Has a comic book ever brought tears to your eyes?

Why don't you go first. Sort of traditional.

Hell, yeah! Starman #19, "Talking with David '96." Jack and David meet up again and Jack fills him in on what has happened over the past year. Jack has grown into the role of hero, finding his true calling. David sets up a bit of fun, with an old sailing ship and a battle with pirates, just like when they imagined as kids. David saves a special surprise for the end. As they near the dock, Jack sees a figure standing, waving to them. It's his late mother. She is young, beautiful and smiling as she waves. Jack runs down the gangplank, a massive smile beaming from his face. David tells him, "You don't have long, though. An hour, no more." Jack, calls back, "Oh Davey! Thank you, man! Thank you!" As Jack nears our POV, we see tears streaming from his eyes, while his mouth grins from ear to ear. David replies, "Any time, bro. Any Time." The last shot is of David, in his Starman uniform, smiling at the happiness he has brought his brother, cape flapping in the wind, looking all of the hero. In that moment, he is a true hero.

This was only the second Talking with David and they were my favorite chapters, from the start. They act as an epilogue to previous adventures and allow Jack to find closure with the ghost of his brother and he also, in future, gets a chance to meet other heroes. However, this was the shining moment. It's an act of pure love and kindness and it gets me EVERY time I read the story, even as I glanced at it to confirm the issue number, just now. James Robinson is an unparalleled writer in that moment and Tony Harris captures the emotion of the scene like no other. It is a perfect synthesis and probably my favorite couple of pages in any comic ever created.

Would Maus count? If so, then yes.

GOD, YES!
Gert's death in Runaways
The funeral in New X-men read by Kitty "We remember.."
Julian begging Emma Frost to help him save Laura (yeah, New X-men had a lot of tear-jerking moments, god I loved it so).
The end of Loki's Journey into Mystery
Emma reaching out to comfort Kitty as she saves the world in Astonishing X-men
Tears of joy when Billy/Teddy's kiss saved the multi-verse in Gillen's incredible Young Avengers
(to name just a few)

-- Death of Supergirl (Crisis)
-- "Zot!" - Death of xxxx (I don't want to spoil it even now because the surprise was part of it)
-- "Zot!" again during the issue where one of the supporting characters comes out of the closet.
-- I started crying reading some comic book about 9/11, but it wasn't so much the comic as it was about 9/11

I know there have been others, but I can't think of them at the moment...

Hell no. Not even close.

I've lived real shit.

Astro City 1/2 "The Nearness of You"



Marvels #4 "The Day She Died"

[Shawn Hopkins]

Yeah. We3 for sure. I'm sucker for a shaggy dog (and cat and rabbit) story. Probably others as well. I don't cry at the drop of a hat, but some things get me.

[GOLGO 13]

End of HITMAN moved me

[Iron Maiden]

It wasn't "get out the box of Kleenex" kind of emotion but Electra's and Jean Grey's deaths I found tragic and shocking....the first time.
To a lesser degree, the GN Doctor Strange/Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment. At least no one has really made any attempts to revisit that.

New attempt:

Oh, that's different.

So what comic books made you cry?

Well, I'm not exactly a traditional kind of guy.
