Meaningless Awards of the Week- 5/23/07
Hell Yeah! of the Week- She-Hulk explains to Tony Stark why he’s an asshole, She-Hulk #18
Iron Man is the biggest dick in the Marvel Universe. But for some reason, Marvel editorial still treats him as if he’s a hero. Finally someone has taken the time to rip Tony Stark a new one in a Marvel comic, by a character that was an ally of his during Civil War. She-Hulk wirter Dan Slott was able to put in words exactly why Iron man deserved all those “Villain of the Year” awards he took home in 2006. Strangely, “you sound like Dr. Doom” seems to be a pretty popular insult this week.
Cliffhanger of the Week- Captain America #26
Surprise of the Week- the return of Black Adam, Countdown #49
Obviously DC can still keep a secret. Makes you wonder why they blabbed about the multiverse still existing…
Fight of the Week- Birds of Prey vs. the Secret Six, Birds of Prey #106
Huntress vs. Catman
Big Barda vs. Knockout
Manhunter vs. Ragdoll
Spy Smasher vs. Deadshot
Hawkgirl vs. Vandal
But all of those pale in comparison to the battle of a lifetime that was…
Misfit vs. Harley Quinn!
Can you call it a comeback when Black Adam was gone for a month, maybe two? I’m going to have to side with Mr. DeLouise on this one and say no.
Bucky can’t kill Tony Stark because he’s already dead in Mighty Avengers! DUH! Oh unless maybe he’ll go over to New Avengers, because he’s alive there. Or Iron Man.
Hold the phone! Maybe there are clone Tony Starks, which would explain everything…
She Hulk was great. Iron Man gets his ass kicked and then his big come back is stabbing her with a needle… who knew Stark knew crack whore tactics?
Oh, BTW does it annoy anyone else that two comics (Hulk #105 and WWH Prolouge) both ruined She Hulk #18?
I’m guessing its delays but still… it annoyed me when I first read those issues.
I imagine it would’ve, if I read She-Hulk. And I think it was delays. Read that somewhere.
Man, I’m very happy that I had to skip that Book of Doom and WWH all together. She-Hulk’s one of my favorite reads and I’d hate for it to be spoiled by the next Mega Marvel Crossover.
