I love snappy one-liners! Comics, movies, TV, well-written or cheesy, it doesn’t matter. I love’em!

It’s a four issue miniseries from DC Comics that I certainly hope someone is developing for the big screen right now, as it’s an awesome and really well done World War II ensemble piece with captivating elements of the supernatural and christian mythos. I really enjoyed it and definitely suggest giving it a read, but it was some of the excellent action movie-esque quotes in the book’s big finale that demanded I mention it on EoP.
Light Brigade is chock-full of quotable lines, but the one pasted below is definitely my favorite.
Now that I’ve got my scanner all hooked up, I’m sure “Great Comic Quotes” will be popping up more often. Stay tuned!
