Devastating Deadpool
This #ComicThatMadeMeCry destroyed me. Deadpool has just been kicked off the Avengers and Deadpool instead of wallowing in despair spends an entire day with this suicidal girl taking her on missions and even to Hamilton. He ends it by taking her to the hospital pic.twitter.com/fq7KeDYTfv

Dog Demise
I have teared up at several of the superhero books already mentioned but my choice is “For Better Or For Worse: Starting From Scratch.” If the death of Farley doesn’t make you well up you have no soul. #ComicThatMadeMeCry pic.twitter.com/Tflw70AHKj

Doctor Strange Really Got Me
Doctor Strange #383 by @Doncates. I was crying again just looking it up. The events leading up to this were very sad, but this act (and the response to it) really got me. #ComicThatMadeMeCry pic.twitter.com/1wdWLp0rLA
