One Perfect Moment - How to get Batman's attention FAST!

[icon_uk]

Look, it's "One Perfect Moment" week, it's me... you KNOW I had to do one of these, right?

You're a new villain, you want to make a splash, make a name for yourself. For that you need Batman as your nemesis, and how do you go about getting him to even notice you, after all, it's not like Gotham isn't awash with bad guys already...

( You could send flowers, or chocolates, or write him a letter or... )

And at no extra charge, ANOTHER One Perfect Moment from only two pages later in the same issue

Not One Perfect Moment, but it should be - The Black Cat's Aquafamily!

[icon_uk]

Alas, the rules of OPM week mean that The Black Cat doesn't count as canon, but let's face it, given half a chance, we'd want it to be.

Her next series of images are going to be "Superhero Family's", her work with the Batclan goes without saying, and we've recently seen the Super-family, and the Women of Wonder.

So perhaps one of the next most populous family's get's a look in...( Click for sub-aquatic cuteness! )

One Perfect Moment Week: Fantasio

[nezchan]

Since icon_uk made a post about the ultimate sidekick, Obelix, I figured I'd post a Perfect Moment from one of the other great Franco-Belgian sidekicks, Fantasio.

One Perfect Moment - Obelix the Gaul

[icon_uk]

I note, with a little embarrassment, that my OPM posts have been entirely US comic based (even if one was an English writer writing about a Scottish Mutant on a British superteam), so before things come to a close, one Continental moment, and if I can manage it later, a Japanese one.

2 pages out of 40 from Asterix the Legionary, one of my favourite Asterix books.

Batman: Did you know my parents are dead? Trufax!

[perletwo]

These days I don't often make a comics score at thrift stores - if I do find any they're marked according to Overstreet - but I did come up with a 12-page "special collector's edition" issue of Batman done in partnership with Kemco and inserted with the "Batman: Dark Tomorrow" game. It has lots of villains - Poison Ivy, Ventriloquist and Scarface, Killer Croc - visits with both Gordons, and guess what? Batman's 1878597879876724th Crime Alley Flashback. Two pages of 12.

One Perfect Moment: of the Fables kind

I continue to be the weird one that just takes 2 lines of dialogue and runs with it as "holy crap, this describes everything!"

How to Mess Up Your Kid in Three Easy Steps

[katzedecimal]

Back in the '80s, Elaine Lee and Mike W. Kaluta produced a space-opera comic called Starstruck! This work was marvellously complex, almost to the point of opaque, and required the engagement of so many braincells that one reader complained "When I buy a comic book for 7 dollars, I don't expect to have to spend over an hour to read it" -- that one was promptly chucked into the "Doesn't Get It And Never Will" bin :3

Starstruck was resurrected in the early '90s by Dark Horse, this time expanded with additional art and story additions that clarified.. well not very much, admittedly, but it just made a good thing even better (if you like using your braincells when reading comic books, that is) Alas, it was dropped before the expanded story could be finished. Then last year, IDW picked it up and now we have Starstruck, expanded and with fresh new colour by Lee Moyer.

Therefore I present to you, the deeply cerebral readers of Scans Daily, what I consider to be one of the best sequences of the book.

Lo there do I see...

"Lo do I see my father,
lo do I see my mother,
lo do I see my sisters and my brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people,
back to the beginning.
Lo they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
where the brave may live forever."

One Perfect Moment: Norman Osborn

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers! This is my last post for OPM week and it's one of my favorites, for two reasons.

1. This issue of "Spider-Man's Tangled Web" features one of the best parts of any comic-verse. The villain bar. I love scenes of villains just hanging out, grousing about heroes, comparing notes and relaxing. Which is why I included a few scans of just that.

2. This story is an example of the fact that Norman Osborn doesn't need a costume, glider or control of an international martial agency to be one of the scariest motherfuckers on the planet.

Enjoy!

One Perfect Moment Week: Spip

Since I already did a OPM post for Fantasio, then it only makes sense I do one for Spirou's other lifelong companion, Spip.

One Perfect Moment: Steve and Wulf, The Forty-Niners

[halloweenjack]

This is from the America's Best Comics Top 10 prequel, The Forty-Niners by Alan Moore and Gene Ha. The story concerns the early days of Neopolis, the superhero-only city that was founded after World War II. One of the major subplots involves Steve Trainor, the young aviation hero known as Jetlad (think Airboy) and his growing awareness that he's attracted to Wulf of the Skysharks (think Hendrickson of the Blackhawks). This scene takes place at the end of the story, after Steve has helped save the city from Sharkey, the PTSD-afflicted former head of the Skysharks who had attempted a military takeover of the city.

Okay, I was wrong THIS will be my last post for One Perfect Moment week.

Following on from recent discussions about the Riddler and how hard he is to write well, a rather appropriate couple of pages from Batman Adventures #10, as an inmate is released from Gotham State Penitentiary...
