Fan Panel Pick From Last Week – Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter #1 – Dazzler Fan
KAT
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 – You Need A Buffy
This is just so Buffy!
4. Smooth Criminals #3 – We’re Friends
3. Batman #63 – 10:48
2. The Avant-Guards #1 – Sports?
1. Naomi #1 – The Superman Complex
BRANT
5. Sideways #12 – Foreshadowing?
It may be nothing, but the whole thing with the statue seemed to be leading to some revelation. With one issue to go, who knows?
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 – Mouth Talking
This panel and specifically Xander’s speech seemed to be the most accurate to me of the entire issue and I loved it!
3. Guardians of the Galaxy #1 – Seemed Lame
I’m not exactly a fan of Groot talking, but I have to admit this was a funny scene where Groot just blew off a very important meeting because it “seemed lame.” haha
2. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 – Are They Mine?
This was a literal laugh-out-loud moment for me when I read this. Johnny seeing the two orange kids and just automatically assuming they’re his was hilarious, as was Spidey’s response.
1. Uncanny X-Men Annual #1 – Beaches Suck!
This was a great conversation that led to Cyclops saying “I was wrong” a couple of panels later. Him realizing all the tragedies that befell the X-Men at his hands and owning up to the fact that he is guilty and was wrong was a long time coming.

Honorable Mention: Teen Titans #26 – Alfred’s Protection
Alfred loves all his boys equally and he is will to defend each of them against the others. I love how fatherly Alfred is, he is one of the best Dad’s in comics.
5. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 – Inadequate Adulting
LOL Peter’s neighbor taking shots at Boomerang is hilarious, I love it!
4. Teen Titans #26 – Ouch…
DAMN! Alfred hit Damian with some hard truths and those words are going to be rattling around in head for a while.
3. Buffy The Vampire Slayer #1 – Willow The Great
This is so spot on! Xander and Willow’s voices are perfect here, this is early days of Buffy. This feels more right than the last few “Seasons” of the comic did.
2. Uncanny X-Men Annual #1 – Set It Right
1. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 – She Did Once
This hits harder than any of his rogues. I love the simplicity of this scene that speaks so loud and with such raw emotion.
MIKE SPIDER-SLAYER
5. Guardians of the Galaxy #1 – This is My New Crew
I just like that a team is formed. However, looks like Cosmic Ghost Rider is not happy.
4. Teen Titans #26 – Life Vs. Fortnite
Round House had me laughing as he’s praying to not get sent to Arkham in exchange for Fortnight. It was a great scene!
3. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 – Be Discreet!
Typical Johnny always having to make an entrance even though Spidey told him to be discreet. This was hilarious!
2. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 – Are They Mine?
Looks like Johnny has slept with so many women he doesn’t even know if he might have kids. This scene had me laughing out loud crying. The chemistry between Johnny and Peter was great and so impactful. Even though, it was only for a couple of panels.
1. The Immortal Hulk #12 – Monster!
This is such a sad scene between Bruce and his dad. It’s such a gut punch. From a little boy, Bruce has always been called a monster. No wonder he has so much rage built up in him. He never felt loved from one of the people that is supposed to love him the most.
