Line 1:
{{trope}}
* Done deliberately in ''[[Too Much Coffee Man (Comic Book)|Too Much Coffee Man]].'' After studiously avoiding any even vaguely superheroic content in a superhero comic, we finally get an alien coming to Earth and begging the hero for help. The two of them make small talk as they get ready for the adventure ... then the story jumps ahead to show them coming home, since the small talk was the [[What Do You Mean
* [[Squirrel Girl]] does this all the time.
** Most recently, in [[New Avengers (Comic Book)|New Avengers]], she took down a Nazi mech. She then runs into three more. She charges them as they open fire. We next see her at Avengers Mansion, battered and bleeding.
Line 6:
* ''[[Funky Winkerbean]]'' set up a meeting between Les and a formerly homeless woman who somehow became a big publisher thanks to Les' manuscript, which she found and possibly plagiarized. You'd think that Les would look up the woman and what books she's written/published, discover she became rich off his stolen book and angrily confront her over plagiarism charges, but nothing happens. They meet, decide to do business, the manuscript isn't brought up, and that's it. The next week's plot is new, and it hasn't been brought up again.
* In [[Blue Beetle]], Guy Gardner started a "really cool bar fight." We see what caused the fight, we are told that it was really cool, but the fight itself happens off panel.
* At the end of ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'', the Saint of Killers {{spoiler|took on the ENTIRE Heavenly Host when they got in his way}}. All we see of it is him standing there {{spoiler|surrounded by angel corpses awaiting God's return. [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|So that he can shoot him]]}}. Yeah.
** And even ''that'' happens off panel!
* Parodied in one issue of the ''[[Simpsons]]'' comic where Krusty is pitching his own spy TV show. The climax of the pilot episode has Krusty's character telling his secretary all of the things he did to stop the [[Big Bad]]. Krusty tells the irate studio heads that he couldn't actually show the action on-screen because he blew the show's budget on one scene involving helicopter shoes.
