Weekend Wrap-up

Things that made me happy this week:

Jack gives Hydra a Wet Willie.


J.H. Williams, with an easy throw-away detail of him eating, draws one of the best Jonah Hex character moments I've seen in a while. I mean.. Euggh!


Mr. Popular drew this. Total awesomeness a Go-Go!


I bought a Giant-Size Jimmy Olsen in which this actually happens for only a buck. And it's not the craziest thing that happens in it. Not by a long shot.

vs.
Season 2, Bout 4 tomorrow night! The Roller Girl's very own Devil's Darlings vs. those doomed-before-it-starts B-Town Battalion!

Oh .. and we're expecting several inches of snow tonight. Contrary to popular belief, it really doesn't snow much here in Boise. Surrounding area? Yeah. In the city proper? Not so much. So.. looking forward to that.

(It's actually quite funny early in the morning when I let the dogs out to do their business after a nightly snowfall.. they run full tilt outside, then stop suddenly in the middle of the yard, look around confused then back at me with an expression like, "Did YOU do this?!?")

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

By the way... The devil girl in the Darling's logo? Yeah, that's Bettie.

Pack Smash!

So, I picked up a copy of the digest version of Marvel Adventures: Hulk / Powerpack on the cheap (read: free) the other day at my LCS's anniversary sale. And, while it's no Marvel Adventures: Anything Written by Jeff Parker, it's a pretty fun li'l read. It'll make a great stocking stuffer for when the Roller Girl's li'l monster comes to visit. Why, parts of it are gosh-darn adorable....

For 'zample:

Jack outsmarts Dr. Banner!


GIVE HULK CANDY!


Katie-Hulk!

Ahem... KATIE-HULK!!!


A story title joke SOMEONE should've done before.
(man, that's funny. Or, it's just me.)

But, to my mind, all of this goodness pales in comparison to the book's climatic battle between the Hulk and the Avengers! The big buildup leading to the colossal smackdown! The absolute battle royale that, even though we've seen it a hundred times before, always kicks us square in the gamma-fueled gonads of justice!

(Hey! I just channeled the Tick! Spoon!)

Ready?

That's freggin' awesome, right there! Part of me wishes it could go on for several panels.

Oh, what the heck...



*Sigh* That's good stuff!
