This Character in Panels (1 of 3)
July 24th, 2013 by Gavok | Tags: panels, this character in panelsThe other day, my regular series This Week in Panels hit the glorious Week 200. In preparation, I asked for assistance in putting together this special article This Character in Panels. Well, you guys didn’t disappoint. I got a shitload of entries from all around. It was overwhelming in the sense that a job I thought would take just a couple hours instead took me until today. Also, because of the many images involved, I’ve decided to split this into three parts, posting one a day.
The basic idea is to showcase one panel of a character’s history that best sums them up. It might be serious. It might be funny. It might not even have them in the panel at all! I got a lot of stuff from readers and people at the Something Awful forum and even had to ignore a bunch of entries because either they gave me splash pages (which I never use for these) or the complete lack of issue information.
Hell, I wanted to use that infamous, “PUNISHMENT DAY!” panel of Punisher 2099, but I have no idea which issue it’s from, so I passed. Regardless, thanks to everyone who helped out.
Oh, and I’m not listing the volume information for any of these. I have enough headaches as is.
Let’s start it off from A to G.

Check back tomorrow to see a Green Lantern’s buttcheeks!
Ha, I love this. I was thinking of sending some, but this is the sort of thing where I try to think of specific things, nothing ever comes to mind. Well that and I just kind of forgot about it.
I should have at least tried to get a good Lois Lane one.

by Esco July 25th, 2013 at 23:31 --replyMan, it’s awesome having a panel I submitted be a part of this! Thanks again for setting it all up, Gavin!
by Ben Gebhart July 26th, 2013 at 03:42 --replyWho is Batgirl talking to in that panel?
