A Break From The Hunt

While Adorable Baby Panda is in hot pursuit of Hideous Baby Penguin, I was able to steal a few minutes for our standard discussion of the week's comics.

Applause: Mad Dog. Yes, he's a loudmouth, publicity-seeking gloryhound, but he's catching crooks, and that's a good thing, and ABP found him entertaining. {Whatever you say, ABP. I think it's the stress of the impending penguin battle coming up}.

Hug: Gene Thompson. ABP feels I've been too hard on poor Gene, and says Gene's only crime is wanting to spend time with a girlfriend that has other priorities. {I've seen this before. When they're about to battle a penguin, pandas start to lose their grip on reality}.

Applause: Detective Drasco, for disobeying the Hobgoblin's orders and helping Spider-Girl out during the end-of-issue fight. {Still, it's probably not a wise idea to cross the Hobgoblin. This might be one of those Hobby takes into his own hands}.

Applause: Pete Wisdom. The interrogation technique of using those plasma knives on the enemie's face was noticed with some interest by ABP. {Though I'm pretty sure pandas can't generate plasma knives. I think}. Also, Wisdom laying down the law to the rest of the team, reminding them Excalibur is government-sponsored, and he represents the government, so if he wants Juggernaut on the team, then Juggernaut stays.

Adorable Baby Panda almost grabbed The Punisher out of my hands, demanding to read it. Yikes. I hope ABP finds that penguin soon, this "Angry Baby Panda" stuff is kinda freaky.

Could you suggest some more joyous people to receive applause and hugs, perhaps mellow the little dear out?

Another hug for Blade, who wouldn't turn Wolverine over to Maria Hill.

A hug for Jack Flag, who emerged from comic-book limbo to provide a convenient target for the new Thunderbolts.

Finally, a hug for Songbird, who was demoted by that mean Norman Osborne (that guy should really should be dead)and looked pretty unhappy shackled into a chair.

Yep, I read the Warren Ellis Thunderbolts. It was surprisingly good.

A hug to Buddy Baker's family...they killed him off in 52. *sniff* He would have especially liked an adorable baby panda.

fortress: Bravo to Blade (though i question marvel letting Civil War bleed into that book).

It seems kind of lousy to reemerge only to be hunted by psychopaths, so hugs for Mr. Flag.

And ABP hates Norman Osborn, so hugs for Songbird. Norman Osborn is in charge? How the hell does that happen? *shakes head*

sallyp: Agreed. Would have liked Buddy to go out with more of a proverbial bang though.
