. If I’m not satisfied by the end of this current arc, I’m dropping it.
Tomorrow I’m going to be following up this post with This Year in Panels. And later on I’ll be doing a 4 Elements post. And on Tuesday, we’ll have another Cripes on Infinite Earths installment. What I mean to say is: stay tuned.
In the meantime, here’s the greatest ending to any wrestling match, featuring Player Uno.
What is up with the dudes mouth in that Azrael panel? Doesn’t look right without the upper face.
by Lincoln September 19th, 2010 at 23:01 --replyThe man in question is an overly religious dude with mind powers. He picked up a golden cross and heated it up (both actions with his mind) and shoved it against his face so that he has this big cross on his face and no nose.
Crusader is a pretty rad villain.
by Gavok September 19th, 2010 at 23:15 --replyIn contrast, I dug Deadpool this week. Barberi’s art was looking good, and the story was pretty funny.
by david brothers September 20th, 2010 at 01:00 --replyI never would have guessed that Doom was a Trekkie.
by W4 September 20th, 2010 at 03:17 --replyToo bad Az doesn’t have Storm’s powers. One light shower and Crusader drowns t’death.
by West September 20th, 2010 at 07:44 --replyThe juxtaposition of the captions against the “World’s Greatest Dad” mug was one of my favorite parts of this month’s Unwritten.
by Prodigal September 20th, 2010 at 08:23 --replyHuh, there’s Halo weapons on that Arab guy’s wall.
by Mike P September 20th, 2010 at 10:26 --replyI recall seeing Halo weapons pop up in Messiah War too. I wouldn’t be surprised if certain artists have been riffing them even before then.
Jason Aaron keeps being amazing at playing with superhero properties. Him and Rick Remender both.
by Red Scharlach September 20th, 2010 at 11:04 --replyI like the thought that Doom and other like him have lives outside of sitting in their evil palaces, thinking evil thoughts all day.
by darrylayo September 20th, 2010 at 11:55 --replyI love these posts.
