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]

(Rick Spears and German Peralta)

AXIS: Carnage #1 [Gavok’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)
