Comic Book Moments of the Week for 02/26/14

 

After a few weeks on hiatus, although not as much as Hawkeye, Moments of the Week is back! Today we're going to check out the relaunch of Fantastic Four, see Wolverine & the X-Men end only to relaunch in a few weeks, and over in Uncanny Avengers the Marvel Universe ends. All that and Superman saving a puppy after the jump.


Batman/Superman #8

Starting a crossover with World's Finest, Batman and Superman are helping out Huntress with Power Girl's fluctuating powers. Poor french bulldog, subjected to near barbeque status.

 

It's ok, boulder to head worked in tempering her powers for a little bit.


Fantastic Four #1

The series starts with a lot of bad things happening, so everything is kind of set in a flashback. And it all starts with taking out Fin Fang Foom. While Val is living in Latveria with her Uncle Doom, Ben hits the reset and Johnny turns up the volume:

That's a fair agreement for a contract, stick to this time and planet.


Guardians of the Galaxy #12

Hugs for everyone, but no kisses yet. Corsair being alive is another unexplained mystery that litters the cosmic landscape. Meanwhile, Jean is put on trial for a crime she has yet to commit:

I can understand the reasoning behind the Shi'ar doing this, but what I don't get is why do it now instead of when Jean was around for years after the Phoenix killed itself, or herself, or whatever the Phoenix was at the time?

Hawkeye #15

Bros are trying to "evict" the apartment, but real bros are stopping them. For what nefarious purpose do the tracksuit vampires need the apartment? Did you ever see Don't Mess With the Zohan?

Kazu has a day job, and while the bros were getting beat up he snuck into the apartment. Cue cliffhanger:

Arrow in the head!


Manhattan Projects #18

Westmoreland makes Ahnald fighting the Predator look like two wusses slapping one another. With the big alien dead Oppenheimer recruits Einstein from the prison to help with his....mental issues, by sticking with shock therapy.

Oppenheimer has a big hole in his head, but we don't know who pulled the trigger. Until next issue.


Superior Spider-Man #28

Green Goblin (who knows Spidey is Ock) and his army attack Spider-Island, causing Ock to retreat. While this superpowered turf war goes on across NYC, Jameson reveals a new addition to the NYPD, which is just more Spider-Slayers:

Go Mary Jane.

All this is leading to Peter returning to normal in a few more issues.


Uncanny Avengers #17

Celestial wants to kill us, but poor manufacturing damns us all. Perhaps Wasp and Cap can still save the day!

Dang.

This was Thor's fault, going all the way back to the old days. Marvel Universe: 1939-2014.


Wolverine & the X-Men #42

Quire gets promoted to the big leagues. But as always, villains look to cause trouble at these kind of events:

Hey, funk is better than.....Doopstep. Ok, ok, I'll throw myself out.


X-O Manowar #22

The Unity team returns the armor to Aric, and he comes to an agreement with the US. His people get a nice little area of land in Nebraska, where it's idyllic and peaceful and nothing could ever go wrong, right?

 

Aric's first mission as a US Operative is to make sure the Russians, in an oddly coincidental moment of comic and current events matching up, don't get the stockpile of advanced weapons that were in the Vine's ship.

 Uh oh.
