It’s a Secret Avengers kinda week around 1979 Semi-Finalist this week, what can I say?!
The following are panels I just could not decide between from Warren Ellis and Jamie McKelvie’s wonderful Secret Avengers #16:

So it’s not TECHNICALLY a flying car, but it’s still 100% badass. I want Jamie McKelvie to draw like 82% of my comics.
Jamie McKelvie’s Secret Avengers #16:

“In my perfect world, all superhero comics are like “Secret Avengers” #16. Well, they don’t all have to have time travel, these specific Avengers or many other things this issue includes, but they should all use this book as a blueprint for smart, funny, well-constructed, beautiful, modern and fun comics.
Warren Ellis and Jamie McKelvie take over “Secret Avengers” with issue #16 for a standalone story and in a single stroke make it a book to be absolutely reckoned with. In this issue, a handful of Avengers are investigating a secret city built more than a mile under Cincinnati and the results are action-packed, hilarious, creative and smart. Too smart for me, in fact, but that’s usually the case with anything relating to time travel, so I won’t hold it against Ellis, or this book…”

“I’ve never understood the idea of a “house style” for a comic book company, because there’s nothing more refreshing as a comic reader than opening up a brilliantly drawn book that looks new and exciting instead of like the same thing you’ve seen a million times before. Such is the case with David Lafuente’s take on the New Mutants in this book..”

“It can be hard with event books to toe dip in to just part of an event without feeling entirely lost, but “Spider Island: Spider-Girl” works well on its own while still tying nicely into the larger picture of the Spider Island Event…”

“Fallout from Mike Carey’s Age of X event continues to be the primary conflict both physically and emotionally in “X-Men Legacy” as the team fights the two remaining Legion personalities still loose and causing havoc, Styx and Endgame. It’s a nice change of pace considering that too frequently when an “event” ends, we’re given a quick exit and little to no ramifications post “event.” Sometimes, of course, that’s a welcome respite from an event we didn’t like or were tired of in the first place. In the case of Age of X, though, some very interesting threads were left hanging and now Carey is doing an admirable job of dealing with them…”

“This is exactly the kind of comic I feel like we need more of. It’s pretty kid friendly and appealing, with strong young protagonists, good solid friendships, and I suspect, eventually, some nice messages. I’m not sure how engaging it is for an adult audience on the whole at this point, but not every comic should be for every person, or we’d have tepid stories indeed. Variety, she’s the spice of life, kids!…”

“I was pretty disappointed when Marjorie Liu had to leave “Black Widow” for “X-23,” because I was loving the feel of Daniel Acuna and Liu’s take on Natasha. To make matters worse, I wasn’t wild about “X-23”. I tried the first arc, but had dropped it before we even got to the end. Liu’s writing was strong overall, but inconsistent art that frequently wasn’t to my tastes kept me from coming back, so instead I sulked about missing “Black Widow.” “X-23” #13 is a whole other story, and one that has me saying “Black Widow who?…”
