- Oh hey there it's your old pal Sam here
with two of my favorite things, comics and crying.
So here's my top 10 favorite moments
in comic book history that make me cry.
Here's your spoiler warning for said comics
and any film or TV adaptation of them.
Also an FYI I'm picking moments from more
recent comics and they're my personal favorites.
But let me know yours in the comments down below.
Let's kick it off with number 10,
an absolute killer finale to Ryan Michael Bendis'
epic Ultimate Spider-Man run.
After being fatally wounded by The Punisher,
Peter Parker faces off against all of his greatest foes,
besting them all.
Finally going up against Norman Osborne
The Green Goblin in one final fight
to protect Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane,
Peter collapses in victory.
As he lays there dying, he's greeted
in a white abyss by none other
than Uncle Ben and they walk off together.
What an awesomely epic ending that Marvel took back
a few years later.
They said, uh-uh that didn't happen.
That was a bummer.
Number nine, the death of Vin Vision.
During Tom King's Vision series
we're introduced to Vision's children
Viv and Vin Vision.
During this time, Vision is under investigation
from the Avengers and they send
Vision's half-brother Victor Mancha.
While spying on the Visions,
Victor Mancha is discovered by Vin Vision
and when Victor tried to subdue him,
Victor accidentally kills Vin.
It's a tough one to read, I'll be honest.
Even tougher reading a follow up issue,
we see the scene where Vision is playing
a recording of his son reciting Shakespeare,
and then when he's done he's left in this dark silence.
It kind of makes your heart feel empty.
Number eight, the second death of Izabel.
For many fans of Saga out there
Izabel is one of your favorite characters of all time.
The spectral teenager is one of the best nannies
out there and when spying on a possible threat,
Izabel is wounded and then killed.
I didn't even know you could do that with ghosts.
As a cherry on top of that, since Hazel
and Izabel have been bonded since birth,
Hazel can feel Izabel dying.
Number seven, Wally West returning to DC Comics.
Now during DC's Rebirth kick off comic
we find out the classic Wally West has been
falling endlessly through the Speed Force
blah blah blah sci-fi stuff, sci-fi stuff.
He's been gone from reality and he's trying to communicate
with his loved ones but he can't.
During this event we see Wally
reaching out to his friends, his family,
even his wife, but no one remembers him.
Finally, Wally finds Barry Allen, his mentor,
and he doesn't ask for help.
He only stops to thank Barry for teaching him
to appreciate every second of his life.
He doesn't fight the inevitable
and accepts his death, but at the last second,
Barry remembers his best friend
and pulls him back into reality.
Oh boy!
Sam was up late crying into this comic for a good while.

Number six, Ralph Dibny in 52.
Now during DC's massive 52 event,
we follow Ralph Dibny, AKA The Elongated Man,
as he grieves for the loss of his wife Sue Dibny.
I didn't want to include identity crisis
on this list cause that makes me angry cry
so here's a somewhat happy cry.
During the era that is 52, we see Ralph
being manipulated by many different forces
but finally Ralph is able to come out on top
and stop a literal devil from escaping onto Earth.
As Ralph sacrifices himself, we see him reunite
with Sue in the afterlife.
Happy Cry.
Happy Cry.
Number five: Glenn's death.
The issue that people have been gearing up for for years.
We see the brutal murder of fan favorite Glenn Rhee.
Whether it was on the show or in the comic,
this one hits close to home.
Negan is an absolute monster and this still leaves me upset.
I'll be honest.
Number four, Spider-Man Blue.
Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale joined forces to create
a number of limited series all based on colors.
He had Captain America White, Hulk Gray,
Daredevil Yellow, and Spider-Man Blue.
Blue follows the distraught Peter Parker
recalling his time with Gwen Stacy when he was younger.
Blue is a beautiful look into how he got to know his friends
and what each of them means to him.
You know I'm getting a weird feeling in my throat
right now thinking about it so,
I don't want to cry on camera, moving on.
Number Three, Y: The Last Man.
Super spoiler warning: the death of 355.
Also the whole series but let's focus on the death of 355.
This death came outta nowhere and I just realized
somebody on set hasn't read it yet.
- [Man] Not me!
- For some fans this is a love it or hate it moment
in the book which I can understand but for what writer
Brian K. Vaughan was going for, I get it.
We see Yorick's true growth as a character
and we're it left with a hole in our hearts
from the loss of a truly beautiful relationship
that could have been.
Number two, All-Star Superman.
All of it.
Superman has been dosed with so much
solar radiation that he is now dying.
All-Star Superman follows Superman as he's basically
checking off things from his bucket list.
He tells Lois that he's Superman
yada-yada-yada.
The two moments, though, in this book
that will always get me is the flash back
to Superman losing his father,
and Lex Luther finally understanding
why Superman does what he does.
Why he chooses to help people.
Because we're all we've got and I'm getting choked up.
Let's get to number one 'cause we're almost done.
The moment that never fails to get me whenever I read it.
It's in JLA number 102.
We see Wally West having to deal with the age old lesson
each superhero has to come to terms with:
you can't save everyone.
However, Wally's lesson is a little more brutal than others,
I'll be honest.
He finds two children who died
from carbon monoxide poisoning and this is the first time
he's really encountered dead bodies,
and to add insult to injury, they're dead children.
So how does Wally deal with this?
He buys up every smoke detector in town
and starts breaking into people's homes to install them all.
Even if they have them installed,
he adds more of them and you even see him
have a confrontation with a father
because he still hasn't replaced the batteries
and it's something so simple
that could save his family's life,
but when he's confronted by the Justice League,
since, you know, you can't just go breaking
into people's homes, it's a tough scene.
But we're left a somewhat sad note that no matter what,
each of these characters has to deal with the fact
that they can never truly save everyone.
People have to make their own mistakes
and when they need help, our heroes will be there for them.
Now there are plenty of other heartfelt moments in comics
from all publishers, but these are the moments
that make my eyes start sweatin'.
