Greatest scene in comics history. Tawky Tawny rocks.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
The secret ingredient?
TIGER INTESTINES!
January 16th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
And I would so follow a TAWKY TAWNY, KING OF THE TIGER-MEN series through the gates of hell.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
i would follow gut ripping tawky tawny into the depths of monkey cheese. oh wait, that’s where this scene took place!
somehow this series manages to make the action scenes even less exciting than the disconnected sequences where characters monologue exposition at each other.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Hey kids! A well-spoken tiger with a rocket pack who KICKS ASS.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
cool scene… I wish it was delivered less graphically…
January 16th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I really expected that fight to go the other way. I was excited that it didn’t. The panel is pretty bad ass too. If I was a kid I’d say it was worth four bucks to see talking tigers disembowel each other.
January 16th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Was this supposed to be some snarky “man what a dumb book and shouldn’t comics be for kids” post? Because, I mean, all the comments just seem to be people thinking that scene was completely awesome. Which it was. (Although the next page was better.)
January 16th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
“Because, I mean, all the comments just seem to be people thinking that scene was completely awesome. Which it was.”
I concur. This is the first unequivocally awesome superhero comic of the year. It’s like there’s a pay-off on every page, and it’s more profound and heartfelt than all the other superhero blockbuster event stuff put together, too. (Which, I guess, sounds like kind of a backhanded compliment, which wasn’t the intention.)
January 16th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I think kids age 10 and up would actually think that scene is the coolest thing in the world. However, I think the scene in general would be just as effective sans the intestines.
January 16th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Nope, the intestines make it.
January 16th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
and it wasn’t anyone’s intestines – it was Kalibak’s intestines! Has Tawky anything ever done anything as cool?
And the following scene, with the Tiger-Men kneeling around him was way awesome, too.
January 16th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Bla bla bla- Didio’s raping my childhood -bla bla bla *yawn*
January 16th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I concur with the guy with the same first name as me.
January 16th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
guys we gotta stop the animal on animal violence
January 17th, 2009 at 2:19 am
TAWKY TAWNY OWNZ!!!1
January 17th, 2009 at 2:25 am
The violence level worked fine for this book and this scene. And it was teh awesome.
I was more shocked by Supergirl and Mary Marvel arguing over who was the bigger slut.
January 17th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Tawky Tawny should be the new Batman.
January 17th, 2009 at 9:31 am
The Supergirl/Mary Marvel “slut” argument was a little less out of place once they clarified that Desaad was the one possessing Mary Marvel.
January 17th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Mmm…intestines! Therrrrre Grrrrreaaat!
(Too soon?)
January 17th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Desaad is such a slut.
January 18th, 2009 at 3:40 am
I think that is not for 10 years old kids this scene.
January 18th, 2009 at 3:52 am
Desaad you ignorant slut!
January 18th, 2009 at 7:32 am
hey kids, why are you reading about two characters that aren’t meant for children?
January 18th, 2009 at 8:59 am
ugh—yet another comic blogger who worries about “the children.” please spare me.
i can raise my children just fine without your help, thanks. and i’ll give my child a goddamn grant morrison comic when i feel it’s right, not when some ididot blogger indicates it’s correct for me to do so.
i’m surprised this post doesn’t feature another of your crayon drawings, showing us all how to talk to the children.
matt, THIS is what blog@ has now become?
bye bye newsarama…
January 18th, 2009 at 9:05 am
whu? Caleb posted no commentary at all – you assigned what you thought was his intention and meaning, and are thus leaving because of it? Wowza. I mean – before you go – look at it one more time…Caleb put the image up, with ZERO words.
“i can raise my children just fine without your help, thanks. and i’ll give my child a goddamn grant morrison comic when i feel it’s right, not when some ididot blogger indicates it’s correct for me to do so.”
that’s all you, there, buddy. including insulting someone for what you thought was their intention. Thta’s like a self-straw-man or something…
I mean, most folks caught that the title was ironic…or at the very least that the image was meant to be the start of discussion…
just what I think I have the internet figured out, it still manages to surprise me. I guess we can start to label things with IRONY WARNING, but where’s the fun in that? Although I did get a kick out of you cursing when talking about giving a comic book to your kid. Frank Miller – is that you?
But – in answer to your question, “matt, THIS is what blog@ has now become?”, that is, a place where folks shoot before thinking, assigning meaning and intent that runs counter to what the poster was doing, and then proceed to insult the original poster for that assigned meaning? Good lord, I hope not.

Hey, those aren’t crayon–they’re colored pencil.
