Out of Context Comics

1114 readers

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I don't turn around for anything once I've left.

Well this is the only out of context comic panel I actually know, thus far.

[–] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

It is also the first one I uploaded,so there is a 100% correlation :)

That single panel gives me goosebumps!
It's like a 1 sentence sci-fi horror story.

(also, why is that one dude on his hands and knees?)

He's collapsing and turning away in horror.

This makes me feel inspired to share random quotes that never happened

Ok, I think I'm gonna need some context for this one, I'm actually pretty intrigued

Edit: thanks for the context! It all makes sense now. I've seen the movie a couple times in the past, just never read the graphic novel.

best graphic novel I ever read

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 34 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Here's the scene in the movie adaptation with Billy Crudup playing the guy in the comic here. I 100% recommend reading the Watchmen graphic novel (the only graphic novel on Time's Top 100 Novels of All Time list), but definitely worth seeing this part in motion.

Man that is fucking wild, the enshitification. Fucking November 14th is still not even over and it's already a best-selling graphic novel and feature film.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

You're the real superhero.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

As an aside, the one thing the movie did better than the book was Ozymandias' plan and execution.

[–] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

That's a bold take that I don't see many people take, who read the comics lol. May I ask why you view that?

Phillip Glass music makes everything amazing

It's Dr Manhattan's origin in Watchmen, chapter 4.

[–] chryan@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

I believe this is from the Watchmen comic, where Dr Manhattan is attempting to rematerialize from being blasted by his own experiment.
