OMG Yes! I just dig you so much more for mentioning Batman’s detecitve “skillz”. That side of him’s almost completely lost in the movies, sadly. (Tim Burton prob kept most of that element in.) Which, y’know, when your only “superpower” among a motley crew of aliens & mutants is basically being rich… your other, more cerebral, qualities would come in handy. Anyway, thanks for the covers & link! :) I mean… Brian Bolland’s WW #72 cover? It spawned the male superheroes’ pose! Did NOT know that.

Thanks!

Hah – that gif… For a sec I was half expecting Captain Wales to break out his inner mockney and go “Meghan. Meg… M… Oi! OI! Meg!” the security guard (?) in white in the middle doing the dude version of clutching pearls. That’s a gold gif! H/M aside. What’s your all-time favourite comic and why? I get that this might be hard, esp if you’re REALLY into different artists/time periods. But anywho.. If you’ve got more than one, feel free to get a list together :) If you’ve got the time.

Pearl clutching is right! I love the way he’s sidestepping to his right too!

I stopped reading comics regularly back in 2001-2002, and there are a lot of good stories that I haven’t read. Off hand, the one that comes to mind is probably Grant Morrison’s JLA, (volume 1) issues 1-4, particularly number 3 since it’s Batman alone against the Hyperclan. It works so well because it highlights Batman’s detective abilities.

There are probably others, but that is just what comes to mind right now.

Also, I always loved Brian Bolland’s Wonder Woman covers.

And this cover for Spider-Woman:

And this Spider-Woman story about the man who couldn’t die unless he found someone willing to die with him. (I always liked it since I read it as a kid.)

That’s all I can think of offhand.
