Or moments in comic books that brought a tear to your eyes. For me it was Krypto's grief at Conner's death. Superman #712.

Marvels #4, The Day She Died Undoubtedly--and the brilliant, original issues that inspired it.
I would add Tales of the Teen Titans Annual #3 and The Avengers #56 to this list.

Can't remember if my eyes moistened in sadness or because I felt uplifted, but the end of Doom Patrol 121 definitely got to me.   And I defy anyone with a heart of getting through Laika without losing it.  |

Oh, thanks for jogging my memory, @bert.
The end of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Sandman 19.
True pathos.

Usagi's 'A Promise in the snow' for sure. I'm not sure what issue it was but there were a couple different parts of 'Cubs in Toyland' (The Fables arc towards the end of the series that focus on the Wolf children)... I won't post what since they're spoilers  |

We had a thread called 'Comics that make you cry' a few years back, and I cited Great Lakes Avengers #4, with Squirrel Girl trying to come to grips with the death of her friend Monkey Joe. It worked in the story, and also worked as a reflection on the mindset that gave us Identity Crisis. Since then, I've read Stargazing Dog, and holy crap. The room got real dusty a few times as I read that. And I'm not even a dog lover.  |

Strangely enough I have never teared up while reading a comic book. That I know of or can remember. Anymore it is movies and television shows leaving me in tears.

None. Nor books. Nor TV shows. And only one movie. That was Frequency. It came out shortly after my Dad died suddenly so it was a combination of timing and subject matter.
I’m not a crier.

Music makes me cry. Not loved ones dying, not terrible things happening in the real world... but I'm unable to sing Jacques Brel's Amsterdam all the way through without choking up.
I think it has to do with where we put dams around our emotions.
Comics? Welllll... I got emotional reading The Summit of the Gods. However, it didn't come with a soundtrack!

  This book right here. The Cindy character was so tragic; she made me so uncomfortable, yet I still couldn't help but empathize with her. |
