Helloooo I'm putting together something for the server where I'm looking to gather a collection of iconic moments in Marvel, and I need some help with comics!

Please do share your favourite comic moments here

  • I've got a bit of a general bias towards highlighting more recent comics, think post-2000s
    • but if there's a really iconic moment (like Spidey in Secret Wars '84 etc) that's also cool too
  • something that's captured in art - a single moment not like a storyline
    • if you can send the art too that's even better :)
    • but no stress i'm more than happy to hunt them down myself too
  • "iconic" ie memorable and significant. Badass or funny panels are cool but not what I'm looking for here

I'm looking for as many as you're willing to share! Thank you in advance :)

just pinging a few #comics regulars if you don't mind

🙏

#

I'd try and gather these moments myself but I've got my own favouritism biases and i think it'd be cool to get everybody's own picks in for this

#

A few of my favourites from recent-times

  • introduction to the Council of Reeds (Hickman)
  • reveal of Jane as Thor (Aaron)
  • Daredevil white suit in hell (end of Zdarsky's run)
  • Incursion in New Avengers (Hickman)
  • Arrakko terraform (Hellfire Gala Duggan)
  • Strange God of Magic (Cates)

i'm staring at my bookshelf and racking my brain way harder than i should for this stuff lol, not sure if these all count as iconic but that's something that i can filter through at a later stage

#
  • Reed v Doom end of (Secret Wars Hickman)
  • Venom w unipower in (King in Black Cates)
  • Star Lord as Master of the Sun (Guardians Ewing)
  • Storm meeting Doom after the Gala (X-Men Red Ewing)
  • (anything) Jeff (It's Jeff! Infinity Comic by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru)

  • something Ultimates (Invasion, Spidey Hickman and/or Ultimates Camp, can't immediately think of a highlight moment rn though)
  • Ms Marvel debut (GWW)
  • Phoenix Five (AvX)
  • Cap v Iron Man (Civil War)
  • Skrulls at start of invasion (Secret Invasion)
  • Hydra Cap (Spencer)
  • something Spider-Verse (Bendis)

Not sure if this qualifies but this is probably the moment that stuck with me most of Zdarsky’s DD

This one is truly iconic

calm goblet

ok this is the huge grid i'll be filling up.... i'll very happily take anything and everything you've got

viscid isle
#

I'll give it some more thought. We're only doing Marvel stuff right?

calm goblet
#

Yup only Marvel

#

No need to be particularly picky about them, it's a lot easier for me to cull a list lol

calm goblet

#

Magneto has a lot of them

#

Welp
As the Black Panther fan I have to include two moments relating to Killmonger
When he threw T'Challa off the cliff in Jungle Action #6 and when he became Black Panther himself in Black Panther #21

viscid isle
#

Some pages from McKay’s Moon Knight, you can pick whichever one you find best suited (if any)

#

And some Wolverine

floral kestrel
viscid isle
#

Haha nice

#

My phone wallpapers are screenshots of Jeff

#

Currently I’m rocking cheese Jeff

thin tundra

#

Another iconic Black Panther moment is when he revealed that he only joined the Avengers to spy on them

thin tundra

#

I will make a list of Blade moments which I can gather images for later (since I am busy now)

  • When Blade was bitten by Morbius
  • When Blade defeated Deacon Frost
  • When he said that "there are worse things out tonight than vampires"
  • When he stabbed Zarathos
  • When he first killed Dracula
#

Oh yeah
I should also include another Black Panther moment
Which is when he called upon every Black Panther to help fix Wakanda

thin tundra
#

One of these pages of Jonny in the negative zone gotta be up there, idk which one to choose so I'll just send 3

floral kestrel
#

what abt the moment from blood hunt when MK is revived

calm goblet
#

oo all of this is great tysm

white briar
#

When it comes down to iconic it’s gotta be the hulk and sentry clash from World War hulk

candid zealot
calm goblet
#

yeah absolutely tysm

primal tusk
#

Danny Ketch showing up redefined Ghost Rider for 30 years, that’s pretty iconic

empty shard
#

Oh yeah
Another one is when the Nightstalkers threaten Johnny Blaze

viscid isle
torpid python
#

Pete and MJ's first kiss from ASM #143

empty shard
#

Here are 4 iconic Wolverine moments

#

The third one doesn't look as good as I wanted to

empty shard
#

Like
He doesn't even looked shocked or surprised like the text shows

primal tusk
#

Blonde guy looks shocked

empty shard
#

Oh yeah
Two from Old Man Logan
One when he finally defeats the Hulk (who killed his family)
And the other when he realized he accidentally killed the X-Men

#

And one from Enemy of The State when he fully turned

#

Ofcourse Wolverine's final promise to Mariko

#

Oh yeah
I need to look into iconic Punisher moments
Only one comes to mind rn

#

Maybe later

thin tundra
candid zealot
#

oh these two are good

thin tundra
#

not a good story but

primal tusk

echo cape
nocturne path
#

And this should be here

candid zealot
#

Norman going all goblin again should fit right

nocturne path
#

This one, 3 different adaptations and atleast 18 different modern cover references

viscid isle
#

Yeah I wanted to share that one as well but I completely forgot which issue it's from

viscid isle
#

Ahh, for some reason I had in my head that it's from the annual with the first Sinister 6 appearance

nocturne path
#

And for sheer hate that everyone has for the modern direction of Spidey

Here's the one that started it all

viscid isle
#

Do have to say, it's a pretty sick drawing

nocturne path
#

I'm surprised no one pulled that Doom panel yet

#

It's shared every weekend on reddit

nocturne path
#

I have 30 other Doom panels in mind but since we're going for iconic then this must be the one

lone raft
lone raft
#

well, my left

#

technically it's Sentry's right

candid zealot
#

Noh Varr

lone raft
#

i didnt know he was on the dark avengers

candid zealot
#

He was there temporarily

#

He left early

lone raft
#

ah ok

candid zealot
#

Trying so hard to limit bendisvengers stuff but like... half the big avengers moments happened when he was at the helm

viscid isle
#

I mean Rocked did say it's easier to scrap pictures than it is to find new ones

candid zealot
#

True

#

Sentry killing Ares is up there

#

Even if it oddly wont send 😭

#

3 tries I give up

#

And Knull killing Sentry the same way

lone raft
#

Annihilation: Nova #1 - Richard Rider receives the full Nova Force and gains the new suit to help him control the power.

viscid isle
#

Imo him and Chechetto is where it's at these days, those 2 keep knocking it out of the park

#

The Skrull retcon was dumb as f... Let's not get carried away in here

candid zealot
#

Acting like Hulk couldn't beat the goofy outta Black Bolt in 5 seconds is wild work

#

Dude got punked by the Vox. The Vox are Carol victims

#

Put real Black Bolt in that situation, give him a day to prepare he's not winning 😭

abstract apex
#

Is black bolt alive?

candid zealot
#

Yes

abstract apex
#

So there’s at least one living black bolt in the multiverse

white briar
#

Plus NOBODY cares about secret invasion

candid zealot
#

Secret Invasion is pretty important. Leds to Dark Reign

calm goblet
#

Oh man these are all great

#

Tysm

#

Please do keep them coming!

thin tundra
nocturne path
#

This one is a bit unorthodox so idk

thin tundra
#

The God Butcher first appearance

nocturne path
#

Imo these are the highlights of Ultimate Invasion

#

The first one is just cinematic

nocturne path
thin tundra

#

Just The Maker doing funny man shit

thin tundra
#

Tbf I already saw the first two pages somewhere

nocturne path
#

The Maker is 10x better after reading SW

#

He just gets a breath of character depth

#

I have to get my most iconic Stark panels to make up for the amount of hate I spread about him yesterday

#

Endosym is great

#

I'm sure I have something

thin tundra
#

I should prob to the same for Captain Marvel

nocturne path
#

Jk I have one from Siege

thin tundra
#

This is the best I could come up with

#

Tho she's Ms Marvel here

lone raft
#

Acting like Hulk is cooking Black Bolt is insanity

lone raft
#

Pak was reaching

#

Glad it wasn't the real one

#

it for sure took away from the story

#

not my problem though

#

if Pak had it his way for that storyline, he'd have that Hulk beat Silver Surfer, Nova Prime, Thanos, Odin etc.

lone raft

Nova Vol 4 #14

#

At least, I think it's #14

candid zealot
#

Plus him jobbing to the Vox in Death of Inhumans does him no favors. Carol was working the Vox and she's a Hulk turbovictim

lone raft
#

and not just hulk, he does the same with other 100 tonners

candid zealot
#

At that point Hulk was too angry, he was much stronger than previous encounters

lone raft
candid zealot
#

He ran through most people that could face him prior. Beat up Ben Grimm, snapped Colossus' arms

lone raft
lone raft
#

You mean when every hit from Ben Grimm left him bleeding?

#

When Hercules stopped his attack?

#

When he was getting matched by full power Juggernaut?

#

Who exactly did he fodderize that was a match for him previously?

candid zealot
lone raft
#

(when he has cosmic control rod)

candid zealot
#

Hulk legit ran through most of heroes, got to ben, whooped him, and kept going

candid zealot
#

Then he beat up ross and the military. Beat up strange. And fought Sentry

lone raft
#

he stopped Ares, who isn't a Class 100 on the level of Thor

#

and his warbound are actually quite powerful

#

Korg before even WWH was literally giving Thor a good fight

#

and had other moments that clearly showed he was in the ballpark with Savage Hulk and Thor without OF

lone raft
#

Pak didn't glaze Hulk to oblivion

#

Zom strange was brutalizing Hulk for the entire fight

#

until he stopped lol

#

i should specify that it was for the entire time he was on offense

#

because the moment his mentality changed he got cooked

lone raft
#

and beating the Hulkbuster was cool too

candid zealot
#

True

lone raft
#

the entire event was cool

#

easily one of my favorites in marvel comics

candid zealot
#

I feel like that Sentry fight holds a lot of weight. He had already run a gauntlet of people who were in his ballpark then got to him

#

Sentry at that point in time was at his peak glaze

lone raft
#

we saw him run through someone who only gives him a fight when he's holding back as Savage Hulk (Ben Grimm)

#

we saw him stomp ares, who isn't on the physical level of Hercules or Thor

#

his warbound assisted him with She Hulk's team of heroes which included Wonder Man and Doc Samson

#

the only solid moment we saw was when he almost killed Hercules in 3 blows

candid zealot
#

The Warbound beat most of that team yeah but he ran through a lot of threats, not just physical powerhouses. He beat Sue

lone raft
lone raft
#

she would've turned invisible or turned her husband invisible when Hulk was attacking him

#

Sue Storm is the ultimate support in marvel

candid zealot
#

Win is a win 😭

lone raft
#

but sure, he busted through Sue's shield

#

which is impressive

#

UNFORTUNATELY

#

Hercules stopped his attack

#

and he was matched by full power Juggernaut

#

two characters in the same ballpark as Thor without Odinforce

#

I didn't write the comic, Greg did

#

yet when someone asked Greg how would OF Thor fare

#

what did greg say?

#

Spoiler alert

#

he glazed Hulk

#

i should've saved that screenshot of his response

#

something like "I wouldn't want to be Thor in that situation"

#

admittedly, that's not the worst thing he could've said

#

so it's not super hard glaze

candid zealot

#

You just provided the biggest example of a authors pet lol

#

Thanos might as well be starlin’s son

#

With the treatment he gets

she two shotted Blastaar in one of her books

candid zealot
#

Like if you're getting worked on the physical side by someone who isnt decisively stronger than carol then like.... thats tough

white briar
#

I’m sorry that’s what it was bro

candid zealot

Thanos is the final boss type

You cant have him job in stupid ways, that lessens their impact

white briar
#

Corny bra

nocturne path
#

Erm... Guys I have to assume that it would be easier for Rocked if this thread is kept solely for the iconic panels instead of comic critique smart

lone raft
#

as for the Thor loss, that may have just been a moment of him wanting to use Thanos after a writer killed him off

white briar
#

Take the L and move on happens to anyone

candid zealot
#

Lets go to comics yeah 😭

lone raft
#

you shouldnt get the L to begin with

#

good thing he had Daddy Starlin

#

he made sure Thanos was consistent

white briar
#

I’ll post another iconic marvel moment in a bit

lone raft
#

World War Hulk: X-men #3 - Hulk vs Juggernaut

#

Guess who was the artist 💫

#

the man himself, Andrea Divito

#

and if that name does not ring a bell, it's the man who was responsible for PEAK

nocturne path
#

I just realized something ohgod

Is it better to send a moment with or without the text?

white briar
lone raft
nocturne path
#

Ah very well then

lone raft
#

otherwise, it doesn't really matter imo

calm goblet
#

lol honestly the captain marvel logo is more for legacy and icon purposes more than anything at this point

#

i loved the character when i first made it, and i still do (but to a lesser extent)

#

not to the same amount that i'd go and set her logo as my pfp today, but it's what i've been rolling with since like 2017 so i'm sticking with it to eternity now

lone raft
calm goblet
#

that said, Thompson Captain Marvel chefskiss

#

you see

#

i am terrible at ranking

#

i do love the character though and Thompson's CM definitely solidified her as one of my favourites

#

less invested with her atm since Wong's run was a bit meh and she's great in MacKay's Avengers but that's about it rn

calm goblet
#

although

#

i'm prioritising stuff that's photogenic

#

not a stipulation or condition but i'm finding myself generally prioritising the ones that look cool at face value and not because you can zoom in and read the text

#

but then like, got this

#

so its happily a big mix

primal tusk
#

If the god butcher arc counts

calm goblet
#

i'm sure people may be able to figure out what i'm doing if you think about it

nocturne path
#

Absolutely fantasticeyes

#

I have been thinking which one to pick from #588

One of the greatest issues of all time

lone raft
#

lol wait is that Franklin

calm goblet
#

#588 is a tearjerker

#

even when you've read it a million times and know what happens later

lone raft
#

wow

#

so it's like Titanic

calm goblet
#

Fantastic Four #587 (by Hickman) is the issue where Johnny sacrifices himself to seal the gate to the Negative Zone

white briar
#

You wanna talk iconic marvel pages post turn of the century

#

The death of Captain America

And the birth of a new Captain

calm goblet
#

#588 is the weeks of mourning following, almost zero dialogue yet packed with emotion

candid zealot
nocturne path
calm goblet
#

Uncles is a short story at the end which follows Pete and Franklin spending a day together

#

its so sweet

nocturne path
lone raft
#

that sounds deep

calm goblet
#

imo it's the highest highlight of Hickman's entire run

I like the ring of Captains Marvel too much, ik most people would say Captain Marvels

Whew ok I think my comic art tally is at about 70 at the moment

#

Definitely space for a lot more so please do keep them coming

#

Also though if you've got iconic moments from:

  • Marvel TV pre-2021 (AOS, Netflix etc - I haven't quite seen all of them)
  • classic animated shows (the iconic ones like X-Men and Spidey TAS)
  • games (Rivals, Spidey PS, Snap, Contest of Champions, Future Fight, but then also the older stuff I'm less familiar with)

If this isn't iconic, I don't know what is

I think there're more modern references to this moment

Was searching for something Loki related from his original redemption arc and found this

calm goblet

damn i think i need to reread it

#

a) i'm behind and b) i've clearly forgotten what happened

Yeah would definitely recommend it

Loki makes it extra rereadable too since the dynamic is great

i might wait on the eventual omni

and reread it physical
