History StuffBlowingUp / ComicBooks

* In the prologue of ''ComicBookTheWickedAndTheDivine'', the Pantheon of 1923 blow themselves up to end that Recurrence.

* ''[[MeaningfulName Tinus Trotyl]]'' was all about this trope and NonfatalExplosions.

* The entire premise of Bing Bang Benny in ''ComicBook/TheDandy'', drawn by the brilliant KenReid, was that it was set in TheWildWest and the main character loved using explosives.
* In a {{Deadpool}} one-shot, he wants to hire a filmmaker to shoot a movie on his life (by the way, unusually for Deadpool, this is a pretty serious story, where the fourth wall remains intact). When he attends the premiere, he's utterly disappointed that the story of his life was essentially turned into this trope.

* This is the main power of at ''least'' 2 ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' characters: Remy "ComicBook/{{Gambit}}" [=LeBeau=], and Tabitha "Boom-Boom" Smith. Gambit charges objects (usually normal playing cards) with explosive energy, while Boom-Boom creates hand-held balls of similar power. Gambit is actually one of the most devastatingly powerful examples of this trope in fiction, or at least he would be if he didn't have surgery specifically to weaken his powers. One alternate universe Gambit who didn't have that surgery blew up the ''Earth''.

* ComicBook/TexWiller and his pards ''love'' blowing up stuff, and are so good at it that if it was a college course they could teach it (their words, not ours). Their crowning achievements are using a dynamite stick to ''open a door'' (in their defence, it was an armoured door and they couldn't afford to find the key) and using a few dozens to drain a reservoir.

* This is the job description of the ''{{Nextwave}}'' squad, and they love it.

-->'''WarrenEllis''': "It is people getting kicked, and then exploding. It is a pure comic book, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. And afterwards, they will explode."
* ''SinCity'' features a grenade-thrower whose grenades emit massive explosions that are strong enough to send cars flying... despite the fact that grenades don't work that way.

* This is the main power of at ''least'' 2 ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' characters: Remy "ComicBook/{{Gambit}}" [=LeBeau=], and Tabitha "Boom-Boom" Smith. Gambit charges objects (usually normal playing cards) with explosive energy, while Boom-Boom creates hand-held balls of similar power.

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' story ''Wake the Devil'', the vampire Count Giurescu ''and'' the cavalry horse he's riding explode into skeletal parts when Hellboy hits them with the post that he's been tied to. Naturally, though, that isn't the end of it.
-->'''Hellboy:''' That's interesting. No matter how hard you hit them, horses don't ''usually'' explode... vampires either, for that matter.

* ''SinCity'' features a grenade-thrower whose grenades emit massive explosions that are strong enough to send cars flying... despite the fact that grenades don't work that way.
* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', Count Von Deadly goes out this way, when he loses the ability to control his magic powers.
* In a {{Deadpool}} one-shot, he wants to hire a filmmaker to shoot a movie on his life (by the way, unusually for Deadpool, this is a pretty serious story, where the fourth wall remains intact). When he attends the premiere, he's utterly disappointed that the story of his life was essentially turned into this trope.
-->'''Deadpool:''' '''Aww, c'mon!''' Was it explosion discount week in Hollywood?
* In the German comic ''ComicBook/{{Werner}}'': Often at the climax of the story. %% This entry was added automatically by FELH2. In case the wording doesn't make sense, rewrite it as you like, remove this comment and tell this troper.
