Welcome Comic Frontline‘s Top 5 Panels! This is where the Frontline Six unite to pick their Top 5 comic panels from the week, and then you guys get to vote below which panel was your favorite. In next week’s post, we will announce the winner from the poll.
Fan Panel Pick From Last Week – Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 – Are They Mine?
KAT
Honorable Mention – West Coast Avengers #7 – It’s Jeff!
I can’t believe I can fall in love with a character with just one panel, but I’m in love with Jeff!
5. West Coast Avengers #7 – ASL
I love how Kelly Thompson puts Clint and Kate’s close relationship on display. It’s cool to see Kate know sign language because of Clint.
4. The Flash Annual #2 – Where is Everyone?
We need answers. I want a Flash family book!
3. Ms. Marvel #37 – A Heart Attack
2. Batgirl #31 – Because of Me
This was a pretty powerful panel where Babs see’s the consequences of her actions as Batgirl.
1. Action Comics #1007 – I Married Superman
BRANT
Honorable Mention – Heroes in Crisis #5 – There’s BLOOD in the Way
Love the metaphor here.
5. West Coast Avengers #7 – I Need a Love Story
Just edged out over the Jeff scene Kat mentioned, but scenes like this make me utter words I never thought I would: I just love Gwenpool!
4. The Flash Annual #2 – Where is Everyone?
Like Kat said, we need answers!
3. Action Comics #1007 – I Married Superman
A great and powerful scene as Lois drops a bombshell on General Lane.
2. Teen Titans Annual #1 – I Will Hunt You Down…
Man, I would NOT want to cross D’Jinn!
1. Heroes in Crisis #5 – He Hit Me Good
This is such an emotional scene for Harley that shows how truly tortured she is, both physically and psychologically.
CHRIS
5. Action Comics #1007 – I Married Superman
Lois and her dad.
4. Book of Magic #4 – Into the Dreaming
3. Heroes in Crisis #5 – The Nightmares
2. The Terrifics #12 – Joyride
Plastic Man is totally dead.
1. Mysteries of Love In Space #1 – Never Alone
JAY
Honorable Mention: Heroes in Crisis #5 (Of 9) – Clues In Crisis…
Making this the “Top 5” really sucks because this panel is so awesome and deserves to be in the poll but I had to place the other five above it. Look at the freaking awesomeness in this, they worked out “Heroes In Crisis” into the art without being super obvious. I love this series, and I love the art this shows you how great it is, and I love looking for hidden clues.
5. Heroes in Crisis #5 (Of 9) – You Learn Something New Every Day
4. Action Comics #1007 – He Can’t See My Faults…
Talking about getting characters! Bendis shows how much he knows Lois and Superman. I love how they see each other and Bendis does a great job showing us how they see each other.
3. The Flash Annual #2 – It’s All Wrong!
YES! YES! YES! YES! Joshua Williamson gets it! One of Bart’s powers is that he can sense changes in the timeline and FINALLY it is mentioned here, BUT that isn’t all. I love the nods to Bart’s history to the Flash Family here, this was so SPROCKING CRASH!
2. The Flash Annual #2 – Grief…
1. The Flash Annual #2 – My… Wally…
Man talk about emotions! Kolins does it here we see Iris running the emotional gambit going through it all and Barry’s emotions are so well defined as well. But I loved how Williamson knows the bond between Iris and Wally and that moment where she can barely utter those words, “My… Wally…” speak volumes. This is the best issue of The Flash I have read in years and panels like this illustrate why.
