Line #10 GondorCallsForAid/ComicBooks


1	* In the comic book series ''ComicBook/ElfQuest,'' when two elf tribes -- the Wolfriders and the newly-introduced Go-Backs -- join forces to wage war against the trolls of King Guttlekraw, the elves form a grudging alliance with the trolls formerly led by the late King Greymung, who have been enslaved by Guttlekraw, even though Greymung's trolls have been the hated enemies of the Wolfriders ever since betraying them back at the start of the storyline. The Go-Backs, meanwhile, would never have thought of teaming up with trolls of any kind, period... But it's probably only because of this uneasy alliance that Guttlekraw's trolls are defeated.
2	* ComicBook/TomStrong spent nearly a dozen issues befriending and helping various entities and past enemies. The scenario used them all.... to deal with a ludicrous, never before/ never again seen, dead-in-one-issue menace. This may or may not have been a parody, though.
3	* The climax of the ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'' comic involves the invasion of Heaven by a vast army, Lucifer himself forced to gather together a truly motley group of allies from past stories to defend it. Unfortunately at least one of them wouldn't mind killing him, and none of them particularly like him (or heaven for that matter).
4	* Grant Morrison's run on ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]'' ended with ''the entirety of Earth gaining superpowers'' and joining with the Justice League to fight a potentially galaxy-destroying menace.
5	** This was also something of a bookend moment, as Morrison's run began with an arc where all Earth's people hold up lighters, matches, and torches in order to defeat a Martian invasion (Martians in the DCU being weak against fire.)
6	* Morrison pulled another with ComicBook/FinalCrisis when Mandrakk shows up at the end. Just as he's about to eat the multiverse, in comes the Supermen of every universe, the ComicBook/GreenLantern Corps, the [[ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Zoo Crew]], the new Fifth World gods, and the army of ''Heaven itself.'' [[CurbStompBattle Mandrakk doesn't last long]].
7	* Nearly everyone the [[LegacyCharacter Jaime Reyes]] ''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'' had befriended (and a few of the previous Beetle's old friends, but oddly not the team he was affiliated with at the time) came to the aid of either Beetle himself or his family and closest friends as he [[spoiler:fought off The Reach]] during the "Endgame" arc.
8	* Issue #125 of ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' comic had just about every hero and villain still alive teaming up to fend off an alien invasion.
9	* The first story arc of Creator/KurtBusiek's run on ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' sees virtually all of the (still-living) former Avengers teaming up to fight Morgan le Fay.
10	* In the ''ComicBook/WhatIf: ComicBook/HouseOfM'' one-shot, instead of saying 'no more mutants', ComicBook/ScarletWitch utters 'no more powers', and the result is that every super-powered being throughout the Marvel universe loses their powers. The Red Skull uses this as an opportunity to take control by using the Cosmic Cube, assembling the Hand and HYDRA to use as his army, murdering the remaining active ComicBook/YoungAvengers and the ComicBook/FantasticFour, and announcing his intentions to bring about the Fourth Reich. ComicBook/IronMan creates new armors for the remaining [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]] to wear in order to challenge him, and Cyclops rallies the ComicBook/XMen, armed with Shiar tech, to take out the Red Skull. This fails, resulting in heavy casualties for both the Avengers and X-Men. [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] enters the fray, announcing to the citizens of New York, who were cowering in the shadows, that they can no longer stand by and wait for heroes to save them, and that they are all needed in order to save the world, because it is the responsibility of everyone to stop injustice, powers or no. Peter then leads an army of New Yorkers, many of whom stand no chance of winning (children, the elderly etc), into battle with the Red Skull and his army. [[spoiler:The heroes win.]]
11	* In ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' Tim takes advantage of Ra's al Ghul expecting him to take a leaf out of Bruce's book and try to defend Gotham against the League of Shadows without reaching outside the Batfamily for help. He calls in ComicBook/{{Superboy}} (Kon-El), Kid Flash (Bart), ComicBook/WonderGirl (Cassie), ComicBook/{{Manhunter}} (Kate), ComicBook/{{Huntress}}, Manbat and others and thoroughly dismantles the plan Ra's had set into motion.
12	* In ''ComicBook/Batgirl2009'' #23, Stephanie Brown pulls this by calling in various super-powered girls to help her defeat the Reapers, even trusting Supergirl's superhearing enough to trust that she'd hear the word "Shazam!" from wherever she happened to be at the moment...which happened to be the Hall of Justice.
13	* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' #100, the GrandFinale of the series, has a bunch of former Titans coming together to help the current roster in their battle against the LegionOfDoom.
14	* ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'':
15	** Issue #111 deals with [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara Gordon]] going undercover at a tech convention and ending up in a tight spot with Calculator and Hellhound. Back at headquarters, Misfit gets the idea to text the entire convention list and send them all to Barbara's aid.
16	** Two issues earlier in the GrandFinale of Gail Simone's run, Babs has Huntress call in [[ContinuityCavalcade every operative who ever worked for her]] including Power Girl Savant, Creote and Lady Shiva to intimidate Spy Smasher into leaving.
17	* In ''ComicBook/ThroneOfAtlantis'', When [[spoiler:Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Aquaman]] are captured by Ocean Master, Cyborg, the only Justice League member not captured, connects to the Grid to call for more heroes to aid the League. They include [[ComicBook/{{Metamorpho}} Element Woman]], ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}, ComicBook/BlackLightning, ComicBook/{{Vixen}}, ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}, Black Canary, ComicBook/{{Firestorm\|DCComics}}, ComicBook/TheAtom, and Goldrush.

19	* In ''ComicBook/SerenityLeavesOnTheWind'', Mal tracks down the Operative to help him rescue Zoe after she's arrested by the Alliance. Nobody is happy about this.
20	* The 20th and final issue of the Creator/IDWPublishing ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' comic book ends with an older Jack leading a resistance movement against Aku's fortress. Among the group are many of the allies Jack made and the people he helped out throughout the run of the original show, including the Woolies from "Jack, the Woolies, and the Critchellites", the astronauts from "Jack in Space", Extor from "Jack and the Ultra-robots", and even the baby from "Jack and the Baby" as an adult.
21	* In ''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersShatteredGrid'', Zordon sends out a call to recruit whatever Rangers are still out there to aid in their assault on Lord Drakkon's moon fortress. To the Mighty Morphin' team's surprise, they get a lot - [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce the Quantum Ranger]], [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo the Phantom Ranger]], [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy the Magna Defender]], the [[Series/PowerRangersZeo remains of the Zeo Ranger team and the Gold Ranger]], the Series/PowerRangersWildForce, the [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Wind and Thunder Rangers]], the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers, the Series/PowerRangersMysticForce, the Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel, the [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Dark Ranger]], the WebVideo/PowerRangersHyperForce and the biggest surprise of all, the Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers.
22	* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': The "Battle for Angel Island" arc sees Sonic gather all his various allies, including new ones made over the course of the preceding issues, in order to liberate Angel Island after it's [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs occupied by the Egg Fleet]].
23	* The final issue of ''ComicBook/GodzillaRulersOfEarth'' has Godzilla surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered by an army of powerful alien kaiju, he's exhausted by weeks of continuous fighting, and the mechs that were assisting him, Moguera and Kiryu, have just been destroyed. But being the {{Determinator}} that he is, he lets out a truly awesome MightyRoar as a defiant battle cry. Cue thirteen other kaiju charging in to help him out in the FinalBattle for Earth.
24	* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'':
25	** ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'': ''The Atom and Hawkman'' #46. Indigo-1 sends out a mental summons to the homeworlds of all the various Lantern Corps, summoning them to Earth to participate in the battle with the Black Lanterns.
26	** ''[[ComicBook/GreenLanternLightsOut Lights Out]]'': Hal Jordan suggests the Green Lantern Corps to go to the Red Lantern Corps for help to stop Relic because he has Guy Gardner there as a double agent.
27	** ''ComicBook/GreenLanternEarthOne'': With his ring super-charged by the Oan Power Battery, Hal sends a distress signal across the universe to anybody wielding a ring to help him. They come.

30	* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'':
31	** ''ComicBook/TheGreatDarknessSaga'': The Legion have ascertained they are facing ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, plus an army of billions of brainwashed Daxamites. So Dream Girl calls in every person who was ever a Legionnaire: active members, reservists, the Legion of Substitutes... even ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, who resigned several years ago, travels to the 30th century to join the battle.
32	** In ''ComicBook/TheCondemnedLegionnaires'', Satan Girl has found the Legion's hideout, has disabled Supergirl and is finishing the female Legionnaires off. As a last resort, Lightning Lad uses the Time Bubble to travel to the 20th century and ask the Legion of Super-Pets help. Krypto, Streaky, Comet and Beppo answer and gang up on the villain.
33	* ''ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck'': The Junior Woodchucks, evicted from their fort by who they think is an enemy agent from Scotland, send a telegraph to the authorities for help. At the other end of their message is Theodore Roosevelt, who immediately goes to Duckburg with an army to repel the foreign invader.
34	* ''ComicBook/OzMarvelComics'': Inverted in the comic-book adaptation of the seventh book of ''Literature/LandOfOz'', ''Literature/TheEmeraldCityOfOz''. The Nome King sends his General to persuade the Whimsies to help him to attack Oz, but the General goes beyond his orders to recruit the Growleywogs and Phanfasms as well.

37	* In ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' story arc "ComicBook/BrainiacRebirth", Superman cannot deal with the newly-rebuilt Brainiac, who is approaching Earth with a huge slave army, so he goes to the Justice League.

38	* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Captain America overrides communications and tells the military to ignore the orders from above (compromised by an infiltration) and head to the site of a battle to fight the aliens. The Ultimates proceed to fight the aliens on their own, and eventually the Air Force shows up to help Thor and Iron Man.
39	* ''ComicBook/SecretWar2004'': Nick Fury and several other heroes are investigating an issue that should have been brought up decades ago. Where do supervillains get the funding for their high-tech gimmicks? It kicks off when the Grizzly is being interrogated by two friendly SHIELD agents (the Grizzly helped prevent a crime, so he wasn't in really big trouble). One of the agents asks Grizzly how, with only a few hundred dollars in his bank account, did he get a bullet-proof, superstrong exo-skeleton? Grizzly then starts talking about a guy who trades tech to people in exchange for favors. Towards the end, Captain America, Nick Fury, Daredevil, and Spider-Man are all on the New York docks late at night running down a lead, and look up to see an ''army'' of tech-themed villains bearing down on them. The heroes immediately call for help.

43	'''Spider-Man:''' Mommy!
