Can anyone ID who that school girl character is in that Quitely drawing? Feel I should know but coming up with nothing.

Vertigo joint with Philip Bond. Clever and rebellious, while never stepping over into pretension. The perfect pop comic. If I was to give any Grant Morrison work to somebody unfamiliar, it'd be KYB or WE3.

You can't just slap your problems away, either... unless you're the Hulk. Then, you can slap your problems away by air-mailing them to New Jersey.
Morrison might be writing All Star Wonder Woman, how do you feel about it?

X-23 has seen better in her hooker days.
Meanwhile, Finesse got that "Hmmm....sort of want." Look on her face.
so, with Daredevil being disappointing, Defenders is now the best book Marvel is publishing confirm/deny?

Not even close.

yeah, how was Daredevil disappointing? also, i loved the Iron Fist new avengers story, is he getting more time in Defenders now? i really need another regular series for him again.
So this crossover that's kinda being built up as this huge fucking climax to the last 11 issues of story? Yeah, absolutely fucking pointless. That plus the fact Marvel has decided to throw any sort of visual coherence out of the window by putting a team of rotating artists with Waid in order to ship multiple issues each month, and yeah, DD has been disappointing lately.
Meanwhile, Defenders just keeps getting weirder and weirder, therefore better.
(okay fine Journey Into Mystery/UXF/UXM/WatXM are also good contenders for best marvel book)

I think Secret Avengers has been pretty solid too.

i didn't think that was the "climax", since nothing really got dealt with definitively. it wasnt a tremendously memorable crossover but at least it idnt drag its nuts about/got over quick. and yeah, the artist thing's a shame but i havent seen anyone i've minded yet. the arc's still going.
so was that a yes to Iron Fist in defenders? and secret avengers, man i can't get into that lineup at all.
Maybe I'm crazy, but isn't Hope actually dangerous? Like, isn't the Phoenix Force coming for her? The same thing that has driven Scott's wife insane on several occasions, also drove Scott's ex insane (or the clone of his wife?) and drove his present squeeze insane, as well as her clones? And is something so dangerous that his wife's entire family was murdered by an alien empire in the vain hope of preventing its return?
I mean, it just seems a wee bit hasty to say "Oh they took her away because she was a mutant!" when the danger in question is something that ate suns when it was still relatively weak.

I thought the same, but give it a real chance. It's a top of the heap book in quality.
I've been trawling through the old Uncanny X-men for a while....I think I'm somewhere in the 80s though I haven't read it for a while and I'm still amazed by this whole Pheonix Force stuff from reading the posts.
I mean really? How many fucking times is this PF rigmarole going to go round and round? Is it ever different between each arc of the thing reappearing to yet another Summers' family member?

It hasn't happened that many times in all the decades.
OK maybe I exaggerated a tiny bit, probably stems from the fact I hated the whole Jean Grey/PF thing.
I just don't understand why she won't stay dead

The answer is in her name right? It's kinda how Phoenix work. It's actually the point of the whole thing. Death/rebirth.
Well I always thought she was just a host for the PF (or so far in from the comics I've read), and that it would move on to something else once she kicked the bucket. The the PF itself was one of the eternal forces in the Universe, and the host didn't truly matter in the whole rebirth aspect.
I think I need a few decades worth of lore to catch up on.....possibly just wiki the entire thing!
I can't say enough good things about these two titles.
Flash #8: This book has been what the New 52 is all about, taking a familiar character and world and expanding on it to make it interesting. Turbine is an interesting villain not only because he's crazy but you also kind of feel sorry for him. I'm also very interested with what's going on with the Central City Police and
It looks like Pied Piper is appearing soon.
All Star Western #8: The writing and artwork have been fantastic from the start. Moritat captures both the beauty and grit of the West while providing backdrop to Gray and Palmiotti's naturally flowing dialogue.
Plus, Arkham is such a screw up but I really like him!
It was great to see him in jail talking with the criminal and trying to rehabilitate him. Unfortunately, I get the feeling he's going to have a tragic end but hopefully that won't happen for a while.
That's true but I wasn't sure if they'd change it somehow with the New 52 and all. Probably not!
Well, it IS Amadeus Arkham. You already know how his story ends, I'm afraid.
Unrelated, who's gonna do the thread for May?

Thanks for the recommendation on Aquaman guys, read the first 5 issues last night. I love it, the way the humans interact with his character is a great read.

This week had some GREAT books IMO.
Daredevil was terrific, granted it didn't resolve the harddrive arc/story itself, but I loved the character interactions, plus Greg Rucka got write Spidey in 2 books, so it's all golden IMO.
...and this scene is terrific-
Other stuff I liked this week include-
FF #17, all things considered, everything that happened in this issue, aside from Johnny calling Spidey when it's not convenient, would happen if your roomie was the Lord of the Negative Zone.
Transformers Autocracy and Robots in disguise were good this week IMO.
Anyone reading Mark Millar's new books, Secret Service and Supercrooks? Supercrooks is Ocena's eleven but with supervillains. I'm rather enjoying it.
Captain America & Hawkeye was OK, but I'm not liking the non superhero outfit.
Those of you who are annoyed by the constant changes comic book companies do, HAVE to read The Goon 39...do I gotta post some pages to convince you guys?
TMNT #9 was great, and that last page man...
Aquaman was good.
All-star Western continues with the beautiful wome...I mean ART, the beautiful ART!
Anyone else read The Twelve #12? What'd you think of the finale?

I liked how things ended. Thought it was a little sappy, but appropriate given the Golden Age themes and the tone of the whole piece.
jesus. this is why daredevil is one of my favorite characters. the man loses more than most people in his position, and he wakes up day to day with this in mind....
Sounds like Patriot from the Young Avengers and Children's Crusade.
that's him. thank you!
daredevil delivering the truth tea
What's that from? The latest issue of Daredevil? Art's changed.
