* ''ComicBook/TheBooksOfMagic'': Tim Hunter gives one towards Death in issue 16 of ''Hunter: The Age of Magic'' in response to being told that he must accept Yo-Yo's imminent demise and that there's nothing he can do about it.
-->'''Tim:''' You evil scheming little bitch! It's always the same, isn't it? You turn up, chatting about nothing-- drop in a few cute little sayings...and then you smile and take away my mother or my father or someone else I happen to care about. You're a bloody ''fake''. You bring nothing but pain. And one day, I'll find a way to destroy you.

*** The climactic battle between Diana and Circe from the same issue has the two of them trading both physical blows and cutting tirades. Circe mocks Diana for a naive fool who doesn't see that HumansAreBastards while Diana claims that Circe is only terrified of imagining a world of peace, love and inequality because she's spent the entirety of her life scaring away anyone that loved her.

'''Terry:''' ''You're'' the one who's paying, Stanton! You're paying for all the times your own son was begging for attention...even as you ''ignored'' him.

** Issue 31 had Hardware fight Edwin Alva while giving an earful over what a manipulative dirtbag he is.
-->'''Hardware:''' I looked up to you, Edwin. I worshiped the ground you walked on. I wanted to be like you. So I remade myself into your image. I turned my back on my friends, my family, my values, myself...and in return for my devotion, you ''used'' me. And ''used'' me. And ''used'' me. Until you used me up. But I'm nothing special. That's standard operating procedure for you. You prey on this city, only ''pretending'' to give back to it. You've discarded your own wives and children when they weren't of use to you anymore. And you ''always'' win. Except for ''today''. When you put on the suit, you stopped playing your game and started playing ''mine''. Just because you can manipulate me doesn't mean you've got your own *** together.

I would make my bank, and trade would continue at a… well, a rate "acceptable" to the police and the populace. Statistically, our crime rate was ''lower'' than Metropolis. '''I did that!''' But you got arrogant, Batman. You started believing you really were the savior of this city, and not just one piece of a bigger conglomerate. ''My'' conglomerate.
