three years and two comic series all leading up to one single glorious moment
I liked this one as well! I thought Hickman was going to go the Earth X route with Franklin and Galactus, but stil...great!
Moments? Agent 355 in Y: the Last Man...the entire issue where she and Yorick have THAT moment, and the heartbreaking thing that happens to her later. My reaction then was Fuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkk!
And I agree with @Torchsong on Captain Marvel in Kingdom Come...
Iron Fist muttering the names of all those Kung-fu moves during the Fraction-Brubaker's run...
Star Lord's heroic sacrifice with Nova at the end of Thanos Imperative...
And still, Wolverine from the sewers!!! Read that when I was a kid, and it really still hits home!
Captain America telling the soldiers to intimidate Banner in the helicopter overhead so they could get the Hulk into battle with the Chitauri in the Ultimates :D
Ultimates Cap... "you think this A stands for France"!? Cant rememeber the book (Marvel Comics Presents?) Punisher fighting Wolverine where Punisher ends up pinning Wolverine under a steam roller.

Wolverine also spent that issue running around with a skull-face, since Frank shot him point-blank with a shotgun.
Speaking of the Ultimates - Cap beating the holy living crap out of Hank Pym was pretty damn epic.
him biting the poisonous snake to get a mouthful of venom to spit in the bad guys face (wow that sounds horrible the way I put it but the writer did a much better job) in the ultimate cap mini series was pretty awesome too
have a feeling he's about to have another awesome moment in the new stuff, or at least i hope so
In brunaker's daredevil run. A man is seen reading a newspaper in a diner about matt murdock having been incarcerated. Outside a mugger holds a woman at knife-point while police try to reason with him. The man in the diner calmly walks out, snaps the guys neck and raises his hands to the cops revealing a shirt with a white skull spray painted on it.
The cops realising who it is scream into their radios 'We need back-up! '

Watchmen changed my reading of comics altogether, but this moment compared to all others, I knew I wouldn't be the same when making future decisions, I'd make sure to say and stand up for what I believe in.
Thor #356 - Hercules is out and about with Jarvis, they encounter some kids in the park and Hercules begins telling story after story of besting Thor, potraying himself as the pinnacle of all champions and Thor as anything but heroic. Towards the end Hercules realizes that one of the kids idolizes Thor, and Herc gives Thor the final victory in the last story.
A couple Morrison JLA thoughts; Batman striking a match revealing himself, and a pool of gasoline that he has poured on the floor to invading White Martians.
The Atom riding light waves into Darksieds brain to kill him.
From Batman RIP, The reveal that Batman has a "boot-up" personality.
Any issue of All Star Superman.
Crazy eyed Bruce Wayne stating that Wayne Enterprises is bankrolling Batman.
Superman, "Burn."
Barry Allen's death.
Adam Warlock travels forward in time to take the soul of his future self. and conversely; A dying Adam Warlock has his soul taken by his "younger" self.
Elfquest; The reveal that the forest Elves had mated with wolves.
Superman "singing" Darksied out of existence.
During Dave Cockrum's first run on X-Men, Storm would get naked quite often.
My favorite characters are Superman, The Question, and Spider-Man. My favorite Superman moment is in All-Star Superman when Superman flies into the sun with no second thought to it. I thought it was poetic that his powers come from the sun and his final act is giving all of himself back to the sun.
Thor #356 - Hercules is out and about with Jarvis, they encounter some kids in the park and Hercules begins telling story after story of besting Thor, potraying himself as the pinnacle of all champions and Thor as anything but heroic. Towards the end Hercules realizes that one of the kids idolizes Thor, and Herc gives Thor the final victory in the last story.
One from the Ultimates as Hulk is battling the Abomination: "What's the square root of six million, two hundred and eleventy?
And from Batman The Animated Series. There is one Christmas episode where Batman and Robin use baseball bats to take out a bunch of Joker's toy planes, and when they're done Robin says:

My eyes water everytime I watch it.

There are a lot of other ones but I can't remember off the top of my head.
"That's not funny.... that's not--"
Kid: "You're gonna kick the Joker's ass, right?"
Batman (bloody and bruised): "Watch...watch your language, son..."
As Luthor's Plane blows up with Joker still inside:
