Vril Dox's uniform looks really nice.

Shame about Kyle's death. It was too "in your face" and unforeshadowed, tough. I bet he'll be back, if not by the end of Blackest Night, in one year's time.

Eric - Warworld, Sinestro Corps Battery. Those were not a case of a GREEN power battery exploding. It is completely logical to theorize that a ring which utilizes green energy would not be able to use that green energy to contain a massive explosion made up of the same energy but in a much more concentrated powerful form.

@Anonymous - While that's a funny "dark comedy" (not sure what qualifies as dark since that's just funny to me), but Ennis had plenty of scenes like that from the few arcs I've read, particularly with regards to Barracuda (too many to count actually). The issue was mostly about establishing the "kingpin" and did its job reintrepting him for the MAX line in my opinion. For reference, that's the only dark comedy panel in the whole issue.

As an english comics reader I'm required to go DEATH'S HEAD YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! at any point he appears. picking that up on thursday late simply because i found out he's in it

and spidey was chock-full of moments thanks to the first good deadpool showing since Cable and Deadpool, loved it hard

Sigh...there goes all of Ennis' hard work on Punisher MAX , right down the drain... They should have just renamed this Marvel Knights Punisher if they're gonna go the dark comedy route again.

and now that it has been highlighted here and in other places...you can imagine Joe Q's anger at the DC free plug .....

That is until someone reminded him " you know Joe we still have that Avengers run by Johns that we have never reprinted aside from a brief 1st trade run"

Faster than you can say Kha-Ching....the next 3 months of solicitations have 2 of his 3 Avengers TPBs getting the reprint treatment..coincedence? LOL

@Daryll B. - Ya, the only instances of constructs I've seen are with Scareface from the Batman mini, the baby carriage in Titans and Blue Beetle with his gun in Booster Gold. I think some Sinestro Corps Black Lanterns used one or two as well. It's rare to see them use any, so it was interesting to see them all combine their powers into one big construct.

2009-11-17T18:26:02.503-04:00

That Batman and Robin scene had the funny overtones of Chris Tucker standing over the felled Tiny Lister Jr. in Friday saying "You just got knocked the F*** out Man!"

Art aside, Joe Kelly working with Deadpool and Spidey in the same book was crazy fun...can't wait for the next meeting..

So the black rings can make constructs? I know I know I couldn't resist either because I had a couple of really bad Captain Planet jokes for that scene there too....

Gotta disagree about X-Man. I read the original limited series, but didn't stick around long after they folded Nate out of AoA and into the 616 universe. The only thing that brought me back into the fold was Steven Grant's run on the title, during the period when Warren Ellis revamped several of the 2nd tier X-titles. I would have treated Nate's return like a dog's lawn cigar if they treated Grant's run as non-canon.

2009-11-17T18:10:29.445-04:00

Totally agree with you on Tony Daniel on Batman. I really don't know what DC was smoking.

Seriously they should have had Morrison do his thing on Batman and Robin, Rucka do Batwoman on Detective, and Paul Dini write the Batman main title. Even his weakest Streets of Gotham story is better than the crapfest Winnick and Daniel have given us.

Freaking loved these moments.

Kirk, don't worry about the delays because I would rather wait a couple of days and have great moments, than have you rush and the moments suck.

Agree with you on BL Blue Beetle's new costume, but I thought the image of him rising out of his grave in that costume was creepier.

I would love to see Vril Dox and Sinestro butt heads, and Dox is smart enough not to fall into the same trap Mongul did.

I don't know which is funnier, Deadpool mentioning the DC event Blackest Night in Marvel's flagship book, or that Geoff Johns would approve that message.

Deadpool is most definately the character of the week, between his Blackest night mention and the Batman-esque chicken stunt, he was amazing.

P.S.>> Your comparison of Deadpool to Batman suddenly wants me to petition Marvel and DC for a Deadpool vs. Batman crossover event.

2009-11-17T17:47:58.282-04:00

That image of the guy putting his eyes back in his sockets cracks me the fuck up. Steve Dillon and Jason Aaron are a perfect team for this dark comedy stuff.
