This Week in Panels: Week 209

September 22nd, 2013 by | Tags: , , , , , , ,

Hey! It’s you! I’m busy as hell this week, but I’m still going to be doing a bunch of ThWiP off-shoots over the next couple days. Tomorrow it’s This Year in Panels while this Friday I’ll be doing the return of This Character in Panels. Why? Because it’ll have been four years as of Friday, that’s why. Ah, the days of ThWiP Week 1 in 2009.

Back when people still remembered Skaar.

So anyway, this week brings us the end of Injustice: Gods Among Us for the time being. “Year One” just ended and there’ll be an Annual in November. Then it relaunches in January. In the meantime, I’ve written a retrospective/review of sorts for Den of Geek US the other day. Speaking of which, I’m going to be doing more hands-on stuff with that site, so that’s pretty exciting for me.

This week I have my fellow Injustice reader Matlock, who is still reading up on most of the DC villains comics. Gaijin Dan still has his manga and Was Taters makes her grand return. Let’s get to it.

In case you’re wondering, yes, Alfred did just beat the bejeezus out of Superman. It is an amazing season finale.

Infinity and its Hickman-written tie-ins still rule. They rule so much. So very, very much.

The other day I remembered this Crypt Keeper bit from Beavis and Butt-head and couldn’t stop laughing.

“You’re a prevert, Beavis.”

  1. Woah woah woah. Venom 41 there….the symbiote’s finally getting to SAY something? Or is it just Flash having a meltdown?
    Someone needs to assemble a dead children bodycount for Villain’s Month. Because this is starting to creep out of absurdly stupid into just disgusting.


  2. @Drakyn: It turns out that when the symbiote spawned itself to create Mania, it also gave her the mark of the devil that’s been possessing Venom. Flash used this crystal thingy to enter his own mind/memories to converse with the symbiote. The symbiote basically told him, “I passed the mark onto the girl to save you. I’m always saving you and you never give a shit about what I do unless it suits your needs. Fuck you.”


  3. @Gavok: Woah, extirpation of a bizarre subplot in a cool way that segues naturally into a conversation that was a long time in coming?
    It’s Venommas in September! Thanks!


  4. I”d look into buying the videogame version of Injustice if Alfred was the final battle in it…


  5. @LurkerWithout: Who WOULDN’T?
