I may have said this before, but somewhere in the multiverse is a Bruce Wayne who diverted every penny of the Wayne fortune into inner-city schools, and works as a social worker. Alfred is also a social worker. Dick Grayson and all the others are just kids who needed help and, with his help, have made careers. He doesn't ever throw a punch. No bats, no supervillains.

He is, of course, still best friends with Superman.

Conan's character arc throughout the original books (and Marvel comics) is kind of great. He starts out so disdainful of civilization, only drawn away from his native simple barbarian village by greed, wanderlust, and the promise of power. And he's constantly talking poo poo about how dumb civilized people are, how lame government is, how stupid religion is. But by the end of it, through all his fairly selfish adventures, he gains a bunch of wisdom, and when he finally becomes a king, he's a fair, wise and just king who actually does all his paperwork because he knows it's for the good of the kingdom.

So, the troubled brow upon which he bears the crown of Aquilonia, is troubled because he's just got so many goddamn forms to sign, and all the assassination attempts are a welcomed diversion from a life otherwise burdened with responsibility

I don't follow IDW's ongoing stuff, but in their limited series Tranformers vs. GI Joe, Soundwave...well, he didn't exactly "join" GI Joe, so much as he "had his head ripped off and replaced by Bumblebee's body bent into a roughly-head-shaped cockpit piloted by Doctor Venom," but it basically counts.

It's cool though, he was reforged in Cybertron's land of the dead. Lost his singing voice, though.

See, I liked the one from, I think Marvel Adventures? The one Clevinger wrote? Where they're up against some ludicrous threat and Spidey rattles off a workable plan, everyone kind of gawps at him and he says "No-one seems to remember that I'm also really, really smart."

That is probably my favourite spider-man moment of all time, and that page is arguably the peak of the whole Superior Spider-Man shebang.

I love how in those last two panels, the ultratight zoom on Norman and Parker makes the speech bubbles seem tiny, implying they're almost whispering - even though the lettering is the same size as everywhere else.

It's such a good page.

There's an issue of the Marvel Ren and Stimpy comic (written by Dan Slott!) that clowns on this whole sequence... Spidey's got to get out for his Aunt May, yes, but also his old English teacher Mr. Sheckley, Otto Flippa the Incan God of Ties (his head is an upside down Volkswagen), Pepe, Hans and Rita (three clipart bears), their kids....

Oh, and instead of buried in debris, he's crustied in a giant booger. Because it's a Ren and Stimpy comic.

Alita challenges the reigning Motorball champion for martial arts reasons, and he accepts, but requires that she form a team of five to face him because he's so transcendent he requires a massive handicap.

She forms a team of all the notable people from her last race, and at the beginning of their match the champion just effortlessly obliterates her team.

As you said, it's a rad sequence but manga tends to fail without the context
