The Mighty Handful - Gwen in Stasis Lyrics

Then Glenn says "Alright then all you esteemed Beaconites
What's the greatest comic book scene of all time?"
Oh, this is PERFECT! here we go
It's one of the those things that made this feel like home

(And... they're... off!)

It's Simonson's Thor, or Phoenix reborn
Constantine going to hell
Howard The Duck? Are you having a laugh?
Cerebus? Really, what for?
Watchmen? No really you're not thinking, clearly
The Killing Joke's more of a draw

No. No. No. No
Anyone else? Alright then I'll tell you
The moment that's second to none

It's Amazing. Spider. Man. One hundred and twenty one

It's Gwen Stacy falling. She's falling
You think you can save her
You'll kill her instead
The world stops. Gwen in stasis

That one awful moment. You love her
You love more than ever
You love more than life
The world stops. Gwen in stasis

It's not Krypton exploding
Or young Bruce Wayne moaning his privileged parents are dead
Not the trial of Reed Richards
Or Kitty Pryde saving what's left of the future X-Men
It's not Swamp Thing or Sandman
Or Frogspawn McFarlane
And It's certainly not Uncle Ben

It's Gwen
Gwen Gwen Gwen Gwen
(And the death of Green Goblin)

And I look across. And there she is
She's biting her bottom lip
Embarrassed that he's passionate
But only for stupid comics

When here she is, this flesh and blood
Destined to go unnoticed, unheeded & unloved

In that one awful moment
She sees it as it is
The world stops. Gwen in stasis

And for one awful moment
I see how she will be
Beaten. Embittered. And ginny
