Mashup 16: Fathers and sons
Today's installment of the "Monday Mashup", wherein I take one (and only one) panel from each of ten randomly selected comic books in an effort to make a coherent story, shows us a hero distraught over what he perceives as his failure, and turning to his father for comfort.

What I have in common with Modok
When I was a kid, while riding my bike I would occasionally rise up out of the seat, and shout "Engage fart boosters!" while taking off at a high rate of speed.
Immature, vulgar, and smelly, yes, I admit to all of those faults with my little scheme. However, little did I know that I was actually channeling the spirit of one of Marvel's greatest villains, Modok!
I might not have his massive brain, his chest-sized face, or his vast financial resources, but by all that's holy at least I had his fart boosters! I would have ruled the world, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids and their stupid dog, holding me down and forbidding me to quote "gas up" their neighborhood any more, end quote.

Flash Ka-Rack would be a good band name
I have a second great example of OnomontoPOWia from the pages of Flash number 131:
The camera angle here is great, giving you a street-level view of the impending collapse. The rendering on the building is perfect as well, with the dramatic vertical lines drawing the eye up to the falling corner, further heightening the visual drama. So already you've got a very good comics panel, a moment fraught with maximum peril heightened by suspending it in time, the crowd below (including the reader!) just realizing the danger they are in.
