cliffhanger of the week #13

#5 - Lying Bitch

i know this isn't really a last-page cliffhanger, but aren't you all curious what Loki - now a she - is up to? devious bitch. i know where this is going - think about Angelina Jolie and her brother swapping spit at the 2000 Oscar Awards. eeeeeewwwww.
Thor #8 (Marvel)
J. Michael Straczynski/Marko Djurdjevic/Danny Miki/Laura Martin/Chris Eliopoulos

#4 - Bring On the Bad Guys

this issue seems to have shipped late, but anyway, it looks like the story was being stretched waaaay too thin (i'm talking to you, Countdown). the only investment we'll be making on this cliffhanger is how many villains will these Parademons off before all is said and done (i imagine the dead will not involve the names "Luthor" or "Joker").
Salvation Run #7 (DC)
Matthew Sturges/Sean Chen/Walden Wong/Steve Wands/John Kalisz

#3 - Hell Hath No Fury

... like Nicholas Fury. finally we learn what the hell was this cyclops up to the last 5 years. enough to get me to buy Secret War (but too late to have it signed by Gabriel Dell'Otto. anyway, as cliffhangers go, it still works because you want to know more, especially how he could just mostly sit by during Civil War, World War Hulk, etc. and what about those faces he circled in his war room eh?

#2 - Gangsta Trippin'

Scotty and Emma are still wandering around hippie Frisco, but have run afoul of the mind-controlled cops. speaking of running afoul, the Red hoods have captured Logan, Kurt and Pete (tell me they did that on purpose!) and are planning on torturing them why M-Day happened. don't these thugs read the trade paperbacks?
Uncanny X-Men #497 (Marvel)
Ed Brubaker/Mike Choi/Sonia Oback/Cory Petit

#1 - Skrullfiesta

after Secret Invasion, i hope there will be zero Skrull stories for at least a couple of years; four every month seems to be overkill. not to mention confusing. i get confused. even if i'm a Skrull. (on a side note, the adventures of the bordering-toward-creepy Machine Man is side-splitting).
Ms. Marvel #26 (Marvel)
