Any comics made you cry?

DVG

Ultimate Spider-man on more than one occasion has made me laugh so hard that I shed a few tears.

Ethan Smith

Maus,

At the beginning of volume 2 when he's become little more then the "Holocaust guy" to the public

holyfool

Frank Miller's Batman Year One - Issue 4

Jim Gordon: "--I listen-- the radiator hisses, spits water on the street--"
"--I don't hear a human sound--" "--I don't hear my baby cry--"

Also Neil Gaiman's Sandman Worlds' End TPB

At the very end, the bloody moon and the funeral procession, Death's expression of sadness against the starry sky. "But I'll always love her. All My Life"

There's actually way more, but I don't want to sound like the wuss I am.

Oh, New X-Men

I just read Brad Meltzer's Archer's Quest and thought the part where

Ollie reveals that he knew about Connor all along

was pretty sad.

Wow. Apparently I have a heart of stone.

Calamity Jane

Punisher: The End

PART ONE!

You see:

Over the course of the story, an aging Punisher and his companion escape from prison and into nuclear fallout in order to find the last traces of humanity left in bunkers. If all the devastation caused by full scale nuclear wasn't depressing enough, it gets much worse when he and his companion find the survivors.

When he awakens, he is told the radiation is killing him and his buddy.

Frank doesn't have much time. He kills the dudes guarding him, and the doctor that informed him he's dying.

What follows has to be one of the most brutal, merciless and utterly goddamned depressing things I've ever read:






Punisher: The End isn't set in any explicitly stated universe. It is simply the conclusion of the idea of the Punisher, and what it would fully bring about if taken to the fullest extent. To that end, the Punisher is faced with his ultimate decision. THE ultimate decision:









While Frank isn't exactly in the wrong for this, the ramifications for his actions are horrendous. After butchering them, what comes next is WORSE. IF THAT WERE SOMEHOW POSSIBLE.

END OF PART ONE

Balefuego

Y:The Last Man has a few times.

Issues 57 and 58 especially

Calamity Jane

Punisher: The End

PART TWO

The end of the story has to be one of the most heartbreaking things I've read in a comic book. There's no way to adequately state that this is only thing I've read that's made me well up a bit as I've read it.

It's a black-hearted monster drowning in the abysmal depths of man's inhumanity to man:

aaaaauuuuuurrrrggghhh

Yeah, but the guy was a piece of shit so fuck him.

I actually found The Captain's vision in Nextwave 11# very sad.

They were all sad, even Machine Man's vision of himself as a customer service drone.

I'm sorry

what?

I wanted to respond to that particular post too but it seemed like such a flame bait. I mean, dude could have just said "I must be the only who thought the book was overrated" or something to that effect.

The one that always got me was the issue of Ultimate X-Men where a kid is just coming into his powers, and it turns out that not every power is a "gift"

What

either of you care to explain yourselves?

ben0207

Err, well basically they don't enjoy a book that is objectively brilliant.

I think they're maybe retarded, I don't know.

What is your icon from, ben? It reminds me of some old Legos I used to have.

The Blacktron sets from back in the late 80s, early 90s to be precise.

Well Algertman is retarded so I'm going to assume the same about the other guy.

Or maybe they were actually involved in the Holocaust and don't like to see their actions demonized.

They couldn't prove it at Nuremberg and you can't prove it now.

I can't remember the exact issue but it was an issue of Uncanny X-Men and a tie-in to the Onslaught storyline. The scene was basically an all-out battle against Onslaught where he finally revealed that he was independent of Xavier, which he demonstrates by opening his armor and revealing Xavier being tortured inside of him.
There's this one panel where it's half of Cyclop's face and he's totally pissed. All he says is "Take him", at which point Thor flies right the fuck through Onslaught, saving Xavier.

I specifically remember that scene bringing tears of joy to my eyes.

One I really loved took place at the very beginning, then the very end of 52.

At the start of 52, Booster Gold shows up at the memorial statues of Superboy/Superman in Metropolis, because Skeets, his robotic companion and personal historian, has told him that by doing so he'll meet the Justice League, and be invited into its ranks. It'll be the greatest Justice League of all time, and Jimmy Olsen will win a Pulitzer Prize for the photograph he takes of the historic event. Booster's understandably excited. He shows up and is all flash and bravado, and at just the right moment turns with a flourish to present-- nobody. The Justice League is running late. Everyone's turning to look at him like he just pissed on the Superboy statue. Growing more flustered by the second, as Skeets rattles off each minute as they pass by with the Justice League nowhere in sight, and all his fellow heroes turning their backs on him in disgust, Booster finally makes a grab for Olsen's camera, hysterically screaming something like, "Take the picture! Take the picture Olsen! This is your Howitzer!"

After the amazingly shitty time Booster had prior to and then during the Infinite Crisis, you just felt awful for the guy.

Then at the very end of the series, Skeets is preparing to sacrifice himself to save the megaverse and stop Mr. Mind. Booster protests, not wanting to lose yet another friend, but Skeets selflessly insists, "Michael, if I am to leave this world, let it be as a Pulitzer."

Booster sniffs and smiles, "That's Howitzer."

I may put up scans of this later when I'm not lazy.

DC Identity Crisis definitely made me tear up. Poor Elongated Man.

52 made me tear up as well. Specifically the last issue...

"THIS ONE'S FOR THE BLUE AND GOLD!"

"Honey, your nose is twitching..."

I just read The Goon's Chinatown. No wonder the poor guy always gets angry when someone brings "Chinatown" up.

The sequence of full-page illustrations where he's just looking into the mirror and slowly losing it was very well done.

I've never read the Goon, but have really wanted to. Would Chinatown be a good place to start?

So I read 'Identity Crisis' for the first time this week.

Four times. Four times that sodding book made me cry! Not just slightly emotional little tears, but full on crying! Dear God!

The fact that Whedon wrote the into should have been a clue, really.

Romero Zombie

Pride of Baghdad had me really choked up at the end. It was really well written.

Not really. The normal Goon comic is a goofy, the Three Stooges meet the Mob meets Lovecraft meets Dawn of the Dead kind of thing. It has its serious moments, but it's mostly upbeat and weird. Chinatown, to paraphrase the opening page, "ain't funny." It's much darker and sadder, and might not make a lot of sense if you haven't read the rest of it. The first trade is probably the best way to get into Goon.

like, because it was terrible or what?

Bloods End

People who don't know about, or who don't read a lot of comics really like Identity Crisis story. I think it's a really good story, but if you know the characters and the history you'll like it less.

I don't know, something like that.

I 2nd this notion... I had a bad felling what did happen was going to happen, but I tricked myself into not believing it. All sorts of quality that book is.
