Shadowland: Power Man #2 (Marvel) "War In the Neighborhood" Fred Van Lente Mahmud Asrar Scott Hanna Bruno Hang Dave Sharpe

what we learned: now i get why the Simster was raving about this yesterday - only old school guys will probably get the joke. the new Power Man (Kid?) gets into a tussle with Danny and Luke (the original), and in the process draws attention from a bunch of gangs (well, really, just a representative) who's out to bag him for money. hilarity ensues.
oh shit moment: this kid can absorb Danny's chi? really? wait, shouldn't Danny be out like a light now? remember mind melds and that healing shit (when he first "died"; thanks a lot, Captain Power).
what's next: Nights-s-sh-sh-shade! (to the tune of "Shirt Tales")


uhhh .... she's ... Bejeweled?

dude, any goddamned tax is too damn high.

so git off yer high horse.

... where a hole in our universe leads to our ass.

1) Dr. Gruenwald can't come to the phone right now. he has left the building. or he's just relaxing amongst the pages of the classic '80s Squadron Supreme TPB.


2) Wendell Vaughn, relationship coach.


3) apparently, the Vision has concealed something else rather poorly.


4) witness ... the heart transplant technique of the future!


5) gaze upon the Abyss that is the Thunder God's face. (and while you're at it, a No-Prize to tell me what "FTAGHN" means)


6) what did i miss? how does this ersatz Quasar know about Dr. Gruenwald? (who contrary to what was stated above, has not left the building)

you hit like a girl! #3

Dynamo 5 is an intriguing ongoing series (from Image Comics) - it has an interesting premise: Superhero dies, and grieving widow discovers that he's been cheating on her for years. said extramarital affairs have resulted in offspring, and those of which manifested his powers she now recruits to continue his work. talk about family drama!

here's two of his daughters opening a can o' whup ass.

Scrap-ping with a dino


Scrap metal dance




Slingshot serving punch


and the grieving widow Maddie herself, who has more secrets than the White House (sort of).



ok, i cheated on that. but a woman dressed in a business suit shooting 2 dudes with 2 guns is still badass.
