Comics often feature huge fights with superheroes against supervillains. Sometimes we even have superheroes fighting other superheroes. Get ready to cheer and possibly cringe at the brutal punches being thrown in this week's selection of best battles.
There will be some spoilers below!
JAMES BOND #3
(By Warren Ellis, Jason Masters, and Guy Major)
The action is cranked up in the third issue of JAMES BOND. James goes after a dangerous crime gang all on his own. Tracking them down to a warehouse, he begins to take them out with his signature style.
Unfortunately the only way for James to move on in through the door the men just entered through. With one of the bodies slumped against it, James tries opening the door just as more men start coming from another direction.
James moves on and keeps taking out the bad guys.
James then moves up onto the shelves. This allows him to kick some of the boxes onto the men below as a distraction. While they are distracted, he can then easily take them out.
He continues to wipe out the rest of the men.
This isn't even the entire battle. You owe it to yourself to pick up the issue and add this series to your pull list.
DRAX #2
(By CM Punk, Cullen Bunn, Scott Hepburn, and Matt Milla)
When Drax the Destroyer isn't on missions with the Guardians of the Galaxy, he's out hunting for Thanos. When he's not hunting Thanos, he sometimes ends up in a bar. In this particular bar in the middle of nowhere, he runs into Terrax, a former herald of Galactus.
You would think that means these two are going to fight. Terrax has recently decided not to fight unless it was something worth fighting for. Needing some repairs for his ship, Drax overhears some young aliens getting abducted by an alien gang. Drax decides to do the right thing.
Drax is tough as hell but he's completely outnumbered and surrounded. Luckily for him, he has someone else willing to fight by his side.
With Terrax fighting, even if he's been drinking, the odds are a little more even. It almost looks like the two are having fun.
It does look like fighting these guys is simple for these guys. Unfortunately another gang member gets the drop on them with a really big gun. Just as he demands they both stand down, something unexpected happens.
The alien with a gun explodes thanks to someone. He may be taken care of but the fight's not over yet.
HARLEY QUINN/POWER GIRL #6
(By Justin Gray, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Stephane Roux, Moritat, Elliot Fernandez, Flaviano, and Paul Mounts)
Harley Quinn and Power Girl have been trying to get back home. They've been detoured by Vartox and discover despite his attempt to marry Power Girl, he's already married to an alternate version of her. Power Girl is pretty outraged and disgusted by this and the fact that he has a load of kids. Punching him through a house yields an interesting reaction from Vartox's 'wife.'
Power Girl tries reasoning about how sexist Vartox is and points out she doesn't even want him. She just wants the teleportation ring so they can get back home. Vartox's wife doesn't care.
After punching Power Girl again, she turns her attention to Harley.
Even when Vartox tries protecting Harley, his wife still doesn't care.
She closes in on Harley but let's not forget Power Girl is still around somewhere. She'll make her way back and the fight will continue. Read the issue to find out how this fight ends.
