Comic Book Moments of the Week for 03/23/11

Welcome to a slightly-late version of Moments of the Week! This week is HUGE, as it tends to be with the last week of every month, with what seems like every Batman book dropping, a bunch of X-Men books, plus many more. The clear winner, however, is Justice League: Generation Lost, which earned a bunch of moments. Hit  the jump to see them all.

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #5

The secret origin of the time diamonds, which actually grow on trees.

Spider-Man and Wolverine equip themselves with the time diamonds, to varying degrees of success.

Dark Phoenix Wolverine. The universe is totally #$%&ed.

Batman: Streets of Gotham #21

Jane Doe steals Tommy Elliot's face, which looks like Bruce Wayne. This is going to end in tears.

Batman: The Dark Knight #1

Batman just straight up tortures Penguin by breaking several of his bones. Might want to chill out there, Bruce.

Killer Croc actually manages to take down Batman. Let me repeat that, HE TOOK DOWN BATMAN! And instead of killing him, the most feared vigilante of all of Gotham, they instead decide to set up an elaborate trap intended to kill. This is like Austin Powers all over again. JUST SHOOT HIM!

Batman, Inc. #4

Morrison brings the old Batwoman into continuity in a glorious fashion.

More importantly, he also brought back Ace the Bat-Hound.

Daredevil: Reborn #3

Damnit, this is the last time I let Matt Murdock burrow my truck!

Looks like DD is fighting one of the twins from the Matrix.

FF #1

The new FF suits can change their appearance just by thinking about it. That's some hardcore SCIENCE! right there.

Yeah, why use our superior technology to create a safe environment to live in? Nathaniel Richards is a jerk.

Green Lantern #64

Parallax gets inside the Green Lantern Power Battery, restoring the yellow impurity. Hey, just in time for the movie, too!

The Guardians of the Universe are possessed by the emotional entities. I normally like Dough Mahnke's designs, but these look completely and utterly ridiculous.

Green Lantern Corps #58

Speaking of the yellow impurity, it causes the Green Lanterns to start going kind of crazy and fight each other.

Gathet's ring explodes, taking his hand with him. Maybe he can start a support group with Aquaman.

Justice League: Generation Lost #22

Here's how Blue Beetle is not actually dead. I went back and checked, and it looked pretty bad.

Just found this scene pretty funny.

Max's plan is to kill Wonder Woman. One problem though, everyone has forgotten about Wonder Woman, just like they had forgotten about Max.

So Rocket Red tries to show them how Wonder Woman looks like, with a few modifications.

They catch up with Wonder Woman, to try to warn her. Interestingly enough, it ties into with what's going on in the WW title. I wonder how big of a part Max Lord played in her new origin and everyone forgetting about her, or if this is just a happy coincidence that they managed to sync up.

New Mutants #23

Now this is interesting! In the Age of X alternate storyline, there's a Phoenix powered character (looks like Rachel Summers to me, but it's a bit hard to tell). The comments about getting lost could be referring to the Phoenix Force being lost all these years, but it can also be taken as a meta commentary on the status of Rachel, who is lost in space.

Uncanny X-Force #6

Psylocke uses the Danger Room to talk with his brother Brian (a.k.a. Captain Britain). Is the costume new, or just a variation on the old one?

Uncanny X-Men #534

Emma, no need to lose your head! (Spoiler: it's not real). Also, I was going to say how Greg Land was improving a lot, but then I realized there was a second penciller on the this issue.

X-Men #9

The mastermind behind the Lizard creature turns out to be Dark Beast after all, as someone predicted here in the comments section a month ago. You guys are good!
