Well, make that PAGE of the week. And if you think I’m having trouble editing myself, know that I could have easily scanned pretty much the entire issue of Marvel’s Strange Tales II #3 and put it up for contention. Great, great issue. Kate Beaton knocked it out of the park (twice!) in her funny pieces, and everyone else brought their A game as well…but I couldn’t resist this page from Eduardo Medeiros’ piece (with an assist by Judy Leheup). I tip my hat to you sir…awesome stuff.

Easy win this week for Marvel’s Strange Tales II #3. A bunch of hilarious giant headed Ivan Brunetti superheroes at the gym (and Spider-Man playing raquetball!) who can beat that? Nobody, that’s who!

That’s right, for my 20 Favorite Female Comics Creators of 2010, part one post, Jezebel has reprinted the article. Woo!
Part two will be up on Jezebel next Monday (as well as on CSBG via my She Has No Head! column, as usual at noon eastern).
So check it out everyone…as I’m such a huge fan of Jezebel this is very cool…in fact I’m trying not to squee myself out of my chair.
And thanks for the opportunity Jezebel!
This is, yet again, a bit of a cheat as it’s actually four panels…but in order to get the joke/feel I think you need them all. This is from Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen’s New Avengers #7, which was filled with hilarious bits this week, including this excerpt which is about the Avengers talking about getting a paycheck and specifically Spider-Man realizing he can’t get one because he’s the only one that still has a secret identity and that the government can’t issue him a check. I DO love Bendis’ Spider-Man…it always makes me think I should actually be reading Spider-Man. Look at that gorgeous Stuart Immonen art…so fucking good!

Easy win for me this week to give it to Brian Wood’s Northlanders #35 illustrated by Massimo Carnevale. Haunting and beautiful. Love all the white.

…And it’s not in English! Go figure!
The delightful Mariamma Fonseca at Lady’s Comics in Brazil got in touch with me after discovering The Ladies Comics Project, and the following interview at the Lady’s Comics site is the result of our conversation. For the English speaking only among you – do not fear! – my original English answers are there along with the Portuguese translations.
The concept behind Lady’s Comics is simple, and quite in line with both The Ladies Comics Project and what I do on She Has No Head! – check this out – from the Lady’s Comics Site (apologies for the rough translation in spots):
“The idea is simple: to speak to women who work or worked in the comic book universe. We came to talk about the characters, the authors, the designers and what’s new from Lady’s in comics!”
It was wonderful to meet some great ladies, on a similar quest to mine, and halfway around the world. Good luck to you ladies – and thanks for the interview!

Me: Hey comics?
Comics: Yeah?
Me: Skottie Young wiped the floor with you all this week.

Comics: Oh.
Me: Yeah.
So yeah…the winner…in a massive TKO…no fucking contest…Skottie Young’s perfect Ozma of Oz #2 cover:

Some good stuff this week, but much like cover of the week…nobody could compete with J.H. Williams and Amy Reeder on Batwoman #0. That said, because of the way it was structured and drawn, it was almost impossible to pick a single panel…so you’re getting a whole page. Enjoy!
Also, check out my review of Batwoman #0 on She Has No Head – as well as our discussion of Batwoman #0 on our second episode of 3 Chicks Review Comics, which goes up today at 2pm on Comics Should Be Good.

There were some really nice covers this week including Travel Foreman’s Black Widow #8, the lovely (and bittersweet) final cover to Madame Xanadu #29 by Mark Buckingham, and Jock’s very cool Detective Comics #871, but nobody could hang with J.H. Williams III and my girl Batwoman for Batwoman #0. Bathe in the awesomeness:
Happy Thanksgiving to those Americans that celebrate it. I mostly celebrate having two days off…which at this point in my life is a massive luxury.
