In the tradition of the bad ass thread, post the most emotional moments or biggest tearjerker moments in the X-books. Pics would be nice, AU like AoA is weclome as well.

The death of Mariko Yashida

worstblogever · 01-15-2008, 06:57 AM

The death of ROMA!

She was the biggest tearjerker ever.

When I was a kid, Colossus's death was a really sad moment for me. Then I came here and realized some of the resentment toward the story.

Now it doesn't seem as sad. That's the real tear-jerker.:(

I wondered how long it was gonna take.

Most of Magneto's biggest tearjerker moments come AU.

Like the death of Wanda

jmc247 · 01-15-2008, 07:28 AM

and the death of Lorna

I'd have to say Illyana's death was sad :(

Flâneur · 01-15-2008, 07:47 AM

Jean's original death, huge moment. Illyana's as well.

Some other notables were in the Exiles by Winnick - Nocturne reflecting on her aborted baby, Mariko falling for and then losing Mary Jane and Heather contemplating how she murdered Wolverine, her first husband.

I agree I was so sad after reading that comic and it really gave jubilee, kitty, jean, and xavier so really humanizing moments.

Brian M. · 01-15-2008, 08:06 AM

When Delphi was describing how Qwerty lived and then died...that was really tearful. So much potential...

soulkiller · 01-15-2008, 08:10 AM

When Rogue died in X-Men: The End. She had wee children! Poor kids.

Don't have a scan of it though...

I am sorry but Illyana,Colossus,Psylocke,Jean Grey deaths lose their effectiveness because the dumb writers decide to bring them back.All most can't read comic anymore because their no sense of danger.The best example i can give Wolverine ,you know he isn't going die because marvel won't give up their cash cow.Please leave dead character dead writers unless it really helps the story.

Psylocke dying was sad moment for me,when zip up the body bag it almost seem real to me.

The scene where X-23 is send to assassinate Zander and his family.
The tear inducing element is knowing what she's been through while she performs this task, and climaxing when she finally gets to Zander's son.
I was chanting "please don't kill him..." with tears.

(Afterwards I had some craving for beer and sports...)

I've never cried after reading an X-men comic.....sorry.
