The Best of the Week in Panels – 05.25.2011

I lost my panels; didn't take me no time.

 

Secret Avengers #13

By Nick Spencer, Scot Eaton, Jamie Mendoza, Rick Ketcham, Frank D'Armata, & Dave Lanphear

I can now check "Witness The Statue of Abraham Lincoln Come To Life and Pummel Nazi Robots" off my comic book bucket list.

— Conor Kilpatrick

 

American Vampire #15

By Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque, Dave McCaig, & Pat Brousseau

I don't know a lot, but I do know when you're tunneling though secret passages in the South Pacific during World War II, the last thing you want is to open a hatch and find a bunch of Imperial Army. This much, I know.

— Josh Flanagan

 

Captain America #618

By Ed Brubaker, Butch Guice, Stefano Gaudiano, Bettie Breitweiser, & Joe Caramagna

The more Steranko influenced this book is, the better it is.

— Conor Kilpatrick

 

Ruse #3

By Mark Waid, Minck Oosterveer, Antonio Fabela, & Rob Steen

After only three issues Simon Archard and his assistant partner Emma Bishop already have one of the best relationships in comics.

— Conor Kilpatrick

 

Detective Comics #877

By Scott Snyder, Jock, David Baron, & Sal Cipriano

This is why I love Jock's work so much. Batman is basically a cannonball at this point, and a flaming one at that. No artists have been able to nail the graphic beauty of that cape the way Jock does in a long while. This is just great Batman.

— Josh Flanagan

 

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #6

By Jason Aaron, Adam Kubert, Mark Roslan, Justin Ponsor, & Rob Steen

This rollicking good time mini-series ended with a series of gut-punches. This being the most gut-punchiest of all.

— Conor Kilpatrick

Comments

  1. Did Spider-man go to Italy??  I don’t see a lot of Esso stations in America.  That Captain America panel is pulp mainstream comics.

  2. What about Secret Warriors? You know which panel I’m talking about.

  3. i just have to know how that statue of lincoln came to life

  4. I was hoping one of Kubert’s panels from astonishing would make it it, and I’m glad it was this. 

  5. My favorite panel of the week was the scene with attacking Guy and Hal in green latern and it goes all “x-ray” on them. the coloring on that page is ridiculus

  6. There were a number of exceptional panels in Detective Comics this week, but that may be the best.

  7. Pouty face Doom in FF #4 was easily the funniest panel I read this week.

  8. The best moment in Detective is that two page spread of Grayson’s face as he’s talking to Sonia.

    I did like the long sequence in Xombi #3 where we see the extent of Kim’s healing abilities and Rozum’s take on death. Really going all Grant Morrison on us there. 

  9. @WHATTHEDAST  Yes, Yes I do. I fully expected to see that panel here.

  10. @WHATTHEDAST

    Booya- Secret Warriors “head shot” should have made t this week

  11. Secret Warriors was my best panel of the week, easy….not to mention the entire page before that panel was pretty phenomenal as well.

  12. I did like the Lincoln Page, but I think the Washington ordering all of the troops page was a better moment.

  13. Detective comics was pretty incredile this week.  Jock crushed that issue. 

  14. @360Logic Agreed

  15. I didn’t read Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #6 but that panel gave me chills
