This isn't really limited to one panel, but the last issue of Y: The Last Man had every single emotion tied up in a knot and hitting you as hard as it possibly could. I seriously teared up on the last panel. It ended perfectly. If someone could scan in the last page I'd be really happy.
I'm still waiting for someone to put up the panel of Ampersand in a tiny tuxedo biting Yorick's ear after a tearful reunion.
Um... how long is that finger? That just seems... wrong. Is it a demonic finger?

Spoilers because Ennis' run is rad and people should read it for themselves
Spoiler:
Constantine finds out he has cancer from smoking like a fiend. At about the same time, he loses his soul to the First of the Fallen, one of the top three in Hell when Lucifer's not there (which he isn't because of his own series but anyway), by way of insult after he keeps the First from claiming an old friend's soul
Because he doesn't want to be tortured for all eternity, he pulls a fast one: He sells his soul to both of the other lords of Hell, then slits his wrists. When all three show up, he tells them he planned this: The only way for them not to tear apart Hell by fighting over his soul, and thus letting Heaven win, is for them to heal his wrists and remove his cancer, and hope that he doesn't die anytime soon
They do it
And on the way out the door, the last page of the arc, he flips them off.

Too bad they're demons. You'd think given that they have eternity to play with, they'd be able to work out some kind of time share system. But no, they're demons and so they get to hold on to the idiot ball even harder then normal evils.

Now that is pretty cool, and it seems what Psychotic One wrote above is pretty much true.
The Ennis and Carey runs have some of my favorite moments in them
Not just for this series, but in comics in general
Geebs (or Servo maybe) posted the last few pages of Carey's run earlier in the thread, I think, and let me tell you something, while they're really dang cool on their own, in context they are just damn
The very last panel of Y: The Last Man made me cry so damn hard. Okay, most of the panels in the last issue made me cry, but everyone mentions "the scene in the snow" and no one ever mentions that very last panel. Damn near killed me.
