There's another Savage Sword of Conan where he breaks into the base of some weird soothsayer and gets trapped in a death pit. The Soothsayer taunts him by saying he'll read him three fortunes from cards, two of possible fates and the third of his almost definite fate. The first two are stories of Conan doing some crazy cool poo poo but dying at the end. The Soothsayer gets to the third and laughs that he always knows what this one will be, the intruder dying in his pit. He flips it over, has a moment to look shocked and then Conan (who has of course used the time to escape) kills him. Conan looks at the final card, shakes his head and laughs and walks away. The card falls to the ground to reveal an image of a King sitting on a throne

Alacron posted:At this point you're just trying to goad people into posting these panels for you. I wish I had them to post myself! A lot of this stuff I read when I was a kid and it got me to read the Conan range of books (some by Howard, many more by the likes of L. Sprague de Camp) and it was pretty much everything a kid could ever want. The Tower of the Elephant is such a cool loving story and got me hooked immediately.

I only ever read one Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser when I was quite young (I think it was in an anthology of some sort) and I remember really enjoying it. I must have been quite young though because I remember thinking for some reason that GM was literally a mouse and it was some kind of Secret of NIMH style story, except I couldn't figure out what animal Fafhrd was supposed to be

Lurdiak posted:Hercules once staggered Galactus with a punch in a What If, which he should probably consider his 13th labor. Wasn't Galactus drunk as gently caress at the time? So drunk he took his helmet off? I swear that happened in a comic somewhere, I remember reading it and I'm not smart enough to make something like that up.

Doc Hawkins posted:It's a panel I thought was badass. I really like Savage, or at least the idea of him. I've been watching the old Justice League cartoon, and the episode where Superman gets flung into the far future where Vandal Savage has wiped out all life on earth and become this zen dude who realizes he hosed up badly is really well handled.

Herr Tog posted:context is important kids. In that case, I'll post this since I recently read the series Berserk because it had been so highly recommended. Like an idiot I didn't realize it wasn't complete yet so now I'm stuck waiting for it to update. Maybe these pages only work if you've read the roughly 30,000 pages that precede it but I thought it was one of the more badass moments I've read in a comic series, especially in a series like Berserk which seems primarily concerned with ultra-violence or uses graphic sex for shock value, which are the least interesting parts of the series in my view. For context: A boy called Rickert discovers that the man he idolized did something abominably horrible, and not only got away with it but has been rewarded with near unlimited power as a result. He is forced to flee from his comfortable "retirement" in the countryside as the only safe place in the world is in the kingdom this man - Griffith - now rules as a messianic figure worshiped like a God on Earth. When he arrives in the capital city it is made very clear to him that this place is a paradise but that it is a thin veil over the absolute control Griffith holds over everybody and nobody will accept any questioning of his rule. Everybody is shown to be happy and content and that Griffith being their ruler is a good thing, all without knowledge of the horrible things he has done to set up this situation in the first place. Griffith feels no guilt for what he has done, accepts no responsibility, and does not care at all about a single person who considers him their savior. Rickert finally meets him face-to-face for the first time since learning the truth, after having immense pressure put on him to not make any fuss or bother, and the implied threat that if he does they will punish the young girl who is under his care. He is alone, surrounded by near legendary soldiers all completely loyal to Griffith, all who are watching him intently:

It ends with the Fantastic Four showing up and saying,"Sorry we've been gone for the last two decades, Reed was working on a plan" and then they pull out the Ultimate Nullifier. Post credits sequence is a big party on Earth celebrating the return of the Fantastic Four, watched in Latveria by Doom who decides it's time to make a return to public life.

Choco1980 posted:I love how if you look close, that blade is definitely drawn there the whole time. It's so unobtrusive though you completely overlook it the first time you read the sequence. Last panel of the first page you can see he's throwing it too (and it was established in his hand a few panels before), but the gesture also looks like he's just gesticulating as he talks. Very cool.

I'm pretty sure a recurring thing with Thoth-Amon is being pissed at himself that he was scrying for potential threats a couple decades earlier and saw a young barbarian teen loving off out of Cimmeria to go on adventures, and ignored it because what the gently caress could some gangly barbarian rear end in a top hat ever do to cause HIM trouble?

Lurdiak posted:Those movies got a lot of things wrong about Conan's character, but his attitude to religion is not one of them. "If you won't help me, then the hell with you, I'll do it myself!" Scaramouche posted:Not that one, but I do believe he had a crossover with Thor and Thor died so Conan was hella pissed and started climbing Croms mountain with Thor's hammer, and also with murderous intent. Yeah, one of my favorite What If's ever. Thor goes to see Crom who, unsurprisingly, tells him to gently caress off. Then Conan goes up there at the end of the comic with the implication that he's basically gonna kick Crom's rear end when he gets up there.

One of my guilty pleasures is that I still think the comic where Punisher uses an unconscious Spider-Man as a human shield while fighting a giant meta-human is funny. It ends with a dazed Spider-Man waking up and asking what happened, and Frank going,"We had a team-up. You were great."
