Your most memorable comic/novel moment or series?

[TWjohnny]

Personally mine is the monologue The Joker gives to Batman in the "Killing Joke" I absolutely adore that novel now, the joker's monologue explores his character in only a few paragraphs.
His questioning of Batman slowly turning into a hidden metaphor of his own past...something so scarring he has to change it?
freaking love that speech.

or perhaps the entire Marvel Zombies series, I loved that too

so...what's yours?

The Dresden Files. Um. All of it. >.>;

 

[The Code]

Mine would have to be either one of these two:

"The only difference between me and you is one really rotten day."

Andrew Ryan's monologue from the beginning of Bioshock 1
"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?" You know, that one. Combined with the visuals of first arriving at Rapture, it still ceases to amaze me.

"He felt goose pimples clacking all over him as he gazed down despondently at the grim secret Snowden had spilled all over the messy floor. It was easy to read the message in his entrails. Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all. "

Catch 22.

Probably my favourite book of all time.

it still ceases to amaze me.

I suspect you mean it never ceases to amaze you. Otherwise you've never been amazed by it.

OT -

Pretty much this entire series. The characters, the word play.
All amazing.

Berserk - The sacrifice of the Band of the Hawk.

This was like Bambi's mother's death times a hundred.

Well, I'm much more of a Disney comics kind of guy, so I'm going to say Lost in the Andes by Carl Barks. It's one of the best Disney story, regardless of main character and a fantastic comic in itself, when compared to others. The moment when they find the city of the square people(the name eludes me) is great and is very well done. Barks really was a master storyteller and I'm so excited that Fantagraphics are doing a collection of all his work with Disney and publishing it.

In general, the work of a lot of the master storytellers of the Disney universe, Barks, Rosa and Gottfredson, have really produced some quality stories, over the years.

As for non-Disney work, I found Batman: Arkham Asylum(otherwise known as Serious House on Serious Earth) to be really interesting and memorable, especially because of the art style used. It was a different look at Batman and his villians, which I found quite interesting and not like some of the other Batman comics, I've read.

I guess my would be the first Marvel comic (somewhere in the latel 80's or early 90's) I have ever read which belong to my brother. Granted I have no idea what the title was called but all I can remember is it was one big brawl between the Marvel characters.

What happen was this kid own alot of Marvel action figures which he left the room and the whole Toy Story scenerio had happen althought they all fight each other for some reason. When the heard the kid coming back to the room I think they put their differences aside and join together to clean the kid room (I think his mother was going to punish him for his untidy room by getting rid of his collection).

I think there was a second part but I barely remember that which again I think was the kid wishing for no more superheroes and somehow eliminate them all somehow (I could be wrong with this one).

Favourite moment from a book? The ending of A Darkling Plain. Being the fourth book in an excellent series, I was amazed...

Spoiler

EVERYONE's story gets tied up so neatly and with individual consideration and polish, and considering the fact that this one series has featured everything from aging, alcoholic bullshit artists (Nimrod) to ancient android relics of a by-gone war (Shrike) that's impressive. I've often heard Final Fantasy 3 (6?) get cited as having a really good ending that ties up everything, it'd have to pull something good to top this.

When Lori died in the walking dead, Nothing will ever top that, ever

 

[Blunderboy]

Also, considering what I'm currently reading. A certain scene in this comes to mind.

 

[Blunderboy]

When Lori died in the walking dead, Nothing will ever top that, ever

Oh yes. That was a pretty shocking moment.
Probably worth spoliering to be honest though.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I just read Prologue to Deadpool Corps and I absolutely love the origin story for Dogpool (or Cujo as he was later re-named). Loved that Graphic Novel as a whole but Dogpool had a great origin.

 

[Queen Michael]

When Lori died in the walking dead, Nothing will ever top that, ever

You should use a spoiler tag for that; some people haven't read that far yet, you know.
Me? That comicbook where Wolverine used a burning man as a cigarette lighter.

 

[Archroy]

When the First of the Fallen gets laughed at by his brothers after being tricked into drinking a pint of holy water in Hellblazer.

The Age of Apocalypse X-men event. Everyone's roles are switched around, so good guys are mercenaries and bad guys are good guys (for example, Magneto and Rogue lead the X-men and are in a relationship). Wolverine isn't exactly a good guy in this timeline, so Sabretooth steps in and becomes the Wolverine character, playing the father role to Jubilee's Blink (one of my favorite characters EVER), a 15-year-old girl who can teleport at least as far away as the moon and throw remote teleportals in the form of javelins. Apocalypse's right-hand man, Holocaust, kills Sabretooth by gutting him and leaves him for the rest of the X-men to find. Blink breaks down in tears when she sees her dead father figure - and then goes after Holocaust for revenge. During the prolonged battle, she teleports him over molten steel and drops him. After a moment, he crawls right out and comes after her again. She creates a teleportal at his midsection, ripping his body in half. Then Sabretooth's healing factor finally kicks in. He's not dead after all. But the X-men are overrun by the bad guys. So Blink teleports them all to the fuckin' moon.

Now that is good sci-fi.

Somebody put that shit in an X-men movie. Oh, and don't forget Sinister, the Morlocks, Bolivar Trask and the Sentinels, Omega Red, an Emma Frost who isn't a bimbo, a Gambit who is actually Cajun, Psylocke, Jubilee, a Rogue who can fly and swing Sentinels around like baseball bats, Famine, and the Church of Humanity.
