Mark Waid really is the best. He is in my top 5 current writers.

I got to meet him once years ago and he was just a big ol' fanboy, and I mean that in the best way. He just wanted to talk about comics and how awesome they were and how cool it was to get to write comics. He saw me walking by with a bunch of back issues and called me over because he wanted to see what I'd bought :)

Similar to that, Galactus learns something new about his future and reveals something he's always dreaded in FF#16



I find it very heartwarming, and I love that last line.

Okay, now I know why Jax couldn't bring himself to kill him :)

Yea Supernatural's Death is one of my favorites, he does the whole 'yea I have the power to kill you, I can do that to anyone at any time, it's mundane to me, relax' thing really well. He gets a few really good speeches too where he basically tells people to shut their holes because death gives zero fucks about god and demons and the grand plan for things.

I stopped watching Supernatural after the Four Horsemen/Lucifer season because, seriously, the show was NEVER going to get any better than that. The Death episode was absolutely spectacular, I love how completely out of everybody's league he is. When he mutters irritably about being constrained by Lucifer who he considers a prattling child, that was pretty chilling, but my favorite exchange is probably (paraphrased):

Death: God and I are so old, we forget which of us is older. Nevertheless, one day I shall kill him too.
Dean: ....you're... going to kill God?
Death: Of course. Why not?

Another sweet Fantastic Four moment I always enjoyed - for backstory, this is from the Fantastic Four vs. X-Men mini-series, in which Kitty Pryde has lost control of her phasing power and looks set to drift away into nothingness. Reed has discovered an old journal he has no memory of writing that claims he knowingly flew himself, Sue, Ben and Johnny into the storm of Cosmic Rays, which has hugely strained relations within the group. Since Reed is basically falling apart the X-Men have turned to Doctor Doom to try and save Kitty. During Reed's darkest moment:

I love that young Bruce tests his theory of whether Clark is stronger than he looks by smashing him over the head with a stick :allears:

Okay I was expecting to be depressed but honest-to-god lost my poo poo when I saw Rorschach at the end. It's the blackest of black comedy but still :lol:

I don't know who drew it, but here's the alternate ending :3:

Go read The Death of Captain Marvel.

A scene from that book I've always loved is when Thanos tears the sheets off of Captain Marvel's bed and he's perfectly fine. Something akin to the following exchange happens.

Captain Marvel: The greatest minds of Earth couldn't save me, and now you just fix me like that?
Thanos: Of course. I am Thanos.

It's also a really sweet moment, seeing Thanos and Death escort Captain Marvel into the afterlife as friends :shobon:

I'm getting a bigger laugh out of Thou Wouldst Not Dare in response to her saying she'd go out with Hercules if Thor tried to magically heal her.

I'm sure Hercules would be happy to wear a bowtie on the date. No shirt, but a really snazzy bowtie.

People have been posting stuff from the fun fan-comic JL8 over in the Funny Panels thread. There's also a really lovely touching moment in amongst all the goofiness too that I really liked:

Wade being liked and respected by Steve Rogers is such an awesome bit of character development and I never expected anything like it.

Does Captain America remember the time that Wade saved the earth (by kicking Captain America in the balls?)
