It’s that time true believers. The afterglow of Wednesday is fading and we’re all left with a sordid pile of geekery to be filed meticulously in long boxes or simply thrown on the ‘pile’. But before that, here is your Panel of the Week for just one last look into the wonderful and the strange.
Flash #1 Brightest Day
I really hate …
News broke yesterday that Marvel’s most beloved character would be getting a brand new animated series next year. That’s right, kids. Spidey is getting another reboot for the small screen, but this time it’s based on Bendis’ Ultimate Spider-Man.
This could go either way, but basing the series off of Bendis’ Ultimate series …
Here are some of the books that I’ll be picking up this week. Blackest Night is over and Brightest Day is finally upon us. Bullseye gets some screen time with Punisher. Second Coming is already up to Chapter Three. Cover your eyes from The Light and Billy Shakespeare has got his own problems to deal with. Should be a good week. Rolling …
What a great week. Expensive week, but great. SHIELD, Turf, even the Invincible Returns catch-up issue was much better than I anticipated. The big bright shining star was easily SHIELD, and for good reason, but the art all over the rack was superior. I clipped out a few for you, so here it is, your Panel of the Week.
S.H.I.E.L.D. …
I’m switching things up this week. Instead of my usual Issue Number One pick I’m going to go with five number one issues! (And one number five issue, oh the parity!) In this world of ‘written for trade’ comics here, certainly, are five more entries. As Señor Wolk has already pointed out we’ve got a kajillion too many tpb’s out there …
We just received a special care package from Tony Stark informing us that Warren Ellis’ Iron Man Extremis will be released as a motion comic on April 16th and for the first time ever, you can download the first of six motion comics from iTunes, Xbox Live or Zune. My extended preview of the first episode is smothered in watermarks, so …
I’m not sure why I think video game comics are going to be good. I keep trying (Gears of War, Metal Gear, Street Fighter, Halo) and I keep getting burned. This week God of War and Dragon Age were both forgettable as well. What franchises out there might make a good comic? Final Fantasy seems like a good candidate, no? Assassin’s Creed? …

Details are starting to emerge about this year’s Spider-Man game and it looks like it’ll be a stark visual departure from Activision’s most recent web-slinging games. Actually, make that several visual departures. Shattered Dimensions looks like it’ll feature some reality-hopping elements, …
I’m going to step out a little this week. I’m going try some adaptations on for size. Starting with some video games (Dragon Age, God of War) and moving on to some feature films (Terminator) I’m going to see how well these tales translate. FrankenCastle continues his stitched and stilted march, there’s a new hope that’s not a Star Wars …
When I met with Peter Molyneux at GDC this year, he discussed superhero battles that could never happen, tattletale weapons that you’ll be able to sell online and how his upcoming game Fable III will make players feel like President Obama. The respected designer behind the blockbuster Fable franchise likes to talk. That loquaciousness …
Well, Blackest Siege continued the holding pattern while we wait for the last chapters of the main books to come out. Nemesis crashed a plane into Washington DC. I guess that’s cool now? Nightcrawler throws away a promising career in the circus. Just tosses it away. But, at least we got to see Taskmaster get double teamed. All that and …
Have you had enough Mark Millar yet? Have you? Well, get ready for the next wave of Millar-ness because Nemesis drops this week and I can’t wait. Seriously, is it Wednesday yet? There’s also a ton of Siege related titles dropping this week but the event book to look for is going to be Green Lantern, or should I say WHITE Lantern? …
