- The team discovers that an antique dealer they entrusted with an Artifact of Doom is an agent of Silas Morth, so what does East do? He cuts off the dealer's escape with a fucking jet.
- The one moment that all four of the main characters do something genuinely badass: dropping into Morth's hideout while shouting "NOBODY EXPECTS THE MOBIAN INQUISITION!" This also serves as a Call-Back to when they said they'd "do that joke next time."
- The fight between Lothar and Rogue., after Rogue makes a temporary FaceāHeel Turn. Lothar goes into Unstoppable Rage in the name of saving his father and brother.
- Despite it royally screwing up the mission, you have to admit that Wildfire doing the EN equivalent of a Spin Dash with dual katanas to saw a truck in half was pretty awesome.
- Silas Morth demonstrates the difference between a Manipulative Bastard and a Bastard Understudy.
- Virus changes the sigils on a summoning circle in order to mess up the ritual to summon a Patternari daemon. He somehow manages to make it summon a greater daemon of the Hound instead, which proves instrumental in defeating Morth.
- This is why Eastwood and Virus hired Rogue. While the rest of them are arguing about the next plan of action, Rogue takes all of the cultists out with his bare hands.
- Eastwood outwitting Morth via Summon Bigger Fish.Morth: Ho ho! The fox has gone to ground!Cerberus: Then release the hounds.
- The team demonstrates once again, that when push really comes to shove, they can be very competent. To list: Virus runs into the fray with the daemon-princess to save Harry, Harry devises a plan to defeat the princess pretty much on the fly, and Wildfire shows that her skill with beam swords are still useful. Thanks to a Fastball Special from Lothar, she cuts down a church's bell and sends it straight onto the daemon princess's head.
- Lothar Hex manages to have a CMOA without even needing to be conscious during a particularly heavy night. "You can't prove I ate that baby!"
- An even better example in this comic. The most obvious joke they could have made in this comic, used for the only time so far for the most amazingly badass moment ever.
- This is even more awesome because it's a Chekhov's Gun. One of the earliest strips had the set up, but subverted it with Virus Breaking the Fourth Wall to say, "Nah, we're not gonna do the Python bit yet. Maybe next time," with the payoff coming four years later.
- Hell that whole section of the comic was a moment of awesome. The crew are attacked by two dragons and Lothar, uncharacteristically, pushes the rest of the gang to safety and takes the full brunt of the fireball himself... the awesomeness continues as the gang reacts in horror to the horrific burning of Lothar's... hat. Which hits his Berserk Button and makes him tear the two dragons to pieces by his lonesome in a Gory Discretion Shot.
- And later on, there's Eastwood's "rebuttal" to a gloating Silas Morth's Hannibal Lecture.
- Antonius Schaefer showcases his Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass traits.
