As great as it is, it still doesn't address the fact she's fighting in high heels

Even if they could manage to fight in high heels and not fall over or break their ankles within 60 seconds they never take advantage of them. Have you ever had someone in high heels accidentally step on your foot? They're not called stilettos for nothin'

Hawkeye is "An Avenger's Day Off".

Hawkeye skips training and drives Coulson's flying car Lola to Chicago with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch where he has many adventures (including singing "Twist and Shout" on a parade float) and all the while he has to avoid Nick Fury who is trying to bust him for truancy.

It'd look something like this.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was also a homage to a classic cover but I can't quite place it.

Then there was the time that the fresh new DC artist John Byrne decided to pay homage to the famous Marvel artist John Byrne



:v:


F4 #249 (whose cover has not only been redone by Byrne himself but many other artists) also includes this panel:


It's like a homage Babushka doll.


Edit: maybe we need a homage thread for all these, there's an almost endless supply of them

The big comic books have that roving continuity thing, don't they? Like, that's how Batman's always 35 or something? Maybe back when Wolverine was introduced decades ago, he was supposed to have been alive in time for the civil war, but now they've moved that up to more turn-of-the-century. In another couple decades, Wolverine will have cut his teeth on the Great War.

On the other hand, Scrooge McDuck was born in 1867 and he died in 1967.

He's on neither the dark nor the far side, though given the positioning of the sun it looks like he just emerged from a lunar eclipse. So there was no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact it was all dark.

There's a caption box on the panel saying "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON". I guess maybe he's chilling out listening to some Pink Floyd?

Exhibit B:



An eeeevil carwash? :raise:

The Decepticons' plan here was to set up prefabricated carwashes at service stations which hypnotized the people who took their cars through it and made them drive to a Decepticon base and siphon off their fuel into their collection silos, meeting their fuel requirements one gas tank at a time. Why they just didn't hypnotize the owners of the service stations and make them hand over thousands and thousands of gallons in one hit was never explained ...

The Avengers and the Fantastic Four slug it out with Godzilla so pretty much everyone except Spider-man is at the fight:
