Judge Dredd (comics)/Awesome

Judge Fear's comeuppance at the hand of the titular character: "Gaze into the fist of Dredd!"
- For those who have seen this line all over this wiki and still wonder what that means: Judge Fear's face causes most of those who see it to die of fright. Judge Dredd's response on seeing it? Putting his fist through Fear's face and out the back of his head. That is why it is awesome.
- For those who wnat to see that iconic panel it is at that other wiki
The climax to The Apocalypse War, where Dredd has the ability to end the war by wiping out East-Meg One - killing five hundred million people with nuclear fire - while being pleaded with not to... and then presses the button. "You shouldn't start wars if you can't take the consequences!"
"You forget, Spikes... if someone calls on the law for help... the law cannot turn a blind eye! AND I AM THE LAW!"
In a more villainous form, the iconic shot in "America" of Dredd standing on the gunned-down body of a Democratic terrorist, the American flag on her and covered in blood: "Justice has a price. That price is freedom."
In "Goodnight Kiss", Dredd is crucified in the Cursed Earth, starving to death, and hallucinating... and then rips his way free of the cross to go find the villain.
One single-issue gag strip has Dredd assaulted by a gang of hoodlums in his own apartment while he's taking a bath. The thugs are heavily-armed, Dredd has nothing but his wits and his fists, but after the six pages are up he's taken them all down. And goes calmly back to his bath, all without once removing his frickin' helmet.
