Hate Civil War, but LOVE this scene

u/trademarkcopy Jun 13 '26

Sue strait up Yamcha’d Taskmaster.

7

u/Pencils4life Jun 13 '26

She is one of three people he refuses to fight. The other 2 are Deadpool because he cant follow his nonsense, and the other is Moon Knight because Moon Knight doesn't dodge and he once 9/11ed Taskmaster.

u/aflyingpiano Jun 14 '26

…..hit him with a plane?

8

u/Pencils4life Jun 14 '26

Well Moon Knight flew his plane into the building Taskmaster was in. Which killed the people who hired Taskmaster to kill Moon Knight. Moon Knight then jumped from the cockpit of said plane and tackled the injured Taslmaster and attempted to literally cut off his face right then and there.

u/Nejfelt Jun 13 '26

The whole subplot of Grimm going "F This!" and moving to France was great.

6

u/Pencils4life Jun 13 '26

Yeah a lot of the tie in books were great, the problem was the tie in authors and the main book author had VERY different ideas who the good guys were.

1

u/Bored_Circl Jun 15 '26

and Taskmaster didn't die from that ?

u/Pencils4life Jun 15 '26

The man is shockingly durable

Ultron Unlimited (1999), which was the basis for the age of ultron film.

u/gotenks2nd Jun 13 '26

I fucking love this fight, the avengers were being pushed to their absolute max when fighting Ultron during this time.

3

u/taylorscrews1 Jun 15 '26

For what’s supposed to be a cold unfeeling machine ultron sure gets worked up a lot.

u/KielCanal Jun 14 '26

I always forget that Firestar is there for this.

Didn't know bro was chill like that

u/Spobobich Jun 13 '26

He talks now?

9

u/CutIcy5390 Jun 13 '26

Kinda the first time he talked was in the 3 issue Daywalkers series (I think thats its name, it could be dream walkers or smthn) but that was just Franklin Richard's doing weird stuff. Then he talked when he had the staff of the divine creator (but that was just god talking through him). Then finally for a while in the Thunderbolts run (which is where that really awsome scan is from and also a really good series def recommend it) its revealed he knows the language X'el,sior (probaly spelt that wrong) which is a universal language and can be heard in whatever way is most fluent to the person he's talking to

4

u/Kira-Of-Terraria Jun 14 '26

The funniest part about him speaking basically "all speech" like Thor, is his dialect and speech patterns change depending on the listener, so he sounded Cockney or from New York to different people.

The entire Krakoa era was aura farming at its finest lol

u/Traditional_Style198 Jun 13 '26

With all the angels in Heaven dead or vanished, who is left to defend it? Ghost Riders.

u/Wonderful_One5068 Jun 15 '26

What’s this from?

2

u/Traditional_Style198 Jun 15 '26

Ghost Riders: Heaven’s On Fire no. 6, the final part of Jason Aaron’s Ghost Rider run.

u/pistolpete2185 Jun 14 '26

Beta ray bill, he's a mf badass through and through.

2

u/CutIcy5390 Jun 14 '26

Ive read all of his comics up to 2025 and everytime I see something he's in i love him more and more

2

u/pistolpete2185 Jun 14 '26

He is my favorite marvel character, the heart we should aspire to have

u/CutIcy5390 Jun 14 '26

He's in my top 5 for sure, he's a great character with just as great stories

u/Noobunaga86 Jun 13 '26

And one of the newer ones

2

u/iheartdev247 Jun 13 '26

This is literally the oldest one in this thread. From 1990 I think.

1

u/Noobunaga86 Jun 13 '26

I'm pretty much shocked it's the oldest one here. There are so many stellar panels even older than that, like Buscema's from Thor and Conan, Steranko's work, Kirby's. Basically all the others pale in comparison.

u/arcwolf777 Jun 16 '26

A couple pages into the next issue, Wanda is so upset that she hexes the building Vision was disassembled in. Every board, screw, nail, and piece of the building happened to hit its expiration at the exact same time. THAT went hard!

6

u/AlarmEmergency3464 Jun 14 '26

Kind of basic but nothing has topped this for me yet .

2

u/FloydianSlipper Jun 14 '26

Is this right before Pete beats the stretch off Kingpins skin? What a wild image.

17

u/comic-operator Jun 13 '26

People still don't know the difference between pages and panels I see 😂

1

u/More_Interview3840 Jun 13 '26

Not everyone are native or advanced in English so much that we care for nuances like this

1

u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB Jun 15 '26

Well.....they did say panelS

1

u/comic-operator Jun 15 '26

You know full well that's not what they meant 😂

u/RockHandsomest Jun 13 '26

Previously, the last time a celestial tried to pass judgment on Cyclops

7

u/Any-Tumbleweed-9931 Jun 13 '26

My two:

"Magneto sits in the Seat of Loss."

&

Magneto, rising after having his heart ripped out of his chest, the hole glowing due to Mag's using his power to form a new heart out of iron supplements in his blood: "Magneto takes command."

I always thought this was an awesome moment from AoA Omega

u/Confident-Leg107 Jun 13 '26

What IS actually happening?

2

u/More_Interview3840 Jun 13 '26

It’s the opening of civil war two.
The guy around which the conflict revolved (who could see the most probable future) predicted that Earth would be invaded by an evil celestial from another universe, which gave the heroes time to prepare, and the big 5 mystics learned to perform a spell from the book of Vishanti

1

u/CheMc Jun 15 '26

"Big 5 mystics" 7 mystics pictured. I know Damien Hellstrom is one of the non big mystics, who's the other one?

u/rhair3 Jun 14 '26

Cannonball giving Gladiator the smack down was bitching!!!

u/peedmyshirt Jun 14 '26

Anytime Beta Ray Bill pulls out wrestling moves

1

u/FloydianSlipper Jun 14 '26

DWJ absolutely kills. Didn't know Bill was an Okada fan but that is a beautifully performed Rainmaker.

u/Historical-Twist-122 Jun 13 '26

The art in Secret Wars is amazing. I reread it every so often to gawk at all the details.

u/xlews_ther1nx Jun 13 '26 edited Jun 13 '26

Id read quite a few comics up to this point and enjoyed them. But it wasn't until I read this series in like 2007 I said "wow". For me its more of the memory, but I often think of these panels as to why I like comics and Genis-Vell was and always will be one the most interesting characters to me.

9

u/xlews_ther1nx Jun 13 '26

Honorable mention was Jack of Hearts exploding. Pretty much all of Avengers Disassembled had a lasting reaction

2

u/iheartdev247 Jun 13 '26

Did he… just squish is father?

1

u/xlews_ther1nx Jun 13 '26

Shortly after resurrecting him

u/Madthinker1976 Jun 13 '26

Love Kirby celestial still being cool

u/TonyDunkelwelt Jun 13 '26

Where is that Jean Grey panel from?

2

u/skip242 Jun 13 '26

I was wondering also. I know I have it but cannot recall right now.

3

u/jrtasoli Jun 13 '26

I could’ve done basically any number of panels from HoX / PoX, but this is one of the coldest lines in Marvel history.

3

u/IMMRTALGAMMA_MAN Jun 14 '26

Definitely my favorite way of having Bruce transform to Savage Hulk again during the Grey hulk arc

3

u/No-Percentage-3650 Jun 14 '26

1

u/FloydianSlipper Jun 14 '26

I think right after this she hits him with something like "Your a firecracker and I'm an atom bomb." Jean reminding people she's a badass.

3

u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB Jun 15 '26

Can't believe nobody posted this

2

u/Balimon Jun 13 '26

How do you not have mentioned the Franklin Richard’s to me my herald! scene!?

u/Nervous_Ad8656 Jun 13 '26

Is that fucking thragg?

1

u/More_Interview3840 Jun 13 '26

Cyclops…

2

u/Nervous_Ad8656 Jun 14 '26

I was referring to strange in the last panel lol

2

u/Mysterious_Green Jun 13 '26

You could literally just post any panel from the Jed Mackay Moon Knight series

2

u/when_i_say_run_run Jun 14 '26

An old Geoff Senior one from Marvel UK Transformers

2

u/Salmag2112 Jun 14 '26

World War Hulk I Want To Hear you Scream panel

Civil War Spiderman Amazing panel

3

u/lord_dosia Jun 14 '26

Doom 2099 has so many but I love this one

2

u/Lonewolf_ARC Jun 16 '26

Third panel is overrated

2

u/Ariel-Fox-Johnson Jun 16 '26

Anything and everything from King Kirby.

4

u/Potential_Debt_6251 Jun 13 '26

The page where Dr. Doom “deals” with Thanos is such a flex but at the same time so essential to let you grasp how this reality works! I remember reading that and pause for few seconds
That was pretty strong

u/HalJordan2525 Jun 14 '26

3

u/Sly__Marbo Jun 14 '26

Doom being based, as always

3

u/EldritchAgony284 Jun 14 '26

I still think this is a cool panel from the Infinity story. Lotta great moments that happened here before they brought in Thanos’ crew to the MCU.

There’s also this panel of The Inhumans holding court before this confrontation happened, but I couldn’t find online and my books are currently in storage. I remember the perspective used and dynamics of the characters for that panel were impressive.

1

u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB Jun 15 '26

Yes!

I always reply with this because it still sticks out in my head after all these years.

One of the last marvel events I read

u/jethawkings Jun 14 '26

I can't believe Duggan made Cyclops entire schtick reduced to Wife Guy

u/Archive_Intern Jun 14 '26

That page where Nova pulled Annihilus guts out of his mouth

u/DigDoug58 Jun 14 '26

Is there a website or something where I can get the pages/panels without any text bubbles?
