I think the single best comic issue ever written may be The Elementals Vol. 2 Issue 15, a.k.a. The Conversation.

I preached Willingham even through the scary, explicit, dark days of Ironwood. Now that Fables has hit the big time, we need to get more people to go read about Dave Dragavon's early adventures and the coolness that was Tommy. I still laugh when I think about his run-in with Saddam Hussein.
It's a shame Comico died just as that book became a game-changer for comics everywhere. Ditto with Grendel, where Wagner was just starting to explore Grendel's effect on an entire planet.

Oh, I did! (I really love one of the "Black, White, and Red"s too, the one where one-word captions to a series of images tella story of Grendel taking out his competition, with a cute little poem Hunter offers a mob boss who crosses him.) I just meant that Wagner had to stop what he was doing in the middle of something big and didn't get to finish it for years. |

There are two moments in "Batman vs. Grendel" which I tend to offer as proof that Wagner is both brilliant as an artist and a writer... the first is when Hunter reviews villains to copy, and while he offers reasons to himself why not to impersonate each one as he narrows his selection, when he gets to the Joker, all he thinks is, "No." There's a lot you can imply from very little said there.
The second is the fight with Batman, which isn't epic by any means, but Batman attempting to take off Hunter's mask is. I giggled like Lo-Pan for three days.
