* ''ComicBook/RedWolf2016'': Has a rather amusing one in the last page of Issue #1. A group of young men, silhouetted at first, find Red Wolf unconscious. Then, in the last panel, one of them, his modern clothes now more clearly visible, pulls out a cellphone and callously declares he's going to tweet about it, showing that Red Wolf [[FishOutOfTemporalWater has been transported to the present day]].

** Throughout ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko'', Peter's Aunt May repeatedly tries to get Peter to meet ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson, a niece of her friend. Through circumstances related to being Spider-Man, Peter has never seen her, and neither for that matter has the reader, Mary-Jane's face being hidden by scenery. Peter, meanwhile, is dubious about Ms. Watson's attractiveness given Aunt May of this era is halfway to the moon. Then, when John Romita. Senior takes over, Peter finally meets MJ for the first time. And she's ''beautiful''.

** Similar is partway through Romita Sr.'s run as artist. Norman had previously got amnesia after Spider-Man defeated him, reverting back to being an emotionally distant but not ''evil'' dad and corporate executive, but as time goes on he keeps getting reminders of his time as the Goblin. One issue has Peter and Harry stopping by Oscorp only to be told by the security guard Norman's not there, unaware Norman's looking at them from the window (after all, it's ''his'' building. Why ''wouldn't'' he know the secret entrances?)... and then the next panel reveals it's not Norman - the Green Goblin is back.

* This is of course nowadays a LateArrivalSpoiler thanks to PopCulturalOsmosis, but TheReveal that the Green Goblin was ComicBook/NormanOsborn, a prominent member of Spidey's supporting cast, was [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/01/04/comic-book-legends-revealed-400-part-1/ infamously shocking at the time]].

* ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021'' has a twofold instance. At first, the reborn universe just seems to be little more than an [[PatrioticFervor American exceptionalist]] collection of {{Composite Character}}s of existing Marvel characters and {{Alternate Company Equivalent}}s of DC characters. Then comes the end of issue #4, when Doctor Spectrum and Coulson are in church and the former puts a dollar in the collection tray. The first shot is a close-up of the bill, which bears the phrase "In ''Mephisto'' We Trust", and the second is a full-page perspective shift showing Coulson and Spectrum sitting before ''a giant altar of Mephisto's likeness''.

* ''Captain America and the ComicBook/MightyAvengers'' has something of a meta one: Issue #6 re-canonizes ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} in its last few panels, with [[ComicBook/MonicaRambeau Spectrum]] going on a whole rant about how no one ever believed those things happened to them and [[CerebusRetcon treated it all as a joke]]. The last few panels show Monica being enveloped by light and in the last one she's wearing her Nextwave duds. Then she caps it off by saying "Auntie Monica's not ☠☠☠☠ laughing", with the classic Nextwave SymbolSwearing, as if the writers were saying "Those stories are abso-☠☠☠☠-lutely canon" after years of CanonDiscontinuity.
* The final page of the first volume of ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' has terrorist leader Stryfe removing his helmet...to reveal he's a dead ringer for Cable.

* The first Creator/WaltSimonson ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' did this with its ''cover''. That's Thor's costume. That's Thor's hammer. ''That's not Thor.'' For the first time in the series, someone other than Thor is worthy of Mjolnir.
