I was going to show some kind of team-up or fighting panel between the X-Men and the Agents of Atlas on that last one, but then the last several pages had to turn into Fetish City, USA.
I think the Batman Confidential panel is the most awesome example of a panel taken out of context.
Though I imagine it was ridiculous in context as well. What actually happened? Or do I have to just pick it up?

by Drakyn November 8th, 2009 at 16:01 --reply“Before man was here, terrorism existed. Terrorists will be here after he leaves. Since the very first massive barrage of fringe-group asteroids and cosmic dust committed a suicide bombardment on Earth’s cooling surface, terrorism has dwelt on this planet. And it will not leave until the dying sun swallows it up.”
I’m liking the current trend of Confidential of having good stories.
also neat, was starting to think i was the only person on earth reading the Mighty.
question though, any of you guys reading Doom Patrol? I’d highly recommend reading the Metal men backups at the shop when no one is looking at you, great stuff.
by nathan November 8th, 2009 at 20:37 --reply@CasinoGrande: It doesn’t really have much context. Batman followed clues to a graveyard. There was a giant nazi robot octopus there. It sucked down the Batjet, and Batman blew the jet up and the octopus along with it.
It’s kind of like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea only with more nazis and less sea.

by edc November 9th, 2009 at 05:13 --replyexcellent stuff.
So how do you train to fight a giant Nazi robot octopus? The training used to fight a regular giant octopus would be useless against the Nazi robot fighting style.
by CasinoGrande November 9th, 2009 at 07:16 --replyWell, you see Casino Grande, the Nazi Octapus style is descended from the combat style of the great old ones, so Batman’s anti-cthulhu plan comes into play.
Of course, normally Batman would use a steamboat, but he’d been caught off guard.
by Bret November 9th, 2009 at 08:40 --reply@Esther Inglis-Arkell: This is what good comics should be.
by Nathan November 9th, 2009 at 15:56 --replyDoes this mean they killed off Batroc?
by Bill Reed November 9th, 2009 at 20:29 --reply@Bill Reed: The next panel shows him being shot up by soldiers with the narration that “He was the first to go.” But it’s the House of M universe, so it doesn’t matter.
