There are certain things you might see when reading a comic book that'll make you say, "Oh, s&%#! Did he just do that?"

Don't forget to use the spoiler tag where appropriate. You don't want to give too much away, now. Some of us haven't read them yet.

NO MORE EXAMPLES HERE, PLEASE - instead, create the work's "Awesome" subpage directly and cut out the middleman. If the work doesn't have a page to put an "Awesome" subpage under, create that as well, please. (If it's awesome, it deserves a page here.) Don't forget to add "Category:Awesome (comic book)" to the new subpage!

 * Say what you want about Asterix and Obelix All At Sea, but Obelix, having not gotten to battle any Romans for most of the album,   is nothing short of awesome. There are dual-wielding Romans. That doesn't mean people from Rome dual-wielding weapons -- that means Obelix actually, literally dual-wielding a couple of Romans.


 * The end of Astro City #8 "Patterns" is an amazing moment for The Confessor. First, - a secret he's kept for over a hundred years, half of which time he spent operating openly as a superhero - by fighting, desperately, with his full speed and strength in front of thousands of people and several news cameras. His opponents are a whole squad of soldiers armed with . After.

 * Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight gets a few. At the end of the "Wolves at the Gate" story arc, Dracula is working with Buffy against vampires that have stolen his special powers (turning into wolves, mist and so forth). Just when all seems lost . But hey, pretty much everything Dracula says or does in "Wolves At The Gate" is a CMOA or Crowning Moment of Funny.

 * A somewhat unusual but still awesome scene from the French comic Le dernier Chant des Malaterre comes when the (extremely cowardly and generally dislikeable) squire of one of the main characters tries to escape but loses control of his horse and heads back towards the place where his master is to be burnt at the stake. His last thoughts/words are basically "Fuck this." followed by "I'M COMING MY LORD!" It doesn't end well but damn, it's kind of awesome.
 * Loaded Bible: set in a post-apocalyptic future, Jesus Christ returns to earth to kill vampires. During one fight, he spits in a vampire's face, and its head explodes.
 * Shaolin Cowboy literally consists entirely of these. The best ones are the main character turning just enough to reveal that the panel-wide pole he's carrying has  the same character taking out a seemingly endless army in its entirety by   and Geof Darrow's Crowning Moment of Awesome, the epically massive World Turtle that has to be the single most detailed two-page spread in comics history.
