Hello, and welcome to Saturday Morning Panels! It’s a very simple concept: since none of us are up to watching Saturday morning cartoons anymore, we are instead going to share with you our favorite panels from the week before. It’s a bit like Comics Should Be Cheap, except with more pictures and less reading.
And, of course, SPOILERS are probably abundant.
As a note, this week features some content that is not safe for work. Please keep that in mind when reading, and don’t get in trouble with your boss if you read this column Monday mornings.
We encourage you to play along at home and let us know what your favorite moments of the week were in the comment section! In the meantime, our picks:
“MIND MGMT” #31: The story literally rests on Meru’s shoulders. – Matt Garcia
“Ei8ht” #2: Shoot, you turn the page, hit this image, and it’s like you can feel the impact of the blast yourself. – Matt Garcia
“B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth” #129: I love this touch. Howards has become the popular kid. ― Mark Tweedale
“Howards as folk hero.” – Brian Salvatore
“Chrononauts” #1: Past, meet present. Present, meet past. – Keith Dooley
“Chrononauts” #1: Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth should always work together. – Keith Dooley
“Lumberjanes” #12: I suspect April and I would get along VERY WELL. #CrushAllOpponents – Jess Camacho
“Lumberjanes” #12: I wish my outlines were this well thought out and plotted as Mal’s. – Matt Garcia
“Lumberjanes” #12: “Lumberjanes” literally took the climax of Jurassic Park and it’s just as amazing. – Matt Garcia
“Giant Days” #1: Pure British physical comedy. – Matt Garcia
“Tuki Save the Humans” #3: It’s times like these when I’m super bummed that the next issue won’t be coming out till May. Seriously, people, Jeff Smith is one of the best. THE BEST. – Matt Garcia
“The Kitchen” #5: Even Tommy gets it. – Matt Garcia
“Batgirl” #40: I love these panels from “Batgirl” #40. Side by side, they show that Babs can be fierce and happy without causing hell to freeze over. The fight sequence shows that Burnside’s Batgirl is just as strong and powerful as the character ever was. There is no more perfect ending to Stewart, Fletcher & Tarr’s first arc on the series than seeing Babs dancing happily, feeling alive, and looking forward to a bright future. – Sam LeBas
“Batgirl” #40: That Black Canary book can’t come any sooner. – Keith Dooley
“Superman” #39: It’s nice to have that Lois and Clark dynamic back in the book. – Keith Dooley
“Superman” #39: Between this issue and “Batgirl” #40, I could have filled this column with the entirety of both issues. – Keith Dooley
“Sensation Comics” #8: Ahh, it’s a great thing when Diana has a chance to actually enjoy herself. – Matt Garcia
“Sensation Comics” #8: Also great when she takes charge. Out of every superhero in existence, Wonder Woman’s advice would probably be the one I most heeded. – Matt Garcia
