* ''ComicBook/SunnySeries'':
** Sunny reads about volcano eruptions, particularly Pompeii, for a school project in ''Sunny Side Up'', and uses it to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject when her father and older brother Dale are fighting at dinner one night. When she finally loses her temper at Gramps continuing to smoke during her visit later in the book, there's a scene of an erupting volcano in her vision for a second before she rants about everything that's upset her recently including her brother Dale and his drug abuse.
** Sunny stops a fight between her father and older brother Dale over dinner [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject by talking suddenly about Pompeii]] in ''Sunny Side Up''. She later tries to intervene between them again on the Fourth of July in the same book, and this time Dale is so drunk and belligerent he swings out and hits her on accident in the process.
** In ''Swing It, Sunny'', Deb is not pleased at the idea of being Swamp Thing for Halloween -- she doesn't know who he is and isn't interested when Sunny explains -- and instead wants to be nurses after watching ''Series/GeneralHospital'', which Sunny goes along with. Sunny also fumbles with makeup when they play dress up, which she's not fond of. By the time of ''Sunny Rolls the Dice'' Deb and Sunny have gone on different friend paths with Deb interested in boys, fads and fashion, and makeup and dismissive of Sunny's interests including playing ''Dungeons and Dragons'' with boys. Sunny tries to stay connected to Deb but eventually [[ProudToBeAGeek embraces her geeky ways]] and she and Deb [[WeUsedToBeFriends go their separate ways as friends]].

** In the very first appearance of the Gentleman in "Welcome to Astro City" (published in 1996), there is a crowd of people, including a girl with pigtails in a green sweater. [[spoiler:She's the reason he exists.]] This doesn't get explained until issue #43 of the Vertigo series (published in 2017), making this over ''20 years'' of foreshadowing.
** In "Justice Systems", Vincent Oleck gets flashes of a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds black featureless void beyond reality,]] filled with [[VengefulGhost hungry and vengeful]] {{Eldritch Abomination}}s. This is explored later in "The Dark Age" story arc.
** The end of "Thumbtacks & Yarn" has the Broken Man holding some newspaper clippings about the Menagerie Gang, the Ore-Master and the Silver Adept, all of whom are mentioned or featured in following issues.
** "The Sorcerer's Assistant" makes mention that there was a "silver harmony" about Astro City that drew the Silver Adept to it, or possibly an absence. [[spoiler:Something that takes on a different light after the stories about Silverstring and Glamorax.]]
** During "The Sky's the Limit", the narrator mentions the Gentleman first appeared fighting the Bund-o-teurs, but despite this there was damage and death, including children being orphaned, and one specific man in a green sweater. These details prove to be very important a few issues later.

** During "Return of the Archons", Spock questions Kirk's usage of the Prime Directive when the latter impulsively decides to start a phaser fight in the caverns underneath the planet.

Later, in ''Into Darkness'', [[spoiler:Bones uses the same Tribble to run tests on Khan's blood, which is what eventually gives him the knowledge necessary to save Kirk's life]].

** In issue 6, Uhura confronts Spock about his increasingly reckless, nigh-DeathSeeker behavior. This becomes a major plot point in Act One of ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', where he's finally snapped out of it after mind-melding with a dying man.
** During Scotty's {{Flashback}} story, the captain on a ship he visits offers to put him in touch with a "Commander Marcus", who can help him get into Starfleet. This reference occurred several years before ''Admiral'' Marcus appeared in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''. This also makes Scotty's sabotage of the ''Vengeance'' in that film (against the man who referred him to Starfleet in the first place) an amusing bit of {{Irony}}.
