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 :)
@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?

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.
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 would love to read a Hope, Cable and Deadpool team-up... I have this picture in HD (1778x1800) if you want to download it... @Blood_guts said:
oh sh#t that IS sad :( his own power killed someone rather than save them or even fail to save them
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...

It's really only good if you read the entire Cable run, which is all about Cable raising Hope from birth to adulthood.

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.

Predictable, yes, but at least they are good at it...

That is lovely... Note: I have a lot of Cable and Hope pics, I already knew a couple of things about their story, but now I know more... just saying
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)
@JediXMan: I didn`t liked 52 that much (A LOT OF DEATHS), But I really loved Vic and Renee scenes, also Black Adams' scenes... @Dracade102: Hollis Manson's dead was unnecessary, sad as F@(&... @Gambit1024: OH $#/T! I forgot about that scene (Spider-man saved me ;_;)...
