Most Awesome Moments in Marvel Comics Appreciation 2022

[Tien Long]

Hi all. Just wanted to make a thread devoted to the most awesome moments in Marvel Comics. This is for those moments that were amazing, spectacular, fantastic, and uncanny. It's for those scenes that shocked and surprised you, that made you go "wow," and that still resonate with you years later. They can be badass or tender, well-known or particular. In short whichever moments that were awesome.

To get an idea, here are some of my favorites:

The original Secret Wars is a favorite of mine. I've heard some posters say that a lot of the characters were op'd at the time, but wow they pulled off some good stuff. Of course there's the iconic cover of Hulk holding up the mountain range from the original Secret Wars:


But some of my favorite scenes are the ones that aren't well known. For instance, I always thought it was cool to see how the heroes escaped the mountain, through a combination of Mr. Fantastic's science and the powers of Human Torch, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man:


Or how Iron Man and Hawkeye shoot down on coming debris:

Spider-Man lifting of the rubble is classic:



For me though, I appreciate the homages. My first exposure was Mark Bagley's rendition:

And JRJr would do it twice during his run with J. Michael Stracynski (apologies can only find the one time):
