Other Comics Books

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender comics:
    • In Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search, when Zuko asks the Mother of Faces how to find his mother, she shows him Ursa's face and then changes it to Noriko's, signifying that Ursa changed her name and lost her memories.
    • The first part of Avatar: The Last Airbender – North and South, has one combined with a Wham Line when Sokka and Katara arrive in a bustling city that's reminiscent of the North Pole. When Sokka says "The map says this is home," you realize that it used to be his and Katara's home village.
    • Part 1 of "North and South" ends with Sokka and Katara walking in on their father, Hakoda, kissing Malina, a Northern Water Tribe woman who's helping them rebuild, indicating that they have more than a business relationship.
  • Issue 4 of The Bad Eggs reveals on the final page that Ript's "Lucky Star" is a giant asteroid heading straight for earth.
  • Black Moon Chronicles: Albums often end on these to set up a Cliffhanger. For instance, one comic ends with Wismerhill returning to Moork to find his masters Haazheel Thorn and Greldinard, who had apparently both been killed, waiting for him inside the throne room.
  • Brody's Ghost has one at the end of Volume 3, when Brody sees the picture of a victim of a crime that might be related to the Penny Murders he's investigating. It's Talia's picture, revealing she didn't die of leukemia as she claimed.
  • B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know: Acting on a tip from the psychic Fenix, the team return to the ruins of their old headquarters to exhume Roger's grave. When they finally find the coffin, Liz wrenches it open. What's inside isn't Roger. It's Hellboy.
  • Circles: When Doug breaks up with Linda, she cries and drops her wedding book on the floor and the next shot reveals a tested positive pregnancy test next to the book.
  • Disney Ducks Comic Universe: The ending of "Back to Xanadu" by Don Rosa. The Ducks spend the whole story searching for the lost Mongol treasure, discover that Tralla La is the mythical Xanadu, but end up losing the crown of Kublai Khan that Scrooge had obtained in a previous story after narrowly saving the city from a disaster that the Ducks themselves created. The chief is then given the crown by a villager and curses the Mongol legacy before throwing it in the giant whirlpool beneath the city, which is shown to contain the entire treasure of the Golden Horde.
  • Elsewhere (2017):
    • Lord Kragen takes his helmet off to Amelia… and reveals Fred Noonan, the person who she’s been searching for the entire comic up to that point.
    • At the end of Issue #5, we see black before the room brightens up to reveal a Korvathian native in a room, who is dragged away by U.S. Soldiers.
  • Ex Machina tells the story of Mitchell Hundred, superhero turned Mayor of New York City. In the first issue, the world looks identical to ours despite Hundred's presence...until the last panel which shows one of the Twin Towers still standing and Hundred lamenting that he couldn't save both.
  • Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors: A single finger-wag from Jason in response to a trap he would have ordinarily fallen for is a cue for the heroes — and the readers — that Jason can think now.
  • Judging it by the first few chapters, one might think that Alan Moore's From Hell is a generic historical conspiracy thriller about the Jack the Ripper murders...until the two shots late in the book, where we see through Gull's eyes as he glimpses a television set through a window and a steel-and-glass skyscraper in the middle of London, suddenly making it clear that his detailed mystical theories might be more than just theories.
  • G.I.Joe Special Missions has an issue where a trio of terrorists shoot up an airport, then take a family of three hostage. The Joe team does surveillance on the family's farmhouse and sees a mean-looking man holding a little boy hostage upstairs and two couples, one attractive and one sinister-looking, in the kitchen. The team concludes that the attractive couple are the boy's parents and the sinister-looking couple are the terrorists. Lady J goes in posing as a door-to-door saleswoman and speaks to the attractive woman. During the conversation, Lady J slips the woman a message saying they're mounting a rescue. The last panel on the page shows the woman reacting to the message. The reader turns the page and is treated to the woman shooting Lady J (who had the foresight to wear a bulletproof vest). It turns out the attractive couple were the terrorists and the sinister-looking couple were the boy's parents.
  • Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters showcases, not only did Godzilla survive a nuclear blast, he now has an Atomic Ray to boot.
  • Judgment Day (EC Comics): An astronaut is deciding whether a planet of robots is fit for membership in The Federation. He judges against them because the orange robots discriminate against the blue robots. In the final panel, he takes off his helmet, revealing himself to be a black man.
  • The last page of Issue 2 of the Kulipari: Heritage comic shows that Lord Marmoo is Back from the Dead.
  • Speaking of Alan Moore, Issue 4 of the first volume of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen features one on the very last page. Might count as something of a Genius Bonus — Professor Moriarty's physical appearance isn't quite as ingrained in pop-culture as that of his Arch-Nemesis Sherlock Holmes, but it's a still dead ringer for Sidney Paget's original illustrations of him, and the Wham Line "It's James. Call me James" just cements it.
  • Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) #25, the first part of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Shattered Grid has the splash page of Lord Drakkon, the Evil Counterpart of Green Ranger Tommy Oliver, running his heroic counterpart through with Saba. This is topped a few pages later with Kimberly mourning over Tommy's lifeless body.
  • The final page of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) Issue #6, revealing the identity and form of the new Nightmare Moon.
    Shadowfright: Now the Elements of Harmony will be destroyed and Ponyville will be defenseless! Meet our new Queen...Nightmare Rarity!
  • Several close issues of Revival: a truck full of human body parts, a reviver escaping the quarantine, a reviver Creepy Child self-mutilating, and a reviver's pregnancy are some of them.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog-based comic books are loaded with these (some as part of a broader Wham Episode), often at the end of an issue.
  • Transformers: More than Meets the Eye:
    • The Shadowplay arc is a series of flashbacks to Optimus Prime (then Orion Pax) saving thousands of innocents from a bomb planted by a corrupt senator, and investigating a lab designed for mutilation and Mind Rape with the help of several empowered bots, an unnamed honest senator, Ratchet, Chromedome (then Tumbler), and Roller. They save the day, with Optimus bringing down the bad guys, removing the bomb, and the non-corrupt Senator being taken away by the enforcers so Roller won't be killed. In the present, the purpose of the story, to bring a patient out of a coma, fails, but he's awakened by other means. Orion meets his predecessor Zeta and we see the senator was taken away to the lab, lobotomized and given a new body with an all-too-familiar cyclops head. One worker says his name is Shockwave. The arc is really his Start of Decepticon Allegiance, even named after the procedure that turned him this way.
    • Another IDW Transformers Wham Shot appears when the last page of the GI Joe crossover reveals Unicron.
    • Later in the series, while making their way through a quantum duplicate of the Lost Light, Nautica comes across Brainstorm's body and discovers that he's been wearing a face mask the whole time (previously, he had the "no-mouth" appearance common to many Transformers). Nightbeat then picks up said mask, and discovers why he didn't tell anyone: There's a Decepticon insignia on the back.
    • Lost Light #22 reveals that several characters are in actuality the Guiding Hand, the five bots/assumed higher powers who helped make Cybertron as the cast knows it. When Whirl assumes that the giant transformed Cybertron rampaging outside of the ship is Primus, Adaptus sets him straight by pointing out the person who is. That character? None other than frikkin' RUNG, the cast's Butt-Monkey psychologist.
  • Wild's End: After spending all night running from the lamppost-shaped aliens, Susan and Peter eventually make their way into town, only to discover the entire street is lined with alien lampposts.
