Comic Book Moments of the Week for 12/29/10

It's a new year, but we still have some unfinished business with 2010. Namely, it's time to see the Moments of the Week of the last delivery of comics of the past year. It's a pretty big and heavy week, with some important titles like the double punch of Action Comics and Detective Comics, not to mention Avengers, or the big finale to the first arc of X-Men. Hit the jump to see them.

Action Comics #896

Oh Deadshot, never change! Also, if you look closely, the bullets seem to say "killed by the best".

Double moment here. "I quit that for lesbianism" had me laughing out loud, and then Robot-Lois breaks out the artillery. Let's have her team up with Machine Man, yes?

Damnit, Vandal Savage, why must you destroy everything? Are you some sort of caveman...oh right.

Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine #4

Wolverine is knocked back into time, and finds himself in Spider-Man's origin tale as a wrestler. As you can see, this takes place before the death of Uncle Ben. 

Here we learn just who exactly is sending them through time: Czar and Big Murder. The former has a "Timestick" that "knocks your butt into next week. Literally."

And on top of that they seem to be working for none other than Mojo. It's been a while since we've seen him, hasn't it?

Avengers #8

Medusa takes Black Bolt's place among the Illuminati. You would figure someone would have told Reed that Black Bolt had died, it's been a while since the end of War of Kings. Also, that's a very ugly Lockjaw.

The Illuminati stand revealed. I like the winter gear the Avengers are wearing here.

Batman: The Dark Knight #1

David Finch seeks the answer to how many bird puns can be put into a single double spread page.

Captain America #613

As if Bucky wasn't in enough trouble as it is, Sin tries to raise some more muck for him.

Deadpool Team-Up #886

Oh those treacherous yellow caption boxes, always failing you at the most important moments.

Detective Comics #872

Just a nice scene between Dick and Tim. Pretty cool gadget too.

The auctioneer and leader of the Mirror House. He is straight up evil, as you can see.

One of the things they auction is the crowbar that the Joker used to beat Jason Todd. Straight up evil, I tell you.

Green Lantern #61

The Butcher possesses a person. The design is creepy enough, but the red-constructs of knives around the belt are just silly.

Hulk #28

Uatu the Watcher seems to have abandoned his post, presumably because the Red Hulk punched him.

S.H.I.E.L.D. #5

The identity of The Night Machine, and father of Leonid, is revealed: none other than Nikola Tesla! (I do believe this calls for a crossover with Atomic Robo).

Spider-Girl #2

Several interesting things here: first and most important of all, the death of Anya's father. There's also the Red Hulk acting oddly out of character, and the mysterious character watching the whole scene.

Ultimate Spider-Man #151

Black Cat was about to kill Kingpin when Mysterio beat her to the punch. Then again, Kingpin never seems to die. It could very well be an illusion.

Ultimate Thor #3

Odin's throne here looks an awful lot like the movie version.

Widowmaker #2

The identity of Ronin here is teased some more. It's a man with short black hair. Any ideas?


X-Men #6

Surprising absolutely no one, Dracula kills his son and takes back his place as leader of vampires.

Not to be outdone by David Finch, Victor Gischler tries to see how many cliche lines he can fit into a single page.

What are you, retarded or something? I'm the goddamn Cyclops!
