A sort of meme?

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

So one day I got emo and randomly decided, as a way to distract myself, to type up my favorite passages from Ian Fleming's Bond novels. In the course of this deed I learned I could apparently type up three pages of text in ten minutes, which was kind of scary. Anyway, the post is here, sans all my favorite passages, because not all of my books are earmarked, and not all of the books that are earmarks have earmarks on all my favorite passages.

The meme part comes in my curiosity to see other people's favorite passages from their pup's canon. What bits of canon do you like best? If you have a book canon and are feeling saucy, type it up! If it's a movie canon and you can find a clip, link to it! If it's a comic book and you have a panel, let's see it! Or you can just reply and talk about it if you don't feel like getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or doing things what are totally illegal.

<3 Kendra. Eventually, it will dawn on Clark that he should probably be in awe. Eventually.

Yet moar pwnage: Oliver Queen and Batman love Kendra.

I'm so scanning in that very last issue of Hawgirl's solo title - #66 - that came out about six months ago, when she sliced and diced Hath-Set, then set the still quivering bits on FIRE, and watched him burn down to ash.

The art by Renato Arlem was beautiful in that last issue.

Also, STEAMPUNK Hawkgirl. (http://home.insightbb.com/~sillof/images/c_gjl-hawk.JPG) I know that you saw this, but it's still awesome enough to post. Although that's actually Shiera Saunders-Hall, a previous incarnation of Kendra's.

Batman loves Kendra when she's in a swanky minidress. (http://pics.livejournal.com/specialagentm/pic/0007d90c)

I also love this painting of Kendra fighting with Shayera Thal. (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/141649-hawkgirl_400.jpg) Even though they're not supposed to be fighting, it's a great cover.

Which leads me to this one: From the Rann-Thanagar epic war, Shayera Thal - the Thanagarian Hawkwoman - and Kendra, covered in Nth metal, KICKING ASS IN SPACE. (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/53339-hawkgirl_400.jpg)

I also love the wings here. (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/63536-hawkgirl_400.jpg) Beautiful!

And this sketch: MACE! (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/185359-hawkgirl_400.jpg) It gives you an idea how big her mace is. That thing is HEAVY, man.

This pastel profile sketch is another face. The detail! (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/138822-hawkgirl_400.jpg)

More Rags Morales. (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/197356-hawkgirl_400.jpg) He draws Kendra with incredibly soulful, sad eyes. I love Rags because he also, when he does color panels, remembers her partially Hispanic heritage and gives her caramel skin.

Kendra and Carter snark about size. (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/4649187.html#cutid1)

Kendra pwns Oliver Queen. (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/kirke_novak/charm6.jpg) AHAHAHA!

PS - just for you, until I scan in pages from the actual issue this weekend: Kendra and Clark. (http://bp2.blogger.com/_s7cID6Toiqs/RmEydu35bVI/AAAAAAAAAhA/4F45_hR4_v8/s1600-h/hg64.jpg) Note how she's trying to protect him. That's so Kendra - he doesn't need protecting, but there she is, firing her electric crossbows furiously anyway.
