9	* ''ComicBook/BePrepared'': The first song sung at the camp is "Be Prepared"--it's in Russian and is a song about how Russian expats should always be prepared to stand for their Russian homeland. Notably, Vera is not prepared as she doesn't have her songbook to sing along.
10	* In ''ComicBook/BillyMajesticsHumptyDumpty'', the nursery rhyme character namesake of the monster is brought up when Pervis Brakk points out to his brother Petus that the creature looks like Humpty Dumpty.
11	* ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'' doesn't get a TitleDrop until issue #86, when [[Comicbook/{{Blackhawk}} Lady Blackhawk]] suggests that it might be a fitting name for the team. It is immediately rejected by everybody else on the team.
12	* ''ComicBook/BlackScience'':
13	** Grant refers to the dimension-hopping pillar technology as black science. Other characters like Doxta pick it up from him.
14	** One flashback to Mr Block's lab shows that someone has graffitied "Block Science" to "Black Science".
15	* Two-Gun Kid hopes to go out in a ComicBook/BlazeOfGlory in the last issue of the eponymous miniseries. The last we see of him [[spoiler: ALIVE, that is]], he's jumping into certain death to kill as many nightriders as he can.
16	* ''ComicBook/BlueIsTheWarmestColor'': At one point Clémentine comments on the different shades of blue.
17	* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'':
18	** In Creator/DonRosa's Uncle Scrooge story "Last Sled to Dawson", after Uncle Scrooge's Yukon Gold Rush-era dog sled is dislodged from the glacier in which it had been trapped for decades and slides into the town square, one of the nephews quips "The last sled to Dawson has finally arrived!"
19	** In Carl Barks's story "Back to the Klondike", Uncle Scrooge says to a confused Donald Duck "You're going with me - Back to the Klondike!"
20	* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'': "[[http://www.empoweredcomic.com/comic/volume-2-page-76 Wahh, Wahh, Wahh]]" is dropped as the start of [[http://www.empoweredcomic.com/comic/volume-2-page-80 "Wahh, Wahh, Wahh, I can't breathe!"]]
21	* ''ComicBook/FinePrint'': After Merryl offers her the golden contract, Lauren wants to know about the fine print, i.e. the catch.
22	* ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil2013'': Ultraman concludes his speech to his villainous crowd by saying "[[PretentiousLatinMotto Aeternus Malum]]. Forever Evil.".
23	* ''ComicBook/HybridForce'': After stopping [[BigBad Dr. Insomnia]]'s plan to [[spoiler:use a KillSat to threaten the Earth into making him ruler]], Prince Prince Stavros holds a press conference where he announces a team of heroes composed of Thorn, Octo, and Lizard Lady[[spoiler:, and Star]].
24	-->'''Prince Stavros:''' Let me introudce... '''Hybrid Force.'''
25	* From the 1989 ''Franchise/JamesBond'' comic ''Permission to Die''.
26	-->'''Q''': Do be careful, 007. Her Majesty may have granted you a license to kill, but that doesn't give you permission to die.
27	* ''ComicBook/LegendsOfTheDeadEarth'': In ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' Annual #7, Wildfire says that due process is "one of the greatest legends of the dead Earth."
28	* In ''ComicBook/LostAtSea'', Raleigh drops the title as the last line of the comic.
29	* ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures: ComicBook/IronMan'' #6 has the phrase "Destructive Reentry" used ''twice''. It's a [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Title]], considering the issue.
30	* Scootaloo's assertion on how the Mane Six will recover from being split into pairs, in issue #3 of ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW''.
31	* ComicBook/TheNewUniverse comic Kickers, Inc. ended its first issue with the team [[SpeakInUnison in unison]], shouting, "Kickers, Inc!"
32	* The four-part comic series based on ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'' managed a purely visual example by depicting Wirt tripping over a (very low) garden wall.
33	* "To be human, truly human, is to accept that sometimes we are heroes.. Sometimes we are victor.. and sometimes we are ComicBook/{{Powerless}}."
34	* Although not a verbal one, ''ComicBook/{{Sandcastle}}'' ends on the note of Zoe and Louis' daughter building a sandcastle.
35	* Three of the ''ComicBook/SinCity'' books' ("A Dame to Kill For," "The Big Fat Kill," and "That Yellow Bastard") titles occur in either dialogue or narration. The film adaptation also works in the first story's retroactive title, "The Hard Goodbye,".
36	* In one issue of the ''ComicBook/SonicX'' comic book, Sonic was abducted by the '''S'''ociety for '''O'''bserving and '''N'''eutralizing '''I'''nterdimensional '''C'''reatures and '''X'''enomorphs. Guess what the acronym for that is.
37	* The first big ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' event of the ''ComicBook/BrandNewDay'' era made sneaky use of this trope. It had what sounded like a pretty typical comic title until Norman Osborn dropped it in-story:
38	-->'''Osborn:''' For every life you save...there's a million '''new ways to die.'''
39	* In the [[spoiler:final panel]] of Spider-Gwen, she introduces herself to some firemen by saying:
40	-->'''Gwen:''' Me? I'm Spider-Gwen.
41	* ''ComicBook/{{Starslayer}}'': The weapon used to collapse Sol into a black hole was a 'Starslayer Missile'. At the end of the arc, refugees from the Sol system have dubbed Torin himself as 'The Starslayer', though he was never directly addressed as that in the comic.
42	* ''ComicBook/SunnySeries'':
43	** As Sunny is headed home after her trip to Florida, her grandpa tells her to keep her "sunny side up" before she boards the plane.
44	** Neela, her new neighbor, tells her to "swing it, Sunny!" when she's performing flag twirling for her family and friends.
45	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
46	** ''ComicBook/ReignOfDoomsday'': When Cyborg Superman discovers [[spoiler:Luthor has created an army of Doomsday enhanced clones]]:
47	--->'''Cyborg Superman:''' "[Luthor] seems to have put in place... The '''Reign''' of the '''Doomsdays'''!"
48	** ''ComicBook/TheLeperFromKrypton'': As gloating, Luthor declares: "Superman...Wherever you are! This is my sweetest possible revenge! You are now the Leper from Krypton!"
49	* Spider Jerusalem describes The Word as a "great ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}} newspaper". This is the only mention of the series' title.
50	* In DC Comics' weekly series ''ComicBook/Trinity2008'', every story (there's two per issue) is named for a snippet of dialogue. Since "Trinity", while it refers to the main characters, isn't an official team name, its repeated use qualifies as well.
51	* Issue 24 of Robert Kirkman's ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead''. It gets a double-page spread to itself, and then another page when it's repeated.
52	-->[[spoiler:'''Rick:''' It's obvious now that I'm the only sane one here! We already are savages, Tyreese. You especially! The second we put a bullet in the head of one of these undead monsters -- the moment one of us drives a hammer into one of their faces -- or cut a head off. We become what we '''are!''' And that's just it. That's what this comes down to. You people don't know what we are. We're surrounded by the dead. We're '''among''' them -- and when we finally give up '''we become them!''' We're living on borrowed time here. Every minute of our life is minute we steal from '''them!''' You see them out there. You '''know''' that when we die -- we '''become''' them. You think we hide behind walls to protect us from '''the walking dead!''' Don't you '''get it!?''']]\
53	[[spoiler:'''Rick:''' '''We''' ''are'' '''the walking dead!''']]\
54	[[spoiler:'''Rick:''' '''We''' are the walking dead.]]
55	* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' almost does this with the phrase "Who Watches the Watchmen?" but the graffiti is never shown completely.
56	** In [[Film/{{Watchmen}} The Movie]], "Watchmen" is the name of the alliance. However, the graffiti still remains.
57	** Ozymandias mentions that JFK had part of a speech he intended to give in Dallas that read "We in this country, in this generation, are by destiny rather than choice, the '''watchmen''' on the walls of world freedom." Unfortunately, he was assassinated (possibly by the Comedian), by those Ozymandias described as on "the walls of world tyranny," before he could deliver it.
58	* ''Astonishing ComicBook/XMen'' had something of an example, with ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} saying that the team had to "astonish" the public if they were ever to be trusted again.
59	** Whedon's last issue, the Giant Sized special, is entitled "Gone". It's also the [[DownerEnding last word in the issue.]]
60	** Whedon's last issue also echoes Cyclops' comment from the first issue, as Kitty Pryde accepts [[HeroicSacrifice what she must do to save the world.]]
61	--->'''Kitty:''' Disapponted, Miss Frost?\
62	'''Emma:''' Astonished, Miss Pryde.
