Debate: (8) Avengers Single Panel

[The Night Phantom]

I thought it would be nice to discuss the candidates in each Jarvis category. Since there are a lot of categories, some of which have a lot of candidates, it might make sense to discuss each category in its own thread.

8. BEST AVENGERS SINGLE PANEL of 2006

+ The Sentry arrives to take on the Collective (New Avengers #18)

+ All of the Iron Man armors show up to defeat the Adaptoid (New Avengers Annual #1)

+ The Two-Gun Kid returns (She-Hulk #4, final panel)

+ Captain America rides a jet (Civil War #1, p. 37)

+ Captain America betrays Iron Man with glove device (Civil War #3)

+ “The punch” (Civil War #3)

+ Hercules rushes to save Captain America from Iron Man (Civil War #3)

+ The Invisible Woman rescues the Anti-Registration forces "Get out of here. Now." (Civil War #4)

+ Captain America says, "I'm thinking," when he considers letting the Punisher on his team (Civil War #5)

+ Spider-Man overrides Tony Stark's override, knocks the crap out of him (Amazing Spider-Man #536, p. 6)

+ Hawkeye kills the bad guys with his fingernails (Ultimates 2 #10)

+ The Avengers and the Young Avengers unite in battle, with Captain America and Hulkling crying, “Avengers Assemble!!!” (Young Avengers #12, p. 4–5)

Another myriad of choices. Certainly Civil War is a favorite in this category! Although I was disappointed with that series in general, I will give consideration to the CW nominees above. I don’t think I can say much about the nominees generally without reviewing them. (I’ve read all of them except the Ultimates entry.) My nominee was the last, from YA. The double-page single panel splash is a poster-worthy moment that calls up the spirit of the Avengers.

Penny for your thoughts? (Virtual money only…)

I nominated the punch, but upon further review I think that Hawkeye pulling a Bullseye is about as great as it can get. Fingernails!

I actually didn't care for the Hawkeye bit because it was SO Bullseye.

I nominated the Iron Man scene from NA Annual #1. Just a great visual, and a pretty good solution to the villain problem of that issue.

Too bad all of NA can't be as good as that annual. I'd have given it a C, but then given that I'd give the ongoing series a D-/F, it looked good by comparison!

I loved spidey popping Tony

You knew the entire time , Stark being the sneak he is, that he would boobytrap spideys armor.

and, you knew spidey, knowing Stark is a weasel, would've figured it out and had a surprise for him.

I'm just a little surprised that they didn't have Stark seeing this happen and having a counter surprise in store.
