Hey, ThWiPsters. We’re getting closer and closer to the big 250th week landmark with panels from myself, Matlock, Gaijin Dan, Space Jawa and AnarChris. Original Sin continues to be Marvel’s more entertaining and less rapey version of Identity Crisis and I’ve been very happy with that. The two TMNT comics were also fantastic this week.

Helluva lot of Frank Castle stuff this week.

Elsewhere, I’ve written a review of the first arc of the WWE Superstars comic, as well as a look at various storyline aspects I expect to see in the next Mortal Kombat game.

Avengers #31 (Matlock’s pick)
Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Francis Yu

It’s the, “Shit, I’m exhausted. To hell with it, I’m taking a nap first,” edition of This Week in Comics! This week I’m joined by Gaijin Dan, Space Jawa, Was Taters and Dickeye. I did try to get through Harley Quinn #0, but that wasn’t happening. It’s so desperate and blatant in its attempt to rebrand Harley as DC’s Deadpool with breasts that it’s kind of grating. Plus, you know, they want us to enjoy the adventures of a protagonist who just murdered about a hundred kids for no reason a month ago.

Speaking of DC aping Marvel’s style, here’s a really kickass article Chris Sims wrote the other day. He can go to Hell for dedicating an entire paragraph to insulting What If, though.

Stop. Panel time!
