Love the thread idea. Sometimes a panel in a comic gets to you, and that Superman one you posted is one of two of my favourite pages from Allstar Superman, and one of my favourite Superman panels ever.

I'm not American, but I love this extract from Civil War, since it showcases the ideals I'd like to hope the citizen of our global hegemon really aspire to, and really the ideas that anyone who has any kind of vote on anything should believe. The first two pages are mostly Mark Twain's words, but the third are pure Cap at his best. Panel 3 could quite easily go in the badass thread. Just look at that pose and general imposing panel composition; "No. You move" indeed.

I found myself pretty affected by the pages of Ultimate Nightmare where the mass suicides happen around the globe. There's a few more pages if I remember correctly, but this is all I could find:



(Ultimate Nightmare no. 1)

That part really got to me in the same way that the suicides in Day of the Triffids did. Sure, superheroes deal with that sort of horror daily, but for the average person, the idea of some kind of unstoppable interplanetary genocide being beamed right into their brain as a promise of things to come is probably grounds to end it quickly. That last page... brrr, chilling.

I think the reactions of normal people to the insane comic book universes in which they live is a really great theme. It's why I really liked Civil War: Frontline up until Sally's retarded Nascar speech.
