A Single Panel

Comics continue to be a unique medium. The combination of words and pictures can be exceptionally powerful. Many times I'll come across a single panel and find myself staring at it, in awe of how perfectly the pieces come together into a coherent whole. This image, from Grant Morrison and Howard Porter's JLA is just such a panel:

One determined look and two sentences are all that are needed to prove that Superman is still the world's greatest hero. I could go on and on analyzing why this panel is so great, but I don't need to. It speaks for itself.
