Description
This one reminds me of camping outdoors…. Because it is IN TENTS!! (So sorry.)

A thrilling spread from an unforgettable Dark Reign-era story in which Luke Cage makes a deal with the Devil (Norman Osborn) to find his missing daughter, who had been kidnapped by Skrulls in the wake of Secret Invasion. Enough quickly becomes enough, and Luke makes his opinion known (along with an unbeatable exit) with some help from the Wrecker’s crowbar.

I love how the edges of the top two panels flare out, and the camera is put -right there- to maximize the in-your-face impact. Cheerios go flying, and then the camera whips back across the room to catch Luke’s backhand, leaving the viewer bedazzled by the velocity of the movement (to say nothing of the violence of Luke’s attack).

And all the high-falootin’ aside, the fanboy in me just looooooves the delicious fact that Luke hits Venom so hard that he splashes him into a patch of symbiote goo on the wall. Just… -MWAH- (chef’s kiss)

Absolutely one of the most explosive spreads in my collection; an incredible slice of adrenaline action heaven! Thanks don’t even begin to cover it, KG! Cheers, sir!

A cinematic scene and DPS, with the action going right across the 2 boards, to the right in the top panel then flipped to the left in the second!  Then the aftermath...goo...just everywhere, lol.  And I always felt the last panel was a perfect capper, with Luke laying things down to the guy in power at the time, Norman.  Just makes for a top to bottom bada$$ piece.  Why'd I move this again?!  ;)  Congrats, Jason!

INTENSE dps for sure !

Nothing like a crowbar in the teeth to begin your day feeling lighter.

As you may know, I love that arc and I also own several pages from it, including the previous one.

You must have used the pry bar in panel 2 to pull this one away from KG ;)

ACTION doesn't describe this! Even down to the panel selection, this one screams. The long middle panel is how I would like to see every symbiote character treated. This is making me really think about adding Billy Tan to the wall!

You can’t handle the truth! Son we live in a world that has brick walls, and those brick walls have to be guarded by Bulleyes and Venoms. Whose gonna do it... you? You Luke Cage? I have a greater responsibility that you can possibly fathom. You weep for Kindred and you curse the Dark Avengers. You have the luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Skrull Jarvis’ death while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence while grotesque, and incomprehensible, to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at Avengers parties, you want me on that wall, you need Norman on that brick wall! We use artworks by Bendis, Tan, and Banning. We use these dudes as the backbone of a double page spread, you use them for story time. I have neither the time, nor the inclination to explain myself, to a Power Man who rises and sleeps, under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and than questions the manner in which I provide them! I’d rather you just said ‘thank you’, and went on your way Luke. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a crowbar, and make a deal. Either way, I don’t give a damn, what you think you are entitled to!

This one reminds me of camping outdoors…. Because it is IN TENTS!! (So sorry.)

😩 Groan!

Almost as explosive as explosive diarrhea! Not that I've ever had that myself. But yes, splattering Venom into goo is a really cool looking effect. I also love the fact that the Cheerios were included. It's a benign element to add, but makes the scene more believable and interesting. A lovely piece altogether!

If you hold it for 5 days, it condenses and comes out like a diamond.
