THIS WEEK IN AWESOME # 8

Another week ends with CBC's picks for Moments of Awesome this week.


Darryll Carter

I'm gonna go with the latest issues of  The Flash. That two page spread of him rushing to get to Patty was epic as sh**. It made me hold my breath. I could hear the speed force steaming off of him as he reached out for her.



Hector Ramirez

It comes from Ghostbusters; when Venkman is possessed by a ghost that feeds on negative emotions. The ghost tries to use psychology against him. Having a doctorates in psychology, Venkman turns the tables on the ghost; frustrating him enough so he leaves his body. This ends up giving the other three the chance to trap him.


Frankie Rodriguez 

 My epic moment comes from an old skool book. New Warriors #57, the aftermath of the Warriors first match with the Undertow and Nova (Rich Rider) is feeling guilty and frustrated. So much so that he holds Night Thrasher (the original) by the neck from a top of the building, much like Night Thrasher did in New Warriors # 1, Volume 1. Funny thing, this begins a split between the Warriors and Justice taking over as leader but it gets better ... Namor stops by and pretty much blames the Warriors as Namorita was kidnapped by Undertow. And Namor hits Nova. So the Warriors beat him up with Turbo ... who at the time was a rookie with her armor ... giving the blow that actually takes down Namor. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!



Don't forget, CBC's own was a guest in this week's Ikaricast over in Reviewtopia, where they discuss the newest Sentai (aka Power Rangers here in the States is the easiest explanation), Go Buster.
