This Week in Panels: Week 207
September 8th, 2013 by Gavok | Tags: cyborg superman, injustice, joker, panels, superior foes of spider-man, two-face, x-men
Welcome back for another week of showcasing what we’ve read through single panels. I’m helped out by Matlock, Gaijin Dan and Space Jawa. Matlock went the distance, as he appears to want to read all of the Villains Month crap from DC. Better him than me. The one omission is Green Lantern as the entire issue is splash pages and that’s against the rules for ThWiP. Still, nice art.
I have a new article up at Den of Geek US. 10 Awesome Scenes from Bad Movies. Go give that motherfucker a read! I have a couple more articles slated to be posted there over the next week, including a really fun wrestling-based one.

Recently, Rifftrax has been doing the old Batman serials. They’ve only done two, but they’re fun stuff so far.
I also just picked up their treatment of Silent Rage, which is about Chuck Norris fighting a knockoff of Michael Myers. That has to be great.

So Marvel does the .1 thing to bring new new readers to already established series…then does a ‘soft reboot’ of sorts. Meanwhile, DC does a clusterfuckboot and then later does the .1 thing to pull in readers.
The hell is going on here?
Also: Why is Kitty using generic Jewish slang again even though she hasn’t done that since the 70s?
Does Bendis REALLY enjoy Yiddish so much he’ll throw it in anywhere? I know Ultimate Peter Parker is dead and he can’t make him sound like an old Jewish Man in the body of a teenager, but throwing it out of the mouth of a character who happens to be Jewish but never really spoke the Yiddish and essentially grew up in Westchester surrounded by mutants, bipedal creatures from other worlds and can probably swear in Shi’ar…just happens to slide back into ‘her roots’?
It is so cute anytime someone tries to make Captain Cold act serious, especially when he’s serious about his little forcibly-held group session of men in tights. And since that’s all anyone ever does with Captain Cold, he’s a treasure.
Why did that man steal baby formula? He still has teeth, they’re right there in-panel. Did he steal a baby to go with the formula?
Mania looks like a venom sonic. Just picture her doing a afternoon special on the right and wrong way to cross the street.
Is . . . is that Black Alice with Skeletor? Looks like her hair from the back.
And damn, Molly grew up brawny. How can Wolverine forget the time she punched him so hard, he wound up flying through the streets of New York?
I had been thinking about getting that Justice League Dark issue. I figured Nocenti would right it as relevant to her work on Katana. But if Didio’s involved, I don’t know.
Gavok, how are you liking Superior Foes of Spider-Man?
Oh, and look at that, Gohan’s going to trying be useful. Be nice if just once he could do that without someone having to die first.
@Jason: Well, she was a lot shorter and probably a lot cuter the last time they met.
Why a panel from last month’s “Invincible” rather than this month?
@LurkerWithout: Because I’m an idiot.
@CalvinPitt: I kept hearing good things about it, so I decided to pick it up finally. Definitely the best thing Spencer’s written.
@Capo Del Bandito: Who doesn’t use generic Yiddish slang? I do that, and I’m not even Jewish.
Also: “Runaways” is a dumb name for a teen group. I felt the title was a description, not a name. Not like I’d expect “The Pride” or “The Fall,” but Molly’s going, “Hey, I used to be with the Runaways. Remember? I was twelve-going-on-seven, had the fans eating out of my hands, and wore insanely cute hats. Nothing, Logan?!?”
Good Lord. Silent Rage. Saw that in the theater when it came out in… pause for new tab/Wikipedia… 1982?! Yeesh. Loved it, though. Not sure I’d actually like a Rifftrax of it; guess I’ll have to try it out. Enjoy!
@JustJohn67: Silent rage is so good!
