What's your favorite quote from a comic?

[dover]

Daredevil 191, IMHO the best story ever written, hands down.

 

"when at last, at long last, I've got you set squarely in my sights...and I smell your fear...and it is sweet to smell... when it comes to the one final, fatal act of ending you.....my gun has no bullets."

 

Daredevil to Bullseye. It seems to sum up every super hero totured by the desire to kill the bad guy, but not being capable.

 

also by that Miller guy in an earlier issue: Bullseye to Elektra:

 

"your good, real good.....but me I'm magic"

[Fireboy]

[mikeyboy9000]

"It's clobberin time!"

 

and the sequence from kingdom come with Cpt Marvel. With the Bomb... The quotes' nothing special but in the scene it's 100 proof awesome

 

"shazam,shazam, shazam, shazam..."

 

And now something for anyone who read just about any flash comic with wally in starring in it.

 

"My name is Wally West and I'm the fastest man alive"

 

[joe_collector]

"You're good, baby, I'll give you that... but me? I'm magic."

 

 

Classic

 

Agreed. And from the same issue - "You'll never hurt anyone...again."

 

Frank Miller is a quote machine, and Dark Knight Returns is just full of memorable lines.

Another Miller classic:

 

"I'm going to save your life, Bullseye..." [roundhouse kicks him in the gut] "...even if I have to beat you senseless to do it."

 

from DD 169

[Rook]

Punisher Vol 3, issue 3

 

Punisher (to Daredevil) "If you don't shoot you've got a death on your conscience, a death you could have prevented. If you do shoot, you're a killer."

Daredevil, "What kind of a choice is that?"

Punisher, "The one I make every time I pull the trigger."

 

Always thought that summed up Frank pretty well.

Not a comic, but based on a character many know and love.

 

TRIBAL CHIEF: "Conan, what is best in life?"

 

CONAN: "To crush your enemies - see them driven before you - and to hear the lamentation of their women!"

 

[davidpg]

"You know what they say: Spare the rod, and kick the shrubbery around."

 

The Tick #1 (pretty sure, anyway).

[Moondog]

"Mere loquaciousness does not vanquish an adversary."

 

Anyone recognize it? First time I read it I was 13 and it blew me away.

[innocuous]

Stan Lee :shrug:

[s-man]

"Mere loquaciousness does not vanquish an adversary."

 

Anyone recognize it? First time I read it I was 13 and it blew me away.

 

 

The Beast said it

"Mere loquaciousness does not vanquish an adversary."

 

Anyone recognize it? First time I read it I was 13 and it blew me away.

 

 

The Beast said it

 

who else would use the big words?

 

...maybe V

[Bosco685]

The Beast in a very early Uncanny X-Men. I believe during the Stan Lee writing days, but I cannot remember the issue.

I'm really paraphrasing here, but one of my most recent fav' lines has been in "Y The Last Man", something like this...

"No need to fret. Both Pawn and Queen end up in the same box."

[Leescomics]

I don't know if this has been covered, but this is one of my favorite lines:

 

Setting it up...

 

(Judge Death) "Gaze into the Face of Fear..."

 

(Judge Dredd)

[hesdeadjim]

great choice! (thumbs u

 

"Gaze into the face of fear!" - Judge Fear to Judge Dredd

 

[CAP Freak]

I'm really paraphrasing here, but one of my most recent fav' lines has been in "Y The Last Man", something like this...

"No need to fret. Both Pawn and Queen end up in the same box."

It was along the lines of "I hate barking orders like that. Rest assured, when the game is over both Pawn and Queen end up in the same box."

 

Although from my least favorite character
