I want to start with the classics with my favorite anti-hero. Black Adam!

In his first introduction, the once mighty champion of magic had used the power of Shazam for himself by storming the throne of the ruler of Egypt and killing him by breaking his neck. Pretty hardcore for this era of comics, and one that defined the brutality of Black Adam.

Black is an anti-villain not an anti-hero.

Justice league international Second Annual is incredibly funny. The premise is that Joker is trying to kill the justice league but is having a hard time doing so. I love its comedy but the most surreal moments are after each failure, Joker kills one of his henchmen.

In one instance, after failing to kill Fire, his henchman just straight up ask if he is going to strangle him like the other guy? Joker just tells him “nah, that’s to good for you. I’m just going to shoot you.”

First on that comes to mind is Damian Wayne’s death in Batman Incorporated – not just for how violent it is, but because of how it highlighted Damian’s growth as a hero and his motivations from the start. He fights his aged-up clone Heretic not just to save the life of a lowly secretary that was stuck in the WayneTech building at the time (a character we had seen since the beginning of Morrison’s run on Batman), but to try to stop his brother from causing more harm, and to try to sway his mother, Talia al Ghul into stopping her plans and to just be there for her son. For all his bluster, Damian was just a kid who wanted his parents to be together for him.


And here’s something funnier. I haven’t read this run yet (sorry @Jurisdiction), but I’ve heard about this page and it’s always hilarious.

Comic Code Authority approved back in 1976. Nothing like a fun beheading kids!
