"That’s cheating! You know the rules: once you sacrifice something here, you don’t get it back!"

Does anyone have the panel/panels from (I think) Concrete, where the normally very amicable giant man threatens someone incredibly violently. I think its maybe a terrorist/hostage situation? I remember it being badass in a way that was better than most comic stuff, but I might be wrong.

In my head, the diamonds are actually ground up broken glass because of escapades involving Jimmy Olsen fortress-sitting, and the inferior vintage will kill a space-Pope.

Concrete is astonishingly good but that scene is 1) not at all indicative of the tone of most of the content and 2) all the stronger for being such an anomaly. most of the book is more like "my mother's dying, how can I visit her to say goodbye without giving away my secret identity"

EDIT: "well I'm immortal and indefatigable, why don't I swim across the pacific ocean once, just to see how it feels"

Yeah the 90 pages before that are pretty much Concrete realizing his buddy got taken hostage by random carjackers (I think? I was skimming a little) and he was trying clumsily to chase after him.
