I kinda like the dickishness. Now, there are times where I think it bleeds into stupidity (like War Games), but the whole destroying-the-souls-of-all-he-touches has a certain charm.
Not a very sustainable one, I admit.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I mean, honestly, I just want Batman to hug Dick, because I'm actually tired of Dick's bottomless cavern of need for Batman's approval.

And my bias is that I love how Cass thinks (nay, knows) this is an upgrade from her previous paternal figure, and probably figures everyone elses' diamond shoes are too tight.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't even know what the other contenders are for greatest comics page ever.
Maybe the famous Spider-Man where he's trapped under all the junk and finally gets free. Or Ben Grimm getting turned back into the Thing by Reed against his will to fight Dr. Doom. Of course, that's just superhero comics.
What are the famous pages?

My favorite comic book page ever is from "The Death of Speedy" in L&R.

This might be a contender, as might Jean Grey rising as Phoenix for the first time and Captain Mar-Vell dying at Thanos' hands. I can think of a lot of iconic covers, but interior pages aren't popping up as easily.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
