cliffhanger of the week #4

counting down the best (i.e., the ones i read) cliffhangers of the week.

#6 - Broken Arrow

when will Ollie and Dinah ever get to consummate their marriage? and just when we thought he's hanging up the bow. bad enough that his son got tabula rasa-ed, they have to steal his body too? and who's they??
Green Arrow/Black Canary #5 (DC)
Judd Winick/Andre Coelho/David Baron/Pat Brosseau

#5 - Spectacular Peter Pauper

yep, Pete just can't catch a break. there's a menace called Menace, murders are being blamed on him, the law is after him, he's not liquid, he can't even mend his costume, he's about to be sued, and worst of all - he doesn't even have a MacBook Air!! or even an old Dell, fer crying out loud. is this the Spidey we want or what??
The Amazing Spider-Man #550 (Marvel)
Marc Guggenheim/Salvador Larroca/Stephane Peru/Cory Petit

#4 - Come Mr Taliban, Tally Me Banana

hunting for the Bitch Formally Known As Mystique, Logan has 9 hours (well he gave himself that deadline) to bring her in cold. but that ol' girl ain't going nicely. look who's about to get shot up in Afghanistan. suffice it to say, calling the US Marines may be a little too late.
Wolverine #62 (Marvel)
Jason Aaron/Ron Garney/Jason Keith/Joe Caramagna

#3 - Girl Interrupted

what, a scantily-clad girl about to be devoured by some tentacled monster not enough of a cliffhanger for you??
Jungle Girl #4 (Dynamite)
Frank Cho/Doug Murray/Adriano Batista/Frank Martin/Zachary Metheny

#2 - Is Your Last Name Damocles, By Any Chance?

Dara surrenders to the FBI, only its not the FBI. this secret agency interrogates her, but that doesn't go well either. do you keep maintaining your innocence, or do you take that badass sword (the possession of which has already started this shit) and fight the powers that be? i don't know, i gotta go to the loo.

Luna Brothers

#1 - Force X from Westchester


i thought Wolverine was hunting our faveorite shapeshifter. now he's also hunting religious zealots. said zealots have just rebuilt Nimrod/Bastion, that metrosexy beast of all Sentinels. and they have a gun on Wolfsbane's head. at this rate, Wolverine will be the only remaining character by the time this series is over.
X-Force #1 (Marvel)
Craig Kyle/Christopher Yost/Clayton Crain/Cory Petit

I suspect Peter Parker is envious of Matt Murdock:

"Wha... he gets the best writers and artists? So I'll do what he does and do it better!"

"Matt punches the Kingpin silly?... Well, I'll punch the Kingpin sillier, and with me Black dudes to boot!"

"Matt's got his life screwed and upside-down?... Well, I'll get my life more screwed and upsided-down than he's ever had it!!"

"Matt fights with Mephisto? I'll deal with Mephisto, so suck it, Mattie!"

"Matt goes to jail and drops the soap while in the showers? Well, I... Now, wait a minute!!... Ah, huh, I didn't really mean it...!!"
