Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows continue to freak the reader out with the slowed down mundanity of horror and the way it is perceived in Providence #4. Or not. And letting the reader work out exactly what is going on before the protagonists so we scream "No! Don't go into the shed!" before we even see the shed…

Booster Gold gets revamped by Bat-Mite. This is one of those meat-and-potatoes moves, isn't it?
I believe they were born ready. Jem & The Holograms #6
From Jupiter's Circle, looks like someone might have read Go Tell A Watchman long before the rest of us…If you can't see them, they can't see you. Always works. The Transformers from More Than Meets The Eye #44 should give it a go.
As long as they don't transform into flammable Sherman tanks. From War Stories #12…
Tini Howard and Philip Sevy's Poseidon IX #1 comes from Image/Top Cow wherein a bunch of shirtless cyborg men wage oceanic war against a giant sea monster. Poseidon, as you can see, is a little sassy – but that sort of comes with the territory when you're a narcissistic robot-god surrounded by worshippers and clone-slaves. A bit like Kevin Feige….
In Tales Of Honor: Bred To Kill #2 from Matt Hawkins and Linda Sejic – Commander Honor Harrington and her two best crewmen prove that even in the far-flung future, casino tropes haven't changed much.

A dink, Cluster #7? Everyone but Image is just pussy-footing around language today.

Though the kids are all right in Plutona. Time for a superhero version of Stand By Me…
Of course, this guy could be saying anything in The Woods #16 and we just wouldn't know…
She's not a lunch lady, she's a Terminator. Oh wait, no, that was the actress from a different Joss Whedon show. Angel & Faith goes to school..
Toil and Trouble #1 (of 6) has Mairghread Scott's first creator-owned project reimagining Macbeth as told from the witches' point of view. It's always thunder, lightning and rain with that lot.
