Out of Context Comics

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.

Bro forgot to put on his skin after leaving the house

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 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

I actually just genuinely know this one. It's in the movie!

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.

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 34 points 15 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.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

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 7 hours ago

You're the real superhero.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 9 points 13 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 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Spoilers yadda yadda

Is it really controversial to say “framing superman as the threat we need to unite the world against to stop nuclear armageddon” is a better plotline than “I’m going to make it look like aliens attacked us, but in the goofiest way possible, with a plot device necessitating the existence of real psychics in a world that hitherto otherwise seemed to only have Dr. Manhattan as a genuine “otherworldly force””? Reading the graphic novels really threw me for a loop when that scheme was explained, lol.

best graphic novel I ever read

[–] Celediel@slrpnk.net 16 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] chryan@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 8 points 14 hours ago

Hahahaha The Watchmen! One of my favorite graphic novels.
