Moment Of The Week #11
Well, the winner last week was a rather passionate kiss between Obsidian and his boyfriend. Marking the third week in a row for a gay-friendly moment and the second win in a row for DC.
This week we look at Captain Britain and M13, Uncanny X-Men, Punisher, Iron Man: Director of Shield, and All-Star Superman.
So join me after the jump, and be warned. Spoilers lie beyond. So if you still have to pick up any of these books, don't read ahead because it'll ruin the surprise!
Captain Britain and M13 #5
M13 team member Spitfire has had a storied past, and has been bitten by a vampire. She also lost her husband to one. Recently she has discovered she has a few vampiric traits, although no blood lust.
This is apparently not good enough for Blade.
Uncanny X-men #502
The X-Men have captured one of the Hellfire Club goons, and want to know from him where they are getting psionically shielded masks. He doesn't want to talk, but the X-Men know a very good acupuncturist and a psychic who knows this thugs afraid of needles.
Note to self: Cyclops is scary.
Punisher (Max) #62
Frank has been tracking down a cartel of kidnappers/meth lab operators in Mexico. After working his way up the food chain, he finds out the front business where it all runs through, and sets off to make things right in his own, violent way. He hears a noise behind an old mirror and shoots.
Only to discover he's killed a child. Oh Frank...
All-Star Superman #12
The story ends. This amazing run goes out with a bang, leading interestingly to a tie-in to DC One-Million. But first, we see the penultimate victory of Superman. Out-smarting Lex Luthor, even when he has Superman's own powers.
Next line: Brains beats brawn every time! *Punch*
Iron Man: Director of SHIELD #33
So it turns out that when Stark-tech got built into a lot of things, Tony did some thinking, and made some backup plans, just in case. He made sure War Machine had some firepower to deal with any problems that could arise, if someone compromised Starktech. A satellite, with rather interesting transformative properties.
It's Brought!

I didn't even read this, but that one page of Punisher was very moving. I'll have to go out and buy it now.
Obsidian. Between Obsidian and his boyfriend.
You're right Tony.
Sadly, this is NOT the first time I've made that mix up :(
