The death of Sarah Essen hit me like a kick to the balls.

- Supergirl dying in Superman's arms in "Crisis"

- The "Venado Bay" issue of "The Legion of Superheroes". Rokk recalls his time during the Braal/Imsk war after Imsk set off a bomb that negated their natural magnetic powers and caused a lot of his comrades to explode. As Rokk talks about being near delirious, we get to see that he actually ran into Salu and he's the one who takes out her eye, leaving the scar on her face that we've seen the whole time, but never knew where it came from and why she never had it fixed. Now we know. The part where she's just lost here eye, yet pleading to her comrades to not kill Rokk always gets me.

No particular moment in mind but Superman: Secret Identity is one of the most intimate DC comics I've read. The contemplative guy getting some perspective on life, by floating way up in a city, or in space. Life as a canvas you know.

Definitely Final Night, when Ferro was rescued by Parallax (T^T):

[Gaius]

Wonder Woman spreading Myndi Mayer’s ashes from Annual #2.

[Citizen Kane]

Shazam sacrificing himself in Kingdom Come



Deadman saying goodbye to Dove in Brightest Day.



There are probably some other ones I can think of, but these are the ones that popped up to me first.

Definitely Final Night, when Ferro was rescued by Parallax (T^T):

The real tearjerker is that Hal Jordan didn't keep the white streaks in his hair.

The Nearness of You from Astro City 1/2 is probably the most emotionally moving comic I've ever read
