1 " Hyperion: We're going to die here today.
Thor: Aye...But let it be on our terms. One more time. Our very...Huurggg!...best.
(Thor is unable to lift the mjolnir from an alternate universe - Thorr's hammer of unworthiness)
Thor: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! So be it. If this is the end let me not meet is as The Unworthy...but as my father's son. The occasion demands I offer you a drink, Hyperion, but unfortunately, I have none.
Hyperion: That's because we drank it all, brother.
Thor: Yes. We did.. Nothing left to do now but the other thing.
Hyperion: I just want to say... for some time I believed I survived the death of two worlds -- now I know it just took a while to catch up with me. It's a dark thing, what my life became... you have made it better, Odinson. Will you wait for me in Valhalla?
Thor: Brother... this day, I will race you there.
*Against the bleak nothing of dead space, two gods fell to many. The sun shone one last time. There was lightning, and thunder... and then silence.* "

4 " Spiderman: You're going to have to do something about those children, Stark.
Tony: What children?
Spiderman: The annoying, ill-mannered ones.
Tony: I need more.
Spiderman: Bomb Boy and Solar Flare.
Tony: I think you mean Cannonball and Sunspot. What did they do this time?
Spiderman: We were in the kitchen and they decided to - rather rudely - confront me about eating the leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tony: Was it your food?
Spiderman: No.
Tony: Was it theirs?
Spiderman: Possibly. It was an honest mistake. My point - I think THE point - is I won't be spoken to that way by infants.
Tony: Then don't eat their food. "

6 " No. It's not a game. This is the world. It is not the one we were supposed to have, but it's the one we made.

We did this. We did it with open eyes and willing hands. We broke it, and there is no putting it back together.

But I'm damned already... so at least I'm going to try. "

― Jonathan Hickman , East of West, Vol. 1: The Promise

7 " You come face to face with love, and before the sun sets, you've become someone you didn't used to be.

It makes the old new. Makes dead things live.

Love makes you into something better.

It's the reason a wolf would chase a crow, even knowing he can't fly...

And she don't ever need to touch the ground.

Love sends a man half way around the world...

Just for the hope of catching it. "

― Jonathan Hickman , East of West, Vol. 1: The Promise

11 " There's a thing, Father, where men who have thought they were giants their entire lives actually see one for the first time.

It sparks a reaction.

It shows them their place. "

― Jonathan Hickman , East of West, Vol. 1: The Promise

12 " Yu come face to face with love, and before the sun sets you've become someone you didn't used to be...

14 " It feels wrong.'
'Hmmm?'
'Sending you out there, Thor. It feels wrong.'
'How might that be?'
'Well...I'm staying here to fix the Avengers while you're...'
'Undergoing a different trial.'
'I'm just saying...The auger is going to throw all of you to the other side of the multiverse. Tens of thousands of Universes away.'
'Sounds very far.'
'You certainly don't measure the distance in miles. Regardless...I stay here and try and fix the Avengers--a group of which you were a founding member...'
'While I go to smite at the very heart of what caused...all this. I wish you well in repairing the dream, Roberto...I hope that when the moment comes, my will is as steady as yours. My heart as righteous. Soon...we shall see.'
'Thor.'
'Yes?'
'You understand, right? There's no coming back. You're all going to die out there.'
'Aye. It is an end. But to die...striking down the great destroyer? That would be a fitting one. So if you pray, pray that I am not found wanting...and instead am worthy of such a glorious end. "

-Kill them.
-Kill them.
-Hmmm. Okay. "
