    Default Has a comic ever made you cry?

    Be honest, have you ever shead a tear because of a comic? I don't find it any different from being moved by a book or a movie or even a cartoon (watch the Futurama episode about Fry's dog and if you don't cry, you're not human. Seriously.)

    The ending to Y: The Last Man had me in tears. Not the last few pages but about the last 1/2 of the book from the point when

    Garth Ennis' War Stories collection has a story named "D-day dodgers". I read it at work and had to excuse myself. Incredible. I still remember the line "with wine on your lips and tears in your eyes".

    So?

    Comics make me cry all the time. Actually, I'm kind of a big wuss when it comes to reading/watching TV or movies, I cry way more from them than I do in real life. The first comic that ever made me cry was Amazing Spider-Man #33, where Spider-man is trapped under a collapsed building but needs to get a serum to Aunt May, who is dying in the hospital, to save her life. I still get emotional every time I look at that cover.

    Another intense one was during the Sandman when Delirium regains a little bit of her sanity and flips out on Destiny, telling him that there are things not written in his book.

    I'm sure I've cried a lot more I definitely cried during Garth Ennis' Battlefields: The Night Witches and probably during Preacher also.
    I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.

    The comic "The Dark Tower Series" made me cry a lot! When Roland's love Susanne gets set on fire and she yells "Roland I love thee" Reading that in the book always upset me, but when I saw it drawn in comic form, I balled like a baby.

    When Roland shoots his mother accidentally and kills her. Just to see the look on his face the way it was drawn in the comic. Then when he faints over his dead mothers body. I cried for two hours!

    Great topic.

    Three comics come to mind immediately, and no surprise, they're some of my all time favorites.

    The Dark Phoenix Saga, without a doubt, I was truly moved and did cry.
    Maus. Very powerful.
    Daredevil -
    Spoiler:
    The Death of Elektra
    . A wonderfully written storyline.
    The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

    ...And The Gunslinger Followed.

    Honestly, I probably would cry from comics if I read more of them.

    The only ones I have taken the time to read are The Dresden File adaptations, The Dark Tower ones, and Scott Pilgrim. None of those have yet to make me cry, but books do all the time, so reason stands that eventually I will run across a comic that has the same effect.
