Four Perfect Moments: YOUR MIND = BLOWN

[kali921]

Flist.

A warning here, even for the people that never go near comics.

See, many have observed that the medium of comics can do what no other medium can.

YOU WILL NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS POST WITHOUT YOUR MIND BEING BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS.So I saw that over on Scans Daily 2.0 no one has posted a One Perfect Moment for the Silvery Scion of Zenn-La

I love that second set. Galactus offering to take away his guilt, and the Norrin refusing.

I loved all of Annihilation, though.

Not much more need be said. There was very, very little NOT to love on a visual, philosophical, and intellectual level.

And Ronan the Accuser BREAKING HIS FUCKING COSMI-ROD ON RAVENOUS' HEAD.

That and the Galactus-cannon.

GALACTUS CANNON.

Silver Surfer: Requiem is one of the few comics where I needed to be alone for a bit after reading. The final Y: The Last Man was another.

Oh, I know many a man -- emotionally reserved men not prone to tears -- who told me that they wept openly eight pages into the first issue of Requiem and didn't stop the whole way through. I still can't read the last issue, with Norrin back on Zenn-La, without losing my shit entirely.

"Humble and kind" doesn't begin to cover it. He is the walking avatar of compassion, of nobility, of selfless sacrifice, of altruism, of everything good in the universe. He has not a selfish bone in his body.

WITH GOOD REASON.

Silver Surfer: Requiem

I remember reading it on a torrent (because I couldn't get the trade), and it made me cry. Honestly moved me to tears. I read comics well... because they bring me unalloyed joy, even when my heart is ripped out of my chest, gasping and beating on the desk before me.

Yes. My heart was nothing but ground chuck after reading it. It was the Platonic ideal of how to write a good character death.
