Most Memorable Comic Book Moments

[Arbitrary]

Did a good job of making me stop reading Spider Man. Very memorable.

[Mudcrush Durtfeet]

Grab Watchmen graphic novel or whatever.

The run up to that when Superboy Prime was killing everyone was pretty good.

The Death of Martian Manhunter: This one kind of pissed me off. It happened in May '08. Martian Manhunter's been around forever. I know that DC has tried to make him the 2nd most powerful being on the Earth (behind Superman) and they wanted to give him more of a spotlight. I guess they gave up trying to have a green clone of him. He's been around since the 1950's, and I wouldn't expect DC to unceremoniously kill him like this.

Haha that artwork is pisspoor. That guy on the left in the final pane of the Manhunter death has the dumbest fucking look on his face.

Looks like he is taking an epic shit.

The point behind "Final Crisis" is that in this crossover, supposedly the villains will win. The Earth villains are being lead by an old cheesy villain who has only had one appearance in the DC Universe named "Libra." He wants to balance the scales towards the villains' side. Back in the day, he was shown to have enough power to make the JLA look stupid (he punked Superman back in his overpowered Pre-Crisis days - back when Supes could move planets and fly through time).

Anyway, I suppose the cheesy look is driven by the fact that Libra is back to make the villains' dreams come true and to help them get revenge on their arch-nemesis. So that explains the looks on their faces - the villains are somewhat enraptured with the possibility of getting even. He's promising them that their dreams can come true.

All-in-all, the premise of "Final Crisis" is lame.

Spidey beats a herald of Galactus way back in Amazing Spiderman 269 and 270 (in 1985, man I am getting old). Firelord is on the same power level as Silver Surfer.

/mourn for Captain America

Meh I don't know if I'd say this. They are likely in the same ballpark, but Surfer is a high salary all-star and Firelord is warming the bench, making league minimum. The difference between them is appreciable.

Let me guess, you are a Silver Surfer fan. My best friend is a Surfer fan, and everytime I tell him that Spider Man (on his best day) could beat Surfer (on his worst day) because he beat Firelord, his nerd rage level approaches 9000. 9000!

[The Ancient]

Fan enough to know that he could kick the shit out of Firelord. Not fan enough to get upset when Hulk or Thor knocks him off his board and clear across the planet.

No, Spiderman couldn't beat Silver Surfer. He could rain a thousand blows upon him while the surfer looks at him questioningly and then states "Friend, why are you assualting me?" Maybe he could eventually get him irritated enough to fire a cosmic bolt at spidey, knock him into and through a building, tearing half his costume whereupon eventual landing he could put his hand against his head and say something witty about getting smacked down.

I absolutely loved the Age of Apocalypse series. Two most memorable moments is when Colossus leaves the Generation X kids to die inside the fortress (loved the art for that issue too) and the last issue in general.

If Black Panther can do it, i'm sure Spidey could too. Then again, proportionate strength of a spider < being black.

Surfer is a wuss. Later on Black Panther goes onto meleeing Surfer into unconciousness (not kidding).
