1!!The comic:

3 [[caption-width-right:350:The Crow said DON'T LOOK!]]
4* A ''lot'' of scenes, especially some of Eric's more surreal grief scenes (horse + barbed wire) and his self-mutilation.
5* After Eric is shot in the head a second time, drops to the ground. Still alive, he is facing Shelly as she cries his name, is raped, shot in the head and raped some more, (yes, in that order) unable to move or even close his eyes while the crow tells him "Don't look, Eric! Don't look!"
6* Quite a few of the vigilante murder scenes, especially Tom Tom's (who has the lower parts of his legs sliced off by a samurai sword and slowly bleeds to death).
7* The final showdown with T-Bird and his dozen or so gangland allies. Eric, now stripped to the waist, ''dares'' them all to shoot him. They do, and the single-panel splash image of Eric's naked torso being perforated by what look like hundreds of bullets is about as horrifying as it gets. But there's more: Eric then embarks on the conclusion of his RoaringRampageOfRevenge, [[MookHorrorShow slaughtering one thug after another in an almost effortless spree of carnage]]. The [[FinalGirl Final Boy]], having hung back until the very end, finally steps right up to Eric, shoots him point-blank in the skull (splattering blood all over Eric's face), and sneers: "Walk away from ''that'', motherfucker." Not only does the shot ''not'' kill Eric, but he promptly makes the last guy pay by shoving him face-first into a brick wall with superhuman effort, instantly turning the guy's head into something resembling a ketchup-slathered omelette. Then Eric licks all the blood off his face.
