A piece of art making you feel something even sadness isn't necessarily a bad thing. it makes you care about the comic and it reminds us why we like heroes. post any sad parts of comics you find that made you feel something, whether they are published by a big company or not, and feel free to discuss the application of sad things in comics. Keep it appropriate :)
I'll start us off

Dex-starr his story is pure sadness
@higher_evolutionary: Sure thing! It's from the story arc Second Coming of the X-Men. The two characters are Hope Summers and Cable, and it's Cable's death. In my opinion, it's one of the best deaths Marvel has done.Really? I haven't read the storyline, but I would love to know why?
@RainEffect said:I am personally only just getting into the whole Cable and Hope storyline, but Cable raised Hope since she was a baby. Constantly being hunted, Cable did everything in his power to protect her. In Homecoming, Bishop is relentlessly hunting them, and Cable literally takes bullets for her. So, naturally, they really bond and she calls him her father. The death itself is really moving as Cable is the only person Hope knows, and he does what he has done from the very start; he gives his life to protect her. He uses his telekinesis to open up an escape route for Hope and the X-Men from Bastion, but doing so meant he diverted all of his telekinetic energy; meaning the techno virus he'd been holding back all his life overcame him.@higher_evolutionary: Sure thing!

So essentially, Hope watches as the man who has cared and protected for her their entire life, is slowly overcome by a metallic virus ... and he does so smiling warmly to her. It's a brilliantly thought out scene. He died like a hero and it wasn't a joke in any way. Hope lost it afterwards and absolutely murdered Bastion.
if you want to read a truely moveing story read the Death of Captain Marval (jim Starlin) awsome on soo many levels 1. first time a comic book hero dies from iullness not in combat. 2. the reactions of all involved throught out the comic from the heros and even villians and finally the way Marval meets his death moveing from first to last page. IMO one of the best written comics ever.
Ok that is sad (;_;), I have to say that is not the first time that Marvel does a heroic death, but is indeed REALLY sad from Hope's perpective (MY DAD IS DEATH!!!) damn, I have read some Cable & Deadpool issues, and I like Cable (I love to use him in Marvel vs Capcom 2, lol) is not the first time that he has died but this one seems to be really sad...I am personally only just getting into the whole Cable and Hope storyline, but Cable raised Hope since she was a baby.

I would love to read a Hope, Cable and Deadpool team-up...

Her name was Gwen Stacy, for some, Spidey's true love, sadly that was not the first time that Peter has killed someone by accident, there are a LOT of people that he has killed in similar ways (the Uncle Ben, Bennet Brant, Gwen Stacy, Captain George Stacy, Harry Osborn, Charlemagne, etc) and for that reason he is so delicate with "deaths" and when someone else kill someone he becomes all-grimdark and tries to break every bone in his opponent's body without killing him, also if he fails trying to save someone else he feels responsible for those deaths, and that is sad...oh sh#t that IS sad :( his own power killed someone rather than save them or even fail to save them

Rather poetic.

That's an awesome image. But, nevertheless, it is one of the saddest moments I know of, especially in the X-Men universe, as deaths are a bit of a ... well ... predictable at times.

I don't know why, but I find the Question story pretty sad...Agreed. Though I'm trying to find scans from 52. I loved the whole scene; the tracks left by the sled in the shape of a question mark, the comment with the butterfly, Nanda Parbat in the background... great scene, and one of the reasons 52 is my second favorite comic (Sandman made it to the #1 spot)
@Deadcool said:is that where it ends or does she continue in some manner?@The_Warlord said:LeahThe Spider-Man/paper girl one got to mePaper Girl?
Peter's speech to Aunt May in Clone Saga as she was on her death bed... The only comic to literally almost bring me to tears.
@Deadcool: where is the spider sotory with him dying with gwen on top from?What if? Spider-man House of M
