Comic Book Moments of the Week for 08/05/09

This week's Moments of the Week could just as well be called the Secret Six #12 image dump with how many moments that single issue had in it and I actually left several out! I probably could have put up the entire issue if I wanted to as it was just that damn good. Invincible Iron Man also made a respectable showing with several moments of its own while Cry for Justice earned most of the moments of the 'weak'. Hit the jump to see these moments and more!

Amazing Spider-Man #601

Michelle's face is the best reaction ever.

Hey, I own that site!


Captain America: Reborn #2

It's been forever since I've seen a Captain America origin scene, but did he kill the traitor in the original origin? That seems really odd to me for some reason. Cap killing someone in the 616 universe, even back in WWII, just seems wrong to me. Don't know why.


Doom Patrol #1

There's something funny to me about DC's version of the Large Hadron Collider disobeying the laws of physics and attempting to negotiate with the people of Earth so it does not destroy them.

This one was from the Metal Men backup in Doom Patrol #1.


Exiles #5

I'm partly to blame for this since I'm not buying Exiles, but it's always sad to see critically acclaimed fan favourite books get cancelled. But they really should have let this title lay low for a while and tried to dissociate it from the Claremont run.


Ghost Riders: Heaven's On Fire #1

Goddamn investment banker spawn of Satan! I mean, Shuh-tan. Like the hockey player!


Invincible Iron Man #16

Really liked them acknowledging that Norman isn't as smart as Tony Stark and couldn't just make/repurpose a flawless Iron Man armour of his own.

I believe this is the first time we've seen a hint of what's behind Madame Masque's mask. I know I've tried finding scans of her face online and failed before, so I could be wrong on that.

It puts the dress on or it gets the hose!

Greg Land wants his porn references back.


Justice League: Cry for Justice #2

This scene has been talked to death numerous times online already, but I just had to comment on how ridiculous this single page is and wonder how it made it past editorial.

It's almost as bad as Green Lantern complaining about being cold when his ring regulates his temperature and blocks any extreme cold or heat.

And almost as stupid as using the 3 Stooges as the models for the dead guards in a scene that is supposed to be a serious moment.


Secret Six #12

Deadshot is my hero.

I didn't say he was a good role model.

Sucks being base human in the DCU.

Unless you have a banshee on your side...

...or a gun toting Amazon with a mad on for her would be captors.

Of course, the devil (I think it's supposed to be Grendel) is a good substitute if you don't have a banshee or Amazon around.


Ultimate Fantastic Four: Requiem #1

So...Dr Strange got his head popped by a normal human that was just on fire?


Ultimate X-Men: Requiem #1

James Cameron wants his Terminator 2 prop back.

Uh, who the hell is Assemble (the Hulk/Cap/Thor cyborg thing in the back) and why is he showing up randomly in this requiem issue?

Classy funeral X-Men. I see why everyone hates mutants. Nice of you to put Cyclop's head back together, dress him up in his X-Men uniform, put a visor on his exploded head and leave him out on the lawn for the carrion to have some fun. And Iceman, you are still a douche. Lose the damn bandana already.


War of Kings #6

Left out the build up to this, but it featured Gladiator walking through the ruins of the Shi'ar homeworld, picking up the imperial scepter and the people crying out for him to lead them. Was awesome.

Ahaha, Vulcan win? Show him what's for Black Bolt.

Jolly good, ol' chap. You showed him what's for! That charred hamburger in the bottom left is actually Vulcan, for those wondering. Sadly, he gets better. Razzafrazza omega mutants.

That's what we call a pyrrhic victory.


War of Kings: Warriors #2

Why is that kid's head on backwards?
