Pretty small week on the Marvel front. They were sold out of Fantastic Four, so I only picked up Captain America and Bucky. I got the usual crew this time around with David Brothers, Was Taters and Space Jawa.
Kind of a small week on all fronts, now that I think about it.
All-Star Western #3
Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, Moritat and Jordi Bernet
Annihilators Earthfall #3
Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Tan Eng Huat
Okay, going a little early on this one. In just a little bit, I’m off to Madison Square Garden to check out Survivor Series. If the entire arena is to be killed due to a cataclysm caused by Mark Henry’s immense rage, know that I wanted to go out this way.
I’m joined by Space Jawa and Was Taters. Taters supplied a panel for Nightwing that, according to her, best describes her feeling on the book as a major Dick Grayson fan.
While I don’t usually want to give out context, the panel right before the one I chose for Avengers Academy features Finesse breaking through a window while screaming, “LEAVE HIM ALONE!” and hitting Magneto in the face with a projectile escrima stick. Balls the size of Celestials.
Wait… does Red Hulk’s voice sound like Deadpool?
Avengers #19
Brian Michael Bendis and Daniel Acuna
Avengers Academy #22
Christos Gage and Sean Chen
This week I’m joined only by Space Jawa. It’s a somber week of panels, as Darkwing Duck meets its end through the final issue. There are rumors that Disney is going to try to start an imprint within Marvel and I really, really hope it works out.
My comic shop got double copies of Point One, so they did the sensible thing and cut the price in half. Even then, I found I just didn’t care enough to pick it up. I heard the Nova stuff was terrible.
Also, remember, if you see a panel in a new comic and want to see it represented, by all means send me a line.
Avenging Spider-Man #1
Zeb Wells and Joe Madureira
Batman and Robin #3
Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason
Nature forced me to take last week off, so like usual, I just merge last week’s missing update with this week. Probably wasn’t the best plan, since between myself, David Brothers, Was Taters and Space Jawa, we have a total of 55 panels. Great Zampano, that’s hefty!
Space Jawa, by the way, has ended up convincing me to check out the new Ninja Turtles series. The first issue is a bit shaky, but the rest of it has my attention. Especially digging the different origin that goes a long way in explaining why Raphael is the grittier and less refined of the team.
And away we go.
Action Comics #3
Grant Morrison, Rags Morales and Gene Ha
All-Star Western #2 (Was Taters’ pick)
Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Moritat and Jordi Bernet
Welcome to This Week– ah, screw this. I’m getting my random YouTube clip out of the way. Look at this shit.
What the hell, 80’s? What the hell?
Yeah, so I got David, Was Taters and Space Jawa on board. If ThWiP is about whittling down a comic to one panel, I think we’ve done gangbusters with Supergirl #2.
Avengers #18
Brian Michael Bendis and Daniel Acuna
Batman #2 (Was Taters’ pick)
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo
It’s Sunday, New York Comic Con is over and I am completely exhausted. Wait, shit. It’s Sunday, which means I have to go home to doing a ThWiP update? Ughhhhhhh… All right, let’s get to it.
I’m joined by David Brothers, Was Taters and brand new contributor Solenna. Space Jawa is currently on location in Turkey, filming the next Agent Cody Banks installment. I wish him well.
American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest #5
Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy
Batman and Robin #2
Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason
blah blah blah panels blah David Brothers, Was Taters blah Space Jawa.
On with the show.
Action Comics #2
Grant Morrison, Rags Morales and Brent Anderson
Animal Man #2
Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman
Before I get started, I’d just like to point out that I’ve succeeded in improving Marvel’s miniseries event Fear Itself. Behold!
I’d read the hell out of that comic. Anyway, got a gigantic set of panels this week. Not only did I read way more than can be considered healthy, but I’m joined by David, Was Taters, Space Jawa and Luis. This is a week where we’ve been blessed with Venom vs. Anti-Venom, which is a great way to distract me from the unfortunate sadness that comes from Anti-Venom’s impending death/depowering.
🙁
All-Star Western #1 (Gavin’s pick)
Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Moritat
All-Star Western #1 (Was Taters’ pick)
Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Moritat
Welcome to This Week in Panels: Wolverine Saying Awesome Shit Edition. This week I’m joined by David Brothers, Was Taters and Space Jawa. A good amount of overlap here with the DC New 52 and I had to give all three stories in Fear Itself: The Home Front their own spots because each one was just as enjoyable. There was also a one-page story in there about Dust that was funny because Howard Chaykin drew it. Chaykin drawing a character with a covered up face. That’s too perfect.
Avengers #17
Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita Jr.
Batman #1 (Was Taters’ pick)
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo
I can’t believe I’ve been doing this crap for two years. I just did the 100th installment of This Week in Panels a month ago, so this is less of a big deal, but whatever. This Week in Panels has been about me and people who read this for whatever reason picking out panels that best represent the comics we read. What is the comic? Sell it with one panel without the context. Let the readers figure it out.
Going with what I did a year ago, I decided to do a little look back at the past 52 weeks. The challenge is to showcase a panel from each week without double-dipping on the same series. Let’s see what the last year have given us.
Amazing Spider-Man #664
Dan Slott, Christos Gage, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Max Fiumara
Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #5
