Most Awesome Moments in Marvel Comics Appreciation 2024

More 80's. When Spider-Man took out the X-men.

I remember seeing the cover and thinking this was going to be a knock down, drag out fight. I thought there would be several pages alone devoted to Spider-Man and Wolverine's encounter. And then I saw this:

Part of me was deflated. And then part of me realized hey you know what that makes sense.

Final post for the night. As cliche as it sounds, Peter Parker first discovering his powers and the Crusher Hogan scenes are some of my favorite awesome moments:

Skurge's sacrifice in Hel from Thor #362. One of the best moments in all of comics imo.

Yeah, this one still gets me choked up when I reread that issue.

We've seen all of these pages, probably dozens of times. They've all be retold and redone by scores of artists and writers. However, I can still remember reading the reprints of Amazing Fantasy #15, a story published several decades prior, in my local library and being absolutely captivated. The wall-crawling, the crushing of the pipe, Peter going against Crusher Hogan, the first use of the web-shooters, this was (no pun intended) amazing stuff. Looking over it now and I'm still floored by it.

This was before the "Wolverine can beat ANYBODY era". I fondly remember Sabretooth showing up to give Wolverine his annual Birthday Beatdown.

That's interesting to read. I was brought up in the "Wolverine can beat ANYBODY era" so I was really surprised to see Wolverine casually backhanded like that. I remember talking about this scene with some Spider-Man fans and they totally loved it.

Need to reread it again, but the three Thors vs. Gorr the God-Butcher was awesome. Went across a number of issues:

Same here. That was a powerful scene.

One of my favorite moments from the Priest's Black Panther run. Tons of cool scenes there, but the one that cemented T'Challa being a badass was this, where he used thinking, strategy, and skill:

Mary Jane proving to Peter that she isn't just some girl who's all about fun:

Remember seeing this post and being floored. Made me realize that at the end of the day, for all of his scheming and plotting, Thanos has a mean left hook:

Saw some YouTube shorts of the "What If...?" series Spider's Shadow. This is if Spider-Man kept his symbiote. Honestly, part of me felt like I was watching a horror film. If Spider-Man kept that symbiote and went all in villain, yeah, it would be really scary. I like this scene the best, since the Sinister Six usually intimidates and overwhelms Spider-Man. Heck, we see some classic Mysterio tricks. In this case, however, none of those things work. Part of me was actually praying that the villains brought in lethal ordinance.
