The one I'm surprised isn't there is the Paul Smith panels from X-Men 173 or 174 where Wolverine stabs himself to get the opponent behind him. (Or is that from Wolverine Limited Series? .... Can't remember)
Edit: Nope, not the X-Men issue I was thinking ... that's a fight versus Silver Samurai. Still, I love this sequence from 173.
But what is the panel where Wolverine does the self-impalement?
There are quite a few of them I disagree with. Many of them conflate iconic moments with iconic panels. It's an interesting springboard for discussion.
1. No. I'd have chosen the very last panel of the story 2. No (not even the Kirby original if I'm correct) 3. Maybe... 4. Yes 5. No. There's a better panel later in the story. 6. Maybe 7. Yes 8. Yes 9. Maybe...it's really hard to pick one panel from that origin story. 10. At the time it came out, yes. Now, no. 11. Yes 12. Yes 13. Maybe 14. Yes 15. No 16. Nope. 17. Yes 18. Yes (if only it had stayed that way) 19. No. 20. Maybe 21. No. 22. Yes, begrudgingly. 23. I like it, but no 24. No 25. No 26. Yes. 27. Yes 28. No. 29. Yes. 30. Yes 31. No 32. No 33. No 34. No 35.

Your list of responses brings to mind an old movie ad campaign. An announcer's voice said, "And now, Woody Allen with a few answers to questions about his new movie "Sleeper"...
Cut to Woody sitting alone at a conference table who simply says,
"Yes"
"Yes"
"No, definitely not."
"Only with a banana once"
"Absolutely NOT"
"Well, yes".
And that's all they shared. You never got the questions.
They cut directly to a screen as the announcer says "Now playing everywhere".

I agree with most of them. There are a handful that I don't know.
"Wasp Johnson is right!"

Looking through the panels, I sort of felt as if the person who put them together hadn't read enough comics to be compiling such a list.

Should a list of "iconic panels" include splash pages? (Nos. 10, 11, 24, 29, 31, 38, 40, 43, 44, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 63, 64, 66) I wouldn't think so.
I certainly think such a list should not include splash pages that have been cropped (Nos. 22, 47).
