This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by a horse's advice on playing bridge, and our brand new Kirby-cracklefied logo. Word. Magnificent mathiness this week in Echo, musical mirth in Deadpool Team-Up and marvelous magic in Strange and Black Widow & The Marvel Girls. New star fave Kieron Gillen takes over Thor, and Fantastic Mr. Fox gets tremendous mileage out of a fist pump.

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by Meat Twister, left hand pork cutlet, right hand tripe! We leave the Watchmen jibber jabber for a separate bonus show, and celebrate the fact that while a mixed bag, none of this week's comics screamed for Crap of the Week. Watery books like Submariner: the Depths and Spider-Man Human Torch: Bahia de los Muertos float to the top, as does Abnett and Lanning's start on War of Kings, which breaks Aaron and Evie's hearts on behalf of Ronan the sad, sad Accuser.

Panel of the Week

Aaron and Evie's pick, from War of Kings #1 by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Paul Pelletier:

Final Crisis 3
Feels like that one time in math
When you were real high

Echo is lucky
Who doesn't want a brassiere
That smites enemies

Mary Jane Watson
Eats EZ Cheez for dinner
And loves Spidey Kong

That Patsy Walker
Hangs with Inuit witches
And can drive standard

Robin, Boy Wonder
Is a better detective
Than Grant Morrison

While Cable escapes
Cyclops has an angsty fest
And gets some boobies
