Buffy #17

Hi Buffy fans. Let's talk.

So, as some of you correctly gathered from my response last time a Whedon book won, we were a little surprised. It was a quick, (but funny), dig on Charmed, but really, was it that impressive? Maybe, maybe not. However, we forgot how fandom works at times. We love everyone enjoying the site and getting more page hits, but remember, the other books may not have such a rabid fanbase. People apparently got hate mail over this.

The nominations for Moment of the Week are all submitted either by myself or by the other Pink Kryptonite writers. So they are influenced by our personal opinions, and a lot of us are Whedon fans because he has been so inclusive of gays in his projects. However, now that we've realized how organized other Whedonites can be, we've decided to only include a Whedon 'moment' if it's pretty intense. Something mind-blowing.

That said, here's the probable winner this week, if last time was anything to go by.

Oh Shi-... and Xander nowhere in sight to talk her down.

Do your worst Buffy fans, but no more hate mail, k? :)

The Boys #21

So imagine yourself as a little kid, on one of the 9/11 flights, only in this world, there's a team of superheroes flying next to the plane to stop the terrorists. Not so much because they care, but because it would get military contracts to the people who know how to create superhumans. If you were this little kid, sitting next to the emergency exit, staring with awe out the porthole...

...is probably the worst possible place to be. Not that the other people on that plane are going to have a better day.

Secret Invasion: Front Line #2

Front Line is a comic that prides itself on showing the human side of these giant super-powered crisis moments in the Marvel Universe. How real people have to deal with it. And you know what?

Sometimes the only human reaction is to get the hell out of there.

Invincible Iron Man #4

This is much less depressing. In Invincible Iron Man, Pepper Potts gets hurt, and Tony designs a chest 'glowy thing' to help save her, keep her alive. But Pepper doesn't want it, because Tony's technology is still based on weapons, no matter what he uses it for, and she won't be anyone's bomb. Luckily for her (as he reveals) it was actually based on Rand Corp technology and isn't a bomb, just a battery. Pepper is relieved, and then Tony shows her how to use it.

Tony you're so sappy at times.

The Authority: World's End #1

I mentioned a very touching and sad moment in The Authority last week, and here it is. Shen flys up and calls down Apollo to help Midnighter deal with a couple super-powered, infectious hulks, and we get this.

I think I'm going to cry.
