THIS WEEK IN AWESOME # 3

Welcome again Ladies & Gentlemen to THIS WEEK IN AWESOME!!!

For this edition . . . we got our staffers and a little more this week.

CBC's Hector Ramirez 


My awesome moment this week comes from Daredevil #8. Daredevil is tracking down a powerful hologram generator and when he finds it the thieves attempt to use it against him by filling the room with holographic villains stating “you can’t catch what you can’t see” Daredevil merely smiles and the next panel shows the too men in a slump on the floor.







J1 Studios' Brian Misher

My favorite moment is in Rosario+Vampire Season II vol.6 & 7. In vol. 6, Moka Akashia had Tsukune remove the rosario from her neck for a full day, allowing her true vampire self to experience school life first hand. Unfortunately, this causes to seal to weaken and Inner Moka can't be sealed away again.

I like this moment because it thrusts the normally stoic Inner Moka into a situation that has become almost become alien to her. Her friends get to see her in a different light than what they're used to. Usually Inner Moka has a rough exterior and chilling demeanor, and is often times very frightening. As vol. 6 progressed, Inner Moka begins to display "girly" qualities such as particpating in sports, art, and joining cooking class where she receives some harsh criticism and reacts accordingly--feeling depressed. In the end, Inner Moka smiles almost just as bright as her cheery counterpart when Tsukune approves of a pie she made despite its burnt appearance. I really like this part because Inner Moka shows extreme concern for Tsukune when he nearly chokes on the first piece when normally she just pay him no mind.

Vol. 7 furthers upon this as Inner Moka, while on a plane bound for China with her friends, wonders about her feelings toward Tsukune. This may be due to the fact that when Tsukune sees her without her shirt, Moka, rather than kicking him, simply covers his eyes.

My epic moment of the week also comes from the pages of Barry Allen in the Flash #3. The Flash can vibrate his molecules at a certain frequency to become intangible. In other words he can phase through objects a la Shadowcat. Sure. The Flash can hold grasp something living or otherwise, accelerate its molecules to a particular frequency and render it intangible as well? Sure, sure. But a whole passenger plane equipped with people and luggage? Through a BRIDGE...? Impressive Barry... impressive. But wait there's more... All this is only after Barry finds out he can tap into the Speed Force... with his brain...

As much as I bad mouth Jim Lee nowadays...in his hey day. X-men issue 275. The X-Men most in their School Uniforms Vs. The Imperial Guard. All the looks had been updated and the battle (esp. the two page splash page) was great! Darn...I miss a kinetic Jim Lee.



Gerald Williams of Hampstead, NY


The awesome moment that I always remember is the Universo Project from Legion of Super-Heroes vol 3, #32-35. Universo had taken control of the entire universe but he exiled Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Brainiac 5 and Chameleon Boy on a planet with other heroes (non-legionnaires) who he considered a danger to him. They escaped and in #35 Saturn Girl took on Universo alone but he had Mon-El and Ultra Boy there as bodyguards. She reached into their minds, broke his hold on them and dropped in 2 seconds. Then made light work of Universo. It is still my favorite LSH story after all these years.
