That's pretty great, although the Emperor's poo poo-eating grin, coupled with the fully serious line "Get me Vilmarh Grahrk" kinda reminds you that yes, this is Star Wars comics, with all associated problems. ...took me four checks to be sure I had that spelled right.

Did he jab his lightsaber into something explosive there at the end or something? Just goes from that to him being dead apparently. Kinda anti-climactic without at least a distant shot of an explosion or something tho I guess it makes more sense/is more badass in context. Or is he actually just talking to them to delay them and then...hiding his lightsaber or something? He was all talking about not taking life unless you have to, so maybe a Jedi wouldn't pull that explosive finish. vvvvvv haha, I was thinking the same thing, like, drat what kind of master dies against some lizard men.

It's all undercut by the fact that the rest of them, except Obi Wan, died like chumps.

So this old Norse guy (living in the Savage Land) tricks Thor into battle hoping he could die a warrior and go to Valhalla. Thor doesn't kill him, but makes him a shield bearer against a dragon, giving the old guy a chance at glory. They get smacked around a bit and then:      Somewhere early on in Simonson's Thor run.

That's one of the few comics I own and man is it fantastic. The old dude gets granted youth and Valhalla's finest steed and when he gets whacked he loses both. The whole issue he's moaning about how useless he is in old age but instead of getting down on losing his new found youth he manages to pierce a dragon that even Thor's hammer wasn't affecting.Travis343 posted:I love every single sound effect in Simonson's Thor The KATHOOM in the last panel is so good.

I always like the Wolverine vs Hulk throw downs. In Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk he literally is torn in two. If I recall the series started with Logan coming to already having his legs and pelvis ripped off and thrown up a mountain (the legs).

They get smacked around a bit and then: This is a small detail but notice how Odin's robes are this kind of strange powder/sky blue color? It might seem like a trippy old school comixxx color palette thing, but that's actually exactly how they are described in The Story of Sigurd and the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs (maybe other older sources, I was just reading that recently). Thought that was cool  !

This is amazing, especially the last page has the kind of perspective that shows Hulk as "the walking earthquake" and makes you believe it. Awesome stuff!

I know that Hulk is allowed to have exaggerated anatomy, but I'm really distracted by his huge Captain America-style boobs.

Actually, physically stimulating the area can cause men to grow more there. to the point that some soldiers which pound their chests with their rifles as they march end up having breast-reduction surgery. So just imagine the Hulk pounding his chest like Tarzan a few hundred times a day, and suddenly...

Anybody got those panels where John Constantine talks a serial killer into killing himself. It's from Azzarello's run, not certain on the issue but the trade is called Frozen Over.

No, but there's this bit from the Ellis/Higgens Hellblazer story "Haunted". The first line on the second page is a fantastic Constantine moment. The guy with the white hair who's cuffed to a chair is an Aleister Crowley wannabe who tortured and murdered one of John's old exes as part of a "scarlet woman" ritual.

Speaking of which, here's a great Punisher page:  Go get'em Frank.  Source is Ennis' Punisher MAX. Actually, that story had another of my favorites: Nice nice nice(she's a human trafficker, I can't emphasise enough how much that's not even a fraction of what she deserves). That arc's ending was still loving soul crushing.
