what moments in comics made you feel more than the typical read ?

some for me were:

Dan turpin slowly transmogrifying into darkseid.

jean killing sue.

the death of captain America.

nix utoan mourning over the loss of his reality.

invincible's first fight with conquest.

caiera's physical death at the hands of the bomb.

How about the better-handled Death of Cap in Earth X. There was an emotional moment.

mar-vell dying of cancer with all the heroes of the 70's by his bedside

The moment in JSA where Hourman 1 Million swapped places with Rex Tyler, who was supposed to die alongside his other Golden Age JSAers in the fight against Extant. It was a very well written moment, with my favorite part being when 1 Million uses holographic tech to resemble Rex right as he punches Extant in the face.

Stuff like that was why JSA was my favorite DC ongoing book for years.

Good call, forgot about that.

Billy Batson deaths in Kingdom Come

Superman going phycho when the bomb went off in Kingdom Come

Kal and Diana's epilogue in Kingdom Come.

Kingdom Come was pretty phucking awesome

Barry Allen dying during CoIE and then everybody mourning over it, that was emotianal for me, probably because the flash is on of my faveourite characters

Superman fighting Doomsday and saving innocents while getting pounded to death.

Thor fighting The Serpent to the death knowing the prophecy and that he would die as well.
Even "overpowered" heroes can inspire.

Whether you liked the "Arc" or not, it doesn't take away from the fact Thor knew he'd die if he fought the Serpent. Don't bring your bias into this thread.

A less known one.
Aquaman Annual #4 (PAD run)

During the "Ghosts" storyline that run through all DC Annuals, ghosts from the heroes past come back to life.

After Orin meets some of his ancestors (and there are some funny moments), he finally meets his son's ghost. The dialogue and interaction are soul crushing.

Favorite Mary Jane moment

When BA found out his family died and tore apart the horsemen. Then like immediately after that it stopped being emotional...

I have this silver surfer graphic novel, that I can't find atm, and it involves surfer and another alien kidnapping children to help them evolve or something and one of the children he adbucted was autistic and her mother's story really touched me. I can't remember what it was called tho.

It's not bias. I've admitted my biases on these boards, and will do so whenever. It was a horribly written arc, all of it, and it's as simple as that.

Again, nothing changes the fact that Thor knew he'd die if he fought The Serpent, and he did anyway. Many people can't stand the DOS storyline, but I still found it emotional.

You and your obsession with oneupping Superman. uhuh

I said for me because at the time I was 8 years old and was big on Donner films. Superman's death had a huge impact on me that year.

Wasn't even born during Marvel's death.

He stood alone at Gjallerbru and that answer is enough.

Wasn't even born during Marvel's death. Meh, I just think Mar-Vell's death was one of the best handled death in comics. Both in execution, and the after effects.

If we're talking about deaths not having an impact because of an earlier one, then Mar-Vell is the ultimate trump.

Although, Cap's death would have had a bigger impact for me had it no press before hand. Just out of nowhere.

Okay

Captain America 285. Captain America runs into the Porcupine and is valiantly trying to end the fight quickly. We find out why in the end.

The Rhino story from The Gauntlet was a very emotionally engaging story. Flowers for Rhino too.

When Ted Kord was killed.

Not a comic, but when Buffy fought Angel when he turned into Angelus. ****er was opening a gate to Hell, succeeded, and before she could kill him, he's soul was returned.

But since the portal was already opened, she had no choice but to kill him and sentenced an innocent soul to suffer in hell.

I have watched all of Firefly and Serenity. And obviously the Avengers, as well as plenty of the comics he's written. Not a buffy fan though. Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog was pretty funny too. Also, Cabin in the Woods wasn't bad...

I'm guessing the All-Star moment everyone is alluding to is dependent on many pages preceding it, for I'm not finding myself able to appreciate it.
Note the one page shown, at any rate.

I find myself thinking the art is substandard, which surprises me, for I'm generally NOT a person who rates comicwork by art.


Then again, I thought DC broke the mold when more or less the same scene appeared in JSA. THAT scene IS emotional, and (arguably?) my favorite Superman scene of all time.

When I first beheld it, without even thinking about it, I started humming the John William's theme to myself. Probably one of the better "feel good" moments I've had with a comic.

This was the most horrible thing I've ever seen in a comic

That's phucking horrible.

PHUCCCCCCCCK

Why did I click in this thread?

Three things stand out in my recent memory:

We3. Nuff said.

Mary Jane comforting Peter Parker after Gwen Stacy's death even though he callously lashes out at her in grief. Hope they do that scene justice in Amazing Spider-Man sequels.

The duel between the deaf Sasaki Kojiro and Koun, a skilled Tokugawa refugee swordsman. Where Kojiro was pushed to such limits he discovered his famous "swallow cut" sword technique spontaneously during the fight. And when he realized that Koun was the first true friend he had ever made who rivaled him in, and shared his love for, sword technique, it was too late because he had killed Koun to win the duel.

I was pretty emotional during this scene. Really brought out those suicidal tears

Wasn't sure to cry or to fap as I read it.

Try doing a little of both while tearing a comic book in half.

Those were some dark times...

It was like a doubled edged sword. AvX gave Thor some great feats, even though he was marginalized completely (if you removed Thor, the story wouldn't be effected one way or the other) and generally overpowered. His ongoing, on the other hand, turned his "average" into killing skyfathers and shit at the expense of him being bipolar as phuck.

Now, we have a well written Thor, both in his solo book and in team titles.

Invincible first fight with his Father Omniman.

And the Sword from Image Comics, towards the end. This is an incredible comic, I really don't want to spoil the ending.

It did, that's true. Resisting enhanced Emma prying into his mind, the KO of the PF, fighting it out with Phoenix Namor for a bit, etc.

AvX wasn't unbearable really, it was bad no doubt since like you said it made Thor really unimportant to the story. Some guy the P5 got to beat up to look powerful for. The worst of it came during AvX #11-12 to me, when everyone was getting in their shots on Scott and Emma, and Thor shows up to either get KO'd or literally brushed aside. But even that was bearable.

What made that year in general just awful for Thor was even when he shined power wise like in Mighty Thor, it was unreadable for me. The biggest reason I got into Thor was because he combined elegance power and heroism into one. When they take away his elegance and heroism and have him threatening to bash in enchantresses face in or slamming a mutant teen with his class 100 strength in the gut (not Mighty Thor but it was in character for him at the time) it kills the story and any feeling of enjoyment I can get from reading about him. Even with the good feats.

Like honestly, power/feat wise, outside of random jobbing/PIS here and there Thor didn't get "nerfed" over the past couple of years. I mean, the guy clipped the PF's wings, recovered from beatings from the Phoenix Five faster than Gladiator (another high herald who was basically beaten half to death and placed in intensive care), killed Surtur, killed the Serpent, beat Nul/Angrir, killed the Demogorge, stalemated Surfer while injured, etc. But god damn, Thor's character got raped to death by Fraction. When phucking Bendis writes a more in character Thor than the guy handling his ongoing, there's a serious phucking problem.

Well, at least you can argue that Fraction's Thor was just....Thor being very, very upset or something. At least it's a take on the character, if nothing else.

With Bendis it just feels like he got a note with two sentences describing Thor and then just went with that.
