- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: More than one, but for fans of both Ted and Jaime, the issue where Guy tells Jaime about Ted and leaves Jaime Ted's books (which help Jaime think of a way to defeat the Reach).
- Let's explain it again: This is GUY GARDNER, aka a grade A+ jackass, telling Jaime about how clever, capable and trustworthy Ted was and how much he respected him for that and even claiming that Ted was smarter than Batman himself. Then he cranks his "Big Brother" switch to eleven and gives Jaime a set of strategy books that Ted gave him in the past, admitting he never had the head for them but claiming that Jaime was smart enough to get the most out of them. Practically every panel on that single page was a CMOHW.
- After the fact, we see Jaime's got a WWTKD? sign on his corkboard--"What Would Ted Kord Do?"
- This exchange between Jaime and his dad, after Jaime has just stopped a major catastrophe and is crying in his room. Brought a tear to my eye.

Dad: You saved so many people, mi hijo. You didn't ask for this responsibility. I'm proud of what you've done with this power. |
