I’ll be honest, I’m such a fan of Bachalo’s work, it’s going to be hard for others to win on weeks when a book he’s penciling comes out.  This week is no exception.  Though I didn’t love X-Men #8, I still crazy love some of Chris Bachalo’s really excellent exaggerated cartooning work, it’s so expressive and fun and layered and full of detail.  Plus look at Wolverine’s tiny mean head?! Awesome!
