Yes, that’s right folks – you’re joining us for one more week full of panels, and one that’s the last Week In Panels for the foreseeable future.

Sad news is I got an email from Gavok earlier this week telling me he and David Brothers decided it was time to put 4^th Letter out to pasture. Expect to see a farewell article from DB up in the very near future with details. Between This Week In Panels being a 4^th Letter thing and not having a suitable blog of my own to fall back on, this means the end of ThWIP for the foreseeable future, too.

On the bright side, I’m joined for one last session of out-of-context images by Gaijin Dan, Matlock, and of course Gavok. Amusingly, Gaijin Dan’s panels also see the last of the long-running Naruto, which has me jokingly blaming the end of that series for the end of This Week In Panels.

Shall we get to some panels, then? Yes, let’s get to some panels.

One more time into the breach we go!

Welcome to this weeks special Post-Halloween Pre-Election Day edition of THis Week in Panels! Part of that absolutely terrifying stretch of time between two of the scariest days of the year!

Helping me haunt the site with panels this week are the Gerrymandering Gaijin Dan, Attack Ad Matlock, Lobbyist AnarChris, and Gridlock Gavok. BOO!

In other scary news this week, it’s absolutely terrifying how good the AXIS Carnage miniseries started out. Gavok and I both agree it’s the best comic of the week, and if the rest of the mini-series is as good as the first issue, I’d be inclined to say it’ll make the whole AXIS thing worth it regardless of how bad the rest of the event is.

For that an other haunting, decapitated panels, let’s get on with the show!

Archer and Armstrong #25

(John Layman and Ramon Villalobos)

AXIS: Carnage #1 [Matlock’s Pick]

(Rick Spears and German Peralta)

AXIS: Carnage #1 [Jawa’s Pick]

And we’re back with another WEEK IN PANELS!

Feel free to insert your own Kermit ‘yay’ gif here.

Joining me this week are Gaijin Dan, Matlock, AnarChris, and – after an unplanned two week hiatus – Gavok! And in addition to returning, he also matched up panels with Matlock on not one, but two different comics this week. And then AnarChris matched up a panel with Matlock, too.

It’s always fun to see that happen and find out which comics have that one golden panel that really tells you what it’s all about.

For that and more, let’s get on with the show!

All-New Ghost Rider #8

(Filipe Smith and Damion Scott)

All-New Invaders #11

(James Robinson and Steve Pugh)

Amazing Spider-Man #8 [Matlock’s Pick]

(Dan Slott, Christos Gage, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Humberto Ramos)

TGIThWIP!

You’d think that with Comic Con behind us, things would be back to normal. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. Gavok wanted to join us again this week, but his computer tried to launch a rebellion against mankind this week so he had to spend his free time trying to put a stop to that before it turned the world into a post apocalyptic wasteland.

You know, priorities and all.

Even with Gavok busy trying to save the world, I’m still joined by Gaijin Dan, Matlock, and AnarChris, so things are still a lot closer to normal all the same.

I think my own computer may be thinking of joining Gavok’s in rising up against me, so how about I get on to panels so I can take care of that before my own week is eaten up, too.

Avengers & X-Men: AXIS #2

(Rick Remender and Adam Kubert)

Batman and Robin #35

(Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason)

Batwoman #35

(Marc Andreyko and Georges Jeanty)

Greetings, ThWIP readers one and all, and welcome back to just that – This Week in Panels!

This week I’m joined by…actually, it’s just me and Gaijin Dan this week. Gavok actively bowed out on account of Comic Con eating up all his time and while I didn’t receive word from Matlock I’m assuming it’s the same unless/until I hear otherwise.

Considering the number of panels I usually bring to the table you could almost call it “This Week in Manga”.

The Amazing Spider-Man #7

(Dan Slott, Christos Gage, and Giuseppe Camuncoli)

Bleach #599

(Tite Kubo)

Blue Exorcist #61

(Kazue Kato)

GREETINGS ALL and welcome back to Week in Panels!

As always, it’s another week full of panel goodness thanks to the help of Gaijin Dan Man, AnarChris Man, Matlock Man, and Gavok Man. We’re still trying to figure out who’s weak to whose power.

If you’re wondering just what Spider-Man is talking about, I’ll provide the answer after the panels below.

And now Panels: START!

Action Comics #35

(Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder)

Aquaman and the Others #6

(Dan Jurgens and Lan Medina)

Black Widow #11 (Matlock’s Pick)

It’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.

ROLL THOSE PANELS!

All-New Ghost Rider #7

(Felipe Smith and Damion Scott)

Batman ’66 Meets the Green Lantern #10

(Kevin Smith, Ralph Garman, and Jon Bogdanove)

Bleach #597

(Tite Kubo)

Know what time it is? Of course you do, because it says what time it is right up THERE!

It’s WEEK IN PANELS TIME!

Joining me this week, as always, are Gaijin Dan, Gavok, and Matlock. Oh, and AnarChris. We have some panels from him this week, too.

Big week for my picks. I actually managed to beat out Gavok with the number of panels I have. Though that’s partially because he didn’t manage to get to Multiversity this week. Which is a shame, because it’s a really good issue.

However, he did have something else he wanted me to share, an article he wrote that’s basically a readers guide to Deadpool where he’s sorted through and picked out the good stuff.

Side note – while I recognize that Gavok’s read WAY more Deadpool than me (frankly, he’s probably read more of just about anything than me), I do feel inclined to say that while I agree with him that Deadpool Corps was a bad joke to be avoided, I think the Deadpool Corps prologue issues were actually pretty decent.

As it so happens, it’s also a surprisingly timely article as well, but as for why, I’ll tell you once we get through this week’s panels…

Avengers #35 (Gavok’s Pick)

(Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Paco Medina, Nick Bradshaw, and Dustin Weaver)

Avengers #35 (Matlock’s Pick)

(Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Paco Medina, Nick Bradshaw, and Dustin Weaver)

Batman and Robin: Futures End #1

(Ray Fawkes and Dustin Nguyen)

It’s another Week in Panels, brought to you by 4th Letter and your host, Me!

This week, Me, er, I am backed up by Gaijin Dan, Matlock, The AnarChris, and Gavok. For Matlock’s sake, I’m hoping that this big DC Futures End thing is actually good – or at least halfway decent and not mind-bogglingly bad – because he very well appears to be reading through every single issue of it this month like a trooper.

You’ll have to ask him if it’s actually any good, though. I haven’t been reading it at all and I don’t think Gavok’s delved into them either outside what he normally reads.

Fortunately for you, you don’t have to read any of it if you don’t want to – all you have to do is check out the panels below! So let’s get to that, shall we?

Amazing Spider-Man #6

(Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos)

Annihilator #1

(Grant Morrison and Frazer Irving)

Avengers #34.1 [Gavok’s Pick]

(Al Ewing and Dale Keown)

Avengers #34.1 [Matlock’s Pick]
