Can't let the first page of the Badass Panels thread go by without putting in the most badass of badass.















From Weird Fantasy #18, published in 1953.

To the people buying comics that they don't like, can you explain to me why?

Because I was hoping that things would turn around for Fables and it'd get some direction eventually, but by the time I realized that it wouldn't, it was already ending soon so I might as well finish it up. Ditto with The Walking Dead but I actually gave up on that because that poo poo is not going to end soon.

Man, when Reed Richards has that "that's hosed up" look, you know you've probably crossed some line.

Can someone post the Martian Manhunter doing something badass since every time I see him in anything, whether a panel thread or the JLA cartoon, he's just getting his rear end handed to him despite being as strong as Superman but with telepathy, shapeshifting, and incorporeality (albeit with a much more common weakness).

That reminds me of that sci-fi short with the astronaut checking in on a robot society. It was also incredibly ahead of its time for when it was published.

I'll take any excuse to repost that comic.

Wisdom of Solomon definitely wasn't there when he (game plot spoiler) questioned Superman's methods. Also I like how the sound effect is THOOM.

I also love Top 10 to death. I just wish there were a way I could have figured out she was singing the Ode to Joy before the second page.

Speaking of the subtle things in Top 10 that accounts for so much of its character, I think it's funny that Syn's powers work through puns.

Ultima's perfume is likely called Eau de Joy

It's all undercut by the fact that the rest of them, except Obi Wan, died like chumps.

I don't care what generic white guy they get to play Black Bolt, but I'll be disappointed if his climactic one liner at the end of the movie isn't voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.

People shouldn't shoot at Superman - Everyone knows it's a thrown gun which is actually dangerous to him!

You can't tell because it's in black and white but that gun is totally kryptonite green.

Yes. I think it involves perfume and music.

And a pun!

She hears Beethoven's Ode to Joy, but she smells the Commissioner's perfume, Eau de Joy

It also shows where that white handprint on his chest came from. I don't think there had been any foreshadowing just how sad a story it was.

Not how tragic, but there was definitely some foreshadowing about how bitter he was about where he came from. There's obviously the singing sword in one scene of Top 10, then there was a short conversation he had with his partner about how dragons and magic and all that was poo poo.

Why didn't he kill it?

I imagine he was just incredibly demoralized about failing to be a hero.

Warren Ellis is fine when he can actually get a book out on time. The reason people are souring on him is his constant inability to do that, not the quality of his writing. I've learned my lesson after too many times now. I'm not going to buy another Ellis book until it has some collections out.

There was a Desolation Jones collection and then nothing else ;(

Edit: To stay on topic, here's a panel from John Lewis' March, which should be read in its entirety for the chronicle of badassery that it is.

What was even the point of that.

To solidify the fact that Sentry is the worst character.

Injustice 2 #1

I'm reminded of a similar line in Kingdom Come. I can't tell if this is a reference, since the syntax is pretty different, but I couldn't help but think about it.

I'm not sure why, but this looks very modern to me.

That's because Bill Sienkiewicz is timeless.

Really kinda undermines the moment to have a guy on space skis just kinda float into the scene.
