You just plopped down twenty (or more) of your hard earned dollars for this week&#8217;s crop of comics. You open up this month&#8217;s latest issue of your favorite monthly. When all of the sudden&#8230; WTF?!  That&#8217;s right, something happens to make you lose your $#!t. Whether it be a new costume that&#8217;s really an alien or the resurrection of a long dead character, comic books have a long history of turning convention on its ear. Sometimes these moments are great; sometimes, not so much. No matter what the results are, the reaction remains the same. What. The. F*ck?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Great idea for an article!\u00a0 This is a really fun list.\u00a0 Just a few good ones to watch for include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>43.
