I was looking through (aka cataloging) my collection the other day and stumbled upon "X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills" OGN.

Without even cracking the cover my mind immediately flashed to the scene where Colossus faces down a car getting ready to run him down...he puts his fist through the hood, the car flips over him and he is standing there holding the engine.

That was one of the greatest scenes in a comic book ever.

There are so, SO, many.

What comic book stories do you just see the book and immediately just flash to a panel or scene in the book.
A scene that stuck with you through the years.

(and...I couldn't find mine, but if you can find yours to actually post the sequence...that'd be great.)

The scene that sprang immediately to my mind is the end of "The Death of Superman" in SUPERMAN 149. Supergirl, until then still keeping her existence a secret, bursts in to capture Luthor and haul him off to Kandor for trial. Then she goes "on patrol", with Krypto at her side.

Tearing up just typing these words!

Gwen Stacy falling off the bridge, Spidey snagging her foot with his webline, her neck breaking.

Just a sad moment in comics on many levels.

Superman Annual #11, "For the Man Who Has Everything": after Superman gets knocked by Mongul through a wall (floor?) in his fortress, he turns back to Mongul and just says, "Burn.", firing a searing slash of heat vision across Mongul's chest.

It's been over-used since then, but that first time, it was chilling.

Cyclops throws coffee on Wolverine's face and starts a fight in order to
get him out of a funk from facing Proteus. Best "leader" bit I ever seen
him deliver.

For all the wrong reasons. Totally out of character for Superman.

Spider-man's heroic lifting of the unliftable at the end of the Master Planner Trilogy, inside the below cover.  Ditko was gone not long after that... for me it's the crowning achievement of his amazing run on that title.
