Any comics made you cry?

Kyougu

So I think almost any medium has that one example for a person that moved them to/close to tears. Videogames , movies, music, books, etc. I got to thinking, and wondered if any comic has ever ellicit that close to a response for anyone?

Seaguy, easily.

Man, We3.

silkypea

I guess Grant Morrison has the power to move.

Rhan9

Nope. We3 was okay, but nowhere near the crying level. I blame the society for allowing myself be desensitized.

Seriously though, in any form of media, I have difficulty finding stuff that elicits an emotional response.

We3 was kinda sad. It's the comic that's been the closest.

The Lovely Bastard

I cry every week I fork over the 2.99 for Countdown.

I want to drop it, but I am too invested right now.

I keep hoping my investment will be worth it.

One day.

Send in the UPCs from each issue at the end of the run and Dan Didio comes to your house to personally apologize to you?

no, he'll kill my dog because he's not selling enough issues.

The ending of Hitman got a tear out of me.

Isorn

There was this short backup story called Leah in the annual of friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. It was a bit depressing.

ManonvonSuperock

batman war on crime came pretty close.

these pages:

Dex Dynamo

We3 and Jimmy Corrigan

Bad Karma

Though I didn't actually cry, Catwoman #72 was pretty fucking heartwrenching.

Blackjack

I've never cried, but New X-Men 24 always, ALWAYS, gets me.

UndefinedMonkey

The end of Transmet, easily...

...although I was also laughing and shouting "you magnificent bastard you actually won you glorious piece of shit!" So they weren't strictly tears of sadness.

Also, the end of 30 Days of Night

When Eben just disappears and there's one panel where she's sitting in the sunlight, looking completely bewildered with tears streaming down her face, like her brain decided it wanted to cry but the rest of her body hadn't caught up yet.

that was surprisingly sad, even though you knew what was going to happen.

Algertman

Identity Crisis

Ralph and Sue moments, and Tim Drake's dad with Batman holding Tim next to his fallen father.

Bloods End

Starman.

So many moments.

DarkPrimus

Several parts of Sandman.

NAND NOR

Usagi Yojimbo - "The Duel"

holy shit

what the fuck

jkylefulton

Starman #80

Astro City Vol 2 #1

Fables #50

There's more.

delphinus

it wasnt exactly in tears, but X-Men Omega had me pretty moved that mags was fighting for a world he doesnt even know is real but has to have faith that itll exist, solely because it would be better than the piece of shit life his world knew.

and the final panels just holding his family, watching it all go white. his last words, thanking the best friend who shared his dream and saved his life.

PookieMan357

The Buffy season 8 one-shot between story arcs (The Chain, I think) had me pretty close.

weenus

I gotta be honest, after recently catching up on Runaways, I definitely welled up at a part towards the recent issues.

100 Bullets when the Jazz Trumpet player falls face first into a bear trap was heart wrenching.

vrempire

Yaaa...I got one Hong Kong comic that makes me cry. It is called "Feng Yun" or The Stormrider. The fighting storyline is mixed with the melodrama storyline.

Oh, god, I have no idea what's going on in 100 Bullets, but there scene where

The Minuteman find that one Colonel Sanders looking fellow fucking some chick in the woods, make his family watch, and then kill them one at a time in front of him.

Lostprophet8

Generation Next from the Age of Apocalypse. The final scene where Colossus comes back to the Core as it is locking down and realized he left his team to die so he could save his sister. Heavy stuff.

Yeah, but

Then they had to go and fuck it all up in the 10th anniversary mini by resurrecting Jean, who saved the stupid reality.

One of the better moments in all of Age of Apocalypse. I loved how genuinely pissed Kitty was about it.

I WENT TO THE COMIC SHOP AND SHUT MY EYES AND WALKED OUT. NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER AGE OF APOCALYPSE! MARVEL WENT ON VACATION!

Mr Pink

There was this one issue of the old Gargoyles comic where Broadway fell in love with this vampire chick and it was all sad and stuff. I remember reading that issue when I was like, 14, and it made me choke back a few tears. Incedentally, it also solidified my love of comics.

DouglasDanger

WE3.

This is a question Eric Shanower (Age of Bronze) asks a lot. And it's a good one, because, yeah, I do have a hard time thinking of comics that move me as much as certain movies or songs. But there are a few, and come to think of it a lot of them are Morrison. He's good at this.

- The end of Flex Mentallo, when

Flex saves young Wally, and adult Wally realizes the pills he took were just M&Ms

makes me well up every time - but from manly awesomeness, of course. And, naturally, the last page:

- Just about all of Seven Soldiers #1.

- All-Star Superman #5.

- The last issue of The Invisibles

Kipling217

Reading Barefoot Gen for the first time and when the book comes to the aftermath of the Hiroshima Bombing

Gen's father,brother and sister are trapped by a beam of wood. over the course of several pages Gen tries to save them from an aproching fire but fails.

Made me cry and scared the living bejesus out of me. I was 13 at the time and this was my first manga I ever read. I read it several times and everytime I came to those pages I dreaded it, but I had to read them, because they where so vital to the story.

It was also the first truly grownup Comic I read, dealing with adult issues such as war. Defined my atitude towards comics and Manga. Made me a bit of a snob towards mainstream comics really.

DraXXXen

I saw this thread a few days ago but didn't venture in as I could not recall an instance and thusly had nothing to add. Then today I picked up we3 at lunch for some reading since, not knowing what the hell I was getting into. Damn you we3....DAMN you! Of course had to get back to work and find this thread, only to find everyone else has posted we3 already.

*sniff* poor poor 1, 2, and 3. Fuck you 4. Oh no.

Best comic i've read in awhile.

Xaquin

The single panel in Kingdom Come where grown up Billy Batson cries while Superman is holding his mouth shut makes me cry everytime.

Desktop Hippie

Watchmen. Twice.

First when the news stand guy hugs the kid to comfort him as they die, and second when the former Silk Spectre kisses The Comedian's photograph and puts it back beside her bed.

New X-Men 24 made me cry too. And that Buffy season 8 issue 'The Chain', so I'll add my vote to both of those. Also, the "how did Buffy change your life?" story that won the competition to be a minor character in the season 8 comic made me cry too.

Xaquin

Also, in Watchmen

when Dr. Manhatten kills Rorschach

and again in Cerebus

when Jaka bring Cerebus back his sword

I'm a big softie.

Woops. I forgot that I had channeled my nice self from an evil dimension where Marvel put out a true X-book abomination in 2005. But, of course, that never happened in this reality.

Goddamn Earth A Crimsondude.

Wildcat

The end couple of pages of Superman: Birthright put a lump in my throat every time I read them.

Doodmann

Animal Man, Well there were a couple of spots that moved me but I think the Wil-e-Cyote one put me over the edge.
