oi!!!

things that made me go Colin Cowherd-whoa! for the week.

1) the return of ... Night Thrasher?!

right. this is why i don't read Wizard or other solicitation publications much. i like being surprised once in a while. that better not be Dwayne Taylor underneath that mask. oh i know ... its Dwyane Wade!!!

New Warriors #1
Kevin Grievoux, Paco Medina, Juan Vlasco

2) Mandarin steals fire from the gods ...

... as head of Prometheus Gentech Inc. through the (underhanded) efforts of U.S. Sec-Def Jack Kooning, Maya Hansen (responsible for Tony Stark's Extremis) gets pirated by Prometheus. yeah i know, i should have chosen the death of Sal Kennedy (hey this is Marvel; he'll be reborn as a powerful zombie later, along with Happy Hogan). but the Mandarin-as-CEO is just too good to resist.

Iron Man #18
Daniel/Charles Knauf, Roberto De La Torre, Jonathan Sibal

3) Beta Ray Bill gets wrecked

aw, c'mon!!! who had the bright idea of imbuing these losers with Thor-level powers anyway? Bill used to pimp slap gods and world-beating aliens. now he's being slapped around by 4 drunk rednecks. and the cruelest cut of all from the Wrecker: "ain't nobody told you, horse head? Thor knockoffs have a short shelf life nowadays." wait till the real Thor comes back, asshole.


Omega Flight #3
Michael Avon Oeming, Scott Kolins

and for the knockout ...

4) Mary Marvel goes to the dark side!

'nuff said!


Countdown #47
Paul Dini, Sean McKeever, Tom Derenick
