Lots of fun stuff this week, we loved some stuff and hated some stuff…what a shock!

I had a lot of pretty good books this week, and some fun covers, but none of them came even close to usurping the crown from Ryan Kelly’s cover for Brian Wood’s The New York Five #2.  Just gorgeous, beautiful stuff.  In my dreams more comic covers look like this every week.

Head on over to Comics Should Be Good for the final installment of Ladies Comics Project Phase II and some thoughts about what I learned.

Panel of the Week this week goes subtle (if you can call anything about Emma Frost – or the way Kaare Andrews draws her, subtle) with a panel from Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #5 by Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews.

There wasn’t much that wowed me this week, but I love it when Emma is all grouchy and pretends that being a hero (and an X-Man) doesn’t agree with her, add to that Kaare Andrews crazy fun rendering of her – look at those crazy awesome hips and insane hair! – and we’ve got total win here.  So fun.

These Esad Ribic Uncanny X-Force covers continue to impress me.  The kind of stiff, slick style is usually not my thing, but how Ribic stages the composition gives them this fantastic movement…they feel full of movement and that we’re just getting a look at a split second of it all on pause.  I really like them…this one is so flawless and elegant it almost looks like dancing…like ballet…which I guess has more in common with great choreographed action than we probably give it credit for.

I’m not sure why only one character is an actual X-character…but I don’t really care.  When you’re cool, you’re cool.

Lots of fun stuff this week.  Also, someone says “Fuckety fuck fuck, what the fuck!?” And shock of all shocks…it’s not me!  :)

Last one…and of course it’s Bats and Cats.

There are a million good Bruce & Selina images out there but these are both recent favorites for me – one in that it was actually recently released, and one that I just recently discovered. Both are awesome.

Wonder Woman never gets sexy sexy times.  It sucks.

So here’s some alt Ben Caldwell Wonder Woman gettin’ some love.

This second one seems kind of sad because he looks maybe hurt…or unconscious…or dead.  STILL COUNTS. PLUS THERE IS SEXY RAIN!

Kate and Renee.  Love it.  How can we get these two kids back together?

Just to be clear…some time passes here…quite a bit of time…
