Only read Invincible #50 and Trinity #2, but nothing stood out to me as distinctly quotable yet.....stay tuned! |

Dude!
I just got my comics today, and all I got was Invincible #50, Goon, and The Umbrella Academy tpb.
I decided to swing by the site and saw this thread, and I laughed to myself after reading the title thinking, "oh yeah I bet I got one to beat what ever it is that he put down!" Only to click the link and see you already got it.
Man I love The Goon.

"Do you have any idea how weird it is to find out you're a god?..No, wait, to find out that your FATHER is a god? In fact, that he's the god you've been worshipping all your life? But that he's not all-knowing and all-seeing and wise and wonderful...instead, he's pretty much a jerk?---Hercules, The Incredible Hercules 116.

"You wanna floppy-neck him to death or borrow my gun?"--"The Goon" #28.
Damn that Mr. Powell for making me laugh at things I shouldn't laugh about.
Worst line of the week: "Yeah, well my god has a hammer"-Nick Fury, in "Secret Invasion" #6

I guess it's one of those "you had to be there" type things for me to appreciate, because I actually thought the Secret Invasion quote wasn't that bad. Just reading these quotes to myself, Nick Fury's remark sounds a whole lot cooler, as I caught the Thor reference. While the Goonquote sounds snappy and witty.....I don't have the context or background to get the full effect of the delivery. Nick Fury's line however, I don't need any setup. But who am I to say? After all, this thread is for quotes that strike the fancy of the individual reader! |

Yeah, put me in the "liked it" camp for the hammer line. Although, I'd have to say the worst line of the week does come from Secret Invasion #6:
"Aye!" Ares, Secret Invasion #6.
What's the point of having a character say something, if all he's really saying is "yeah!"?

For me, from Marvel Apes 2.....the drunk Watcher-Ape...
"Because what would you do if YOU had to watch everything all the time? Do you think everything is interesting all the time or inspiring? Or even a little encouraging? So sometimes when I'm watching everything all the time, I tie one on. Because you have to. You have to. No, listen, you have have to.

I'm a bit behind on my reading, but I'd thought I'd contribute something that struck me as funny. From Amazing Spider-Man #569 a few weeks back..... Ben Urich: What does Osborn think?....That he can wave a magic wand and everyone will forget who he really is? Peter Parker: Right. ' Cause that'd be crazy.  Love how the book can poke fun at itself, and not take itself to seriously! |
