The tail of a comet always points away from the Sun, no matter which direction the comet is moving. This is because the Sun heats the comet up and blasts away the 'dirty ice' it's composed of, creating a tail that streams away from the Sun.
This means that a comet can actually be travelling such that it's tail is ahead of it.
