Cage #4 Mini Finale
Just perfect. The dialog, colors, and panels were amazingly done. The best thing about this book was how it dedicated so many pages to the most epic fight ever. Best Fight you will ever see Luke cage in . Great ending as well. I wish Genndy would write another series.
Captain America: Sam Wilson #18
PoC Nick Spencer has come for us
After a couple of side issues and road trips we finally get to a meaty issue and man does it hard. My eyes actually got watery because Nick Spencer decided to write about some real shit. The way Sam confided in everyone and their responses felt so true. The real MVP though is RAGE. Easily one of the strongest issues of the week.
Invincible Iron Man #3
Solid chapter. We figure out how the company is going and what is going with all of Tony's love ones. Best part of this issue was Riri trying to come up with a name for the suit. Bendis and I think the same when it comes to stereotypes. I love the art in this issue. Suit looks great on Riri. Also this book answered another question of mine. Jessica Jones is set a little bit in the future
U.S.Avengers #2
So we all know Danielle Cage is in this book but we finally found out why and her power set is awesome as hell. Then we find out about the Gold Skull and what he is up to. The dialog is solid in this book, and a lot of stuff is moving but the issue ends fast imo. The one panel people will be mentioning is
Spider-Gwen #16
what an awesome issue. I was iffy on this arc but now I am fully on board. this chapter was just lovely. the age thing was brought up, Gwen and miles having a lot to talk about, and Matt Murdock! Like woah yah didn't tell me he was a badass in this. The colors were so cool. Felt like neo-New York. The ending is definitely a plot twist.

Please let this happen.
A few months ago I would have said there is literally zero chance this happens. But I didn't think we'd be in a time where DC are putting out Deluxe editions for their ongoings. So who knows.
It's one of those things where, you see that's where the script was going but Robson Rocha on the pencils COMPLETELY MISSED IT.

Monsters Unleashed
"Pointless act! You don't make a monster story about some kid's imagination bullshit! That's inappropriate! That's inexcusable! That I don't forgive!"
Morrison started it. Whedon was just the one-two punch the cemented it.
And it was awesome.
Cyclops is cool because he's a loser. He cheats on his wife and constantly fucks everything up, but he gets it done. He fucks up and fucks up and fucks up and keeps going and wears that shit like a badge because someone has to lead, and he's the best damn leader there is. That panel you posted, and Morrison's run in general, is a good example of Cyclops done right; he's ruthlessly devoted to the mission, and a complete fuck up in everything else.
He is not Batman with eye lasers. He's not a mass murderer. He's not this utterly morally depraved asshole who still has everyone lining up to lick his boots. Whedon, and then following writers, undid everything that made Cyclops good so he could be Just Another Badass.
It is weird to me that people praise Cyclops without bringing up the actual best Cyclops moment of all time, the Proteus Saga. Wherein Wolverine goes through a massively traumatic incident and Cyclops splashes coffee in his face and tells him to stop being a little diaper baby, and then beats up the entire team single handed.

Best "first issue" in comics history.
So this is the book that they had took Riley Rossmo off of SS for. I had wondered why JRJR arc was extended and the editor said Rossmo was caught up in another DC project.

I pre-ordered them before they did it and now have an extra month before I have to switch some books to trade waiting. Yay?

Oh man I live and breathe for Aikku and Toni being attached at the hip anytime they're around each other:
When you're right, you're right.

Monsters Unleashed is one underwhelming comic book. Barebones story (that is supremely stupid), dull action sequences that all look the same (and are unpleasant to read on a tablet), utterly forgettable monsters. Lazy and uninspired, particularly its garbage ending, I cannot recommend it to anyone. I might just nope outta this whole business after this issue.
Not a single memorable panel in an oversized comic book where super heroes fight giant monsters. Some kind of feat right there.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean
Because people said that both book are the same even while they always sounded completly different
You know? Monster Unleashed and Night of the Monster Men. It shares the term monster.

As someone who enjoyed one and finds the other to be a complete choke job from panel 1, I'd say they definitely are.

So which is failing to live up to the "monster crossover events announceced around the same time" standard?

Maybe. But the thing about minis, especially sub-six issue minis is that they really make me want to trade wait. I mean, fuck $3.99 per issue if the ride is going to be over in a few months anyway. No reason to read it piecemeal.

Apparently the Kamandi Challenge is pretty good this week. From twitter it sounds like the best #1 of the week.
Doing the "final" hunt soon in FFXV. Love big rock turtles.
we think the same, but I couldn't help but cave on Luke cage. it is so good.

Sounds like out of date info. I didn't see it on comiclist at all over the weekend for this week

Yup but I just checked Pulllist and #4 is still scheduled for Feb with no #3 anywhere
isn't that just a reprint this week of the first #1 from way back?
edit: yea looks like a special reprint. The real one is next week.
ah gotcha.

This was the Kamandi challenge special that publishes the last two issues from the original series that were never put out originally. I'm sure Kirby Kompletionists are thrilled to have it.

Reviewers must've gotten them then. Saw some talking about it but with no links. They did provide links to The Ray's Rebirth issue now that I think about it. That's out now, right?
Yeah, that must've been nice for them.
Meh, but was expected. Will stay with the Spider-Man Tie-Ins then, the "Event" wont be collected in a fitting format anyway.

The Ray isn't out yet
I'm perched here waiting for it. Watching. Like a gargoyle
Edit: I'm wrong, it's out, I get an F for gargoyling
I hope Ray is gay in the new continuity, like he is in the cartoon.
As happy as I am that Toni and Pod are actively together, it is disappointing that USAvengers got rid of Wiccan and Hulkling.

Yup. It's crazy how good Marvel can be when they get it right.
The Ray oneshot
Great Introduction to a character. I felt bad for his childhood like damn. Art was fucking amazing, and made his powers look crazy. One thing that confused me about this is how exactly does his
. Otherwise great start. I have vixen sitting here so I might as well read that now and get it over with. I have no intentions to read the atom because of the impressions here.
edit: no wonder I liked it. Orlando was writing and Byrne was on the art <3.

Re: your spoiler
Using his powers to bend light and remove the visible spectrum. He's invisible but not incorporeal
Fuck yes.
Ended up checking it out and it's fucking spectacular. Dude is queer through and through; no shy underplay, no hints; he's gay and he's open about it. That makes me so goddamn happy.
