The Best of the Week in Panels – 06.01.2011

Panels. P-A-N-A- *DING*

 

Flashpoint: Batman: Knight of Vengeance #1

By Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso, & Patricia Mulvihill

The moodiest panel in the moodiest book of the week. I found myself wishing that Eduardo Riso had drawn Flashpoint while reading this..

Thunderbolts #158

By Jeff Parker, Kev Walker, Frank Martin Jr., & Albert Deschesne

I just love the design for Troll. It's so ridculous, and it makes me laugh, that I love whenever she shows up.

— Conor Kilpatrick

 

Jonah Hex #68

By Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, Rafa Garres, & Rob Leigh

The most evocative panel of the week. The hand drawn soud effect is a wonderful touch.

— Conor Kilpatrick

 

Irredeemable #26

By Mark Waid, Peter Krause, Andrew Dalhouse, & Ed Dukeshire

"Oh." That about says it all.

— Josh Flanagan

 

Wonder Woman #611

By J. Michael Straczynski, Phil Hester, Don Kramer, Wayne Faucher, Alex Sinclair, & Travis Lanham

"SHUNK" is such a great sound effect.

— Conor Kilpatrick

 

Fear Itself #3

By Matt Fraction, Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger, Laura Martin, Larry Molinar, & Chris Eliopoulos

One of those two page spreads that makes me go "oooooh!" when I turn the page. Plus, The Thing is destorying Yancy Street, which is sad. Also, how are people going to get to the Williamsburg Bridge now?

Comments

  1. Does that Troll costume remind anyone else of the little girl from Monsters, Inc.?

  2. I like how that panel from Batman can’t be distinguished from a regular Batman issue.

    Can’t think of a favorite panel per say. But my favorite sequence this week was in ‘Hellboy: The Fury’. Where we see a flashback of the solider in WWI from the trenches to present day. A perfect example of how a colorist can make an issue. 

  3. Immonen drew the hell out of a classic Marvel Comic this week. His work there was very reminiscent of, say, “Atlantis Attacks” for instance.

  4. That Wonder Woman panel was brutal! A great story moment as well. Here’s hoping we talk about it on the podcast. 🙂

  5. Thanks for spoling the Thing as one of the “Worthy” for me!!!!

  6. Irredeemable is too creepy sometimes.

  7. loads of action this week!

  8. @TheNextChampion  Are you thinking what i’m thinking? Where’s Waldo, Batman edition!!! ;D — Though even in that panel you can make out that it is Thomas Wayne by looking at the pointy cowl bits above his shoulders 😉

    @JAMESDEAN2020  It’s the panels of the week, if you’re reading somehting this week, and that something has panels in them, as comics tend to do, then expect spoilers ;p

  9. Batman, “He’s behind me right?”

  10. The Troll costume reminds me of the monster arc in Kevin Smith’s Green Arrow run.

  11. The art from the Batman Flashpoint was just incredible and the panel design and layout was really refreshing. So many great moments in there. 

    The frear itself spread was quite nice and the brightspot in that book for me.  

  12. I was a big fan of the flash fail panel in flashpoint. Lots of disturbing images in this week’s books.

  13. Immonen is unbelievable. I felt the ground shake when I turned the page to that image.

  14. I should read Irredeemable.
