#1 Moment of the Week- Cinematic storytelling
Posted in reviews by Fin Fang Doom
The Hellfire Club has taken over the X-Mansion and taken out the Astonishing X-Men. Cyclops is a drooling vegetable thanks to Emma Frost. Beast has become his namesake and is devouring a freshly killed deer on the front lawn. Colossus was knocked out by Sebastian Shaw. Kitty’s mind has been taken over by the White Queen. Wolverine was brainwashed into thinking he’s his nancy boy pre-Origin younger self by Cassandra Nova, and now lays unconscious in front of the refrigerator due to the arrival of Ord and Danger. But there’s one thing no one was prepared for: the power of beer.
Rack focus in a comic book. And the best characterization of Wolverine ever. ‘Nuff said.
When I saw you were doing this, I thought, “If I was picking my best moments, it would be Wolverine coming out of his funk.”
Joss Whedon knows how to write without dialogue. He also knew the perfect time to give up the “Wolverine as a sissy” bit that had been so hilarious. I cannot wait to see the Cannuck tear up all kinds of ass next issue.
Heck, even my wife thought this was cool. Great choice.
Abone, lemme borrow Astonishing. i wanna read it.
I refer to this scene as the moment where Logan realizes his destiny as the Popeye of the 21st Century.
good call.
