openTrying to remember show from one scene Print Comic
This has been bugging me all day. I remember a scene from a show (may also have been a film), where a character is held by some crazy female assassin (who thinks she's psychic) after she kills a guy at a gas station. She's super dirty, covered in blood, matted hair, etc. The killer stocks up on snacks from the gas station, there's something about a muffin. They start having car trouble and run into a trucker on a dirt road. He offers to fix the car but ends up being evil, and the woman kills him too.

Our "Bruce Wayne Held Hostage" page has this in the list.
"A variation occurred in a Silver Age Superman story. During an attempted heist at a museum, some goons take a bystander hostage and force Superman to help them. Only the "Superman" they have is a lookalike in a Superman costume on his way to his son's school, and the "hostage" is Clark Kent, who they grabbed before he could change clothes. The real Superman ends up having to use his powers to covertly make his kidnappers believe the fake one is the real deal until he can get him safely away. "
Anyone know which story/issue that was? it sounds like a good read, but google has failed me.
openObscure comic regarding a detective who may have been a frog Print Comic
I can vaguely remember a comic serial which must have been British involving a detective, who was drawn very simply, with a black trenchcoat, trilby and bug eyes - he may have been a frog. He was involved in an adventure in which he fought a Fu Manchu type villain. He burned through a rope using a watch glass. The villain had eggs with lions inside them as a weapon. "Your eggs have little lions on them - our eggs have little lions inside them!" The title may have included the words "private eye"
openShort WITCH Comic in a magazine Print Comic
I'm trying to find a W.I.T.C.H comic that I read in a magazine. It probably wasn't in a regular graphic novel because the story was too short. In the comic, Taranee is being bullied by Uriah and his friends, until Irma comes along and uses her powers to spray them with water from a water fountain. Martin and Nigel may have been involved, but I'm not sure. Does anyone who knows W.I.T.C.H know what this could be? I've looked at the comics on the W.I.T.C.H wiki site and haven't found anything.
openSearching for a dark fantasy comic Print Comic
Might have been a western comic, might have been a manhua, either way I don't remember much of it. It definetly wasn't japanese, might have been chinese or korean; I read a print version, the comic itself was pretty dark but had a beautiful art style, not colored; I remember a black-haired girl waking up in some kind of a train with a bunch of monsters (that hate her), who later turn into puppets in an enchanted forest? I couldn't make out most of the plot, but there was also a giant dreamkeeper lady who cried dreams, a guy who wore a cauldron for a hat, also pretty sure some manner of cannibalism was involved. Comic itself went out around 2009, couldn't find anything about it then, same as now. All help is appreciated!
openA Marvel comic set in space in the late 90s or early 2000s Print Comic
I only read one issue, but it featured the crew of a crashed ship on a distant planet. They were being hunted by an alien race with projectile weapons built into their biology, even calling them bio-weapons. The main human characters all wore armor, and of different colors.
openGraphic Novels for kids inspired by wizard of oz? Print Comic
There was a series of graphic novels in my elementary school library, I would have read them between 2004 and 2008. The plot was that there was an author similar to L. Frank Baum who wrote books similar to the Oz books, and a girl discovered the world he wrote about was actually real when she found herself there.
The main character was the girl whose name I can't recall, she was black and I think wore overalls and maybe had pigtails? There was a boy who was made of wax who I think was named Wicks or something like that, and I feel like he betrayed the girl somehow. I also seem to remember the main characters riding in a hot air balloon
Sorry I don't recall more, anyone know of a series like this?.
openShoujo manga about a princess and a swan love interest Print Comic
The princess falls in love with a guy who is cursed to have a swan wing for an arm. The princess father is a pretty bishonen guy. I think is an oneshot, or at the very least, a pretty short series.
openHumor comic Print Comic
I am looking for a specific comic by some artist I can't remember. But I remember a couple of things about it.
First, I remember that the cower of the pocket I used to have but can no longer find looked like it could fit on the Lethal Chef page with a character cooking something that looked not to pleasant. Second, I remember that one of the stories in the pocket as a parody of the Hunchback of Notredame featuring all kinds of chaotic madness. One scene I remember involved Quasi trying to ring one of the church bells only for it to swing above and around and hitting him in the head (and resulting in his deafness). I also remembered that in the end of the story, Quasi threw practically everything he could find at the crowd below, including Esmeralda and Frollo, and eventually himself. Apparently he bounced on the ground and was sent flying somewhere and became a superstar after that, or something like that. And thirdly, I remember a short story in the same pocket which basically boiled down to a man yawning, his wife turns on a table fan, a fly get's blown away by said fan right into the mans mouth, he spits it out right into the fan, the fly platters on the fan and splatters fly all over the mans face.
well that is what I can remember of it.
openManga Series that I forgot the title of. Print Comic
Hi! I'm looking for a manga series that I read a few years ago but can't remember the name of. It's about a young girl who doesn't have any friends, you know, a bit of an anti-social person. But, through circumstances, she has to socialize with people in order to find monsters/demons. One day, she makes a couple of friends after she helps them get something that fell over a bridge and she takes off her shoes to get it for them. Afterwards, they catch up to her and ask her about her favorite celebrity in a magazine. And near the end of the first or second book, she has to confront a monster of some kind in a school gym. Can someone help me with this, please?
openWhat is this comic? Print Comic
So, I remember reading a Comicvine article about this comic. However, I can't find the article or remember the title. It was a social satire comic. The premise was that people would announce they would kill themselves at a certain date and soak in the fame and publicity until then. It may or may not have been part of a fictional reality show.
openspiderman Print Comic
can't remember the name but it was a series of comics with a blond haired kid who in each issue pretended to be a different one of his favorite superheroes and at the end he met them
openSupergirl Comic Print Comic
I found that picture from a super girl comic where she says 'that's strange' and the other woman asks what's strange. Then Kara says 'My X-ray vision is picking up some weird plastics in your–" I really love the art style and it's such a fun sense of humor that I was wondering what artist it was from/ what issue number it was. If anyone knows, I'd really appreciate it.
openFantasy/Romance Manga? Print Comic
All I remember is a chapter involving glasses that allows wearers to see red strings of fate and special nail polish that allows the wearer to cut them and retie them to change relationships. One of the male characters might have had a name similar to Ryu...
openSpiky Batman Villain Print Comic
I'm a sucker for minor Batman villains and I noticed one in a flashback panel when Batman fights Bane in Part 11 of Knightfall that I wish to identify.
The villain wears either black or dark blue and wears a mask revealing only his eyes with spikes around the face. A long, whip-like protrusion on the top of the head appears to be made of something akin to barbed wire and is slashing one of the prongs of Batman's cowl in the panel. He also wears spiked gloves.
The flashback panel is most likely based on a previous comic and is taking place in a graveyard.
openArchie comic wit Jughead in eating contest? Print Comic
There's one Archie comic where Jughead (he's the Big Eater with the funny hat) is in an eating contest but the girls are feeding him as much as possible before the contest, however, he still wins. What's that one called? P.S. I heard it has a girl called Jane Doe in it.

Does anyone know the origin of this panel:

openStrange Times at ??? High Print Comic
This comic I saw years ago whose story I wasn't properly following at the time, was some kind of coming of age/high school sexual comedy as told by some old man in a diner after two visiting teenagers squashed his flies and bring to mind "dead lovers" from the legend he tells.
The one thing I remember best was that these two lovers come back from the dead for some kind of revenge at the climax where others quirky characters in the legend also appear.

Edited by lalalei2001

As far as I know, the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was adapted to comic books in S.H.I.E.L.D. (2014) and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Then, surfing the internet to read things about the TV series, I found this page
. Is that comic book image from either of the comics, from some other one, or just promotional material?
