I can get emotional, no doubt, but for whatever reason no comic has ever done that to me. The closest I got was when I read Blankets in one sitting in a hotel room in London... even then, I mostly just wanted a hug. Awwwwwwww (laaassstt night I dreamt, that saAHHHMMBAAHHDDYyy loved meeee)

New Mutants #45: The team is out making friends and meets a teenage boy who offends them by making anti-mutant jokes. Turns out it was a front and he was just trying to appear cool or deflect attention, for he himself is a mutant. Someone keeps sending him threatening X-Factor materials, and he becomes so afraid of them he hangs himself. There is a scene with his bereaved parents. Rahne hears about his suicide and howls for him. Kitty accidentally destroys the one thing he left behind, a light sculpture he made with his powers.
It was the only issue I read that actually confronted the realistic problem of X-Factor, and I like to think Chris Claremont had put his own personal criticism into the story.
Also, that scene in All-Star Superman where a teenage girl is about to take a dive because she thinks her therapist brushed her off. Superman appears behind her, puts his hands on her shoulders and tells her that her doctor really did get held up, and "It's never as bad as it seems" and "You're much stronger than you think" as she turns and hugs him. A defining moment for Superman that I can't even write about without getting choked up.

I've teared up a couple of times while reading comics (I'm a big softy), but the one that does it consistently is Tomb of Dracula #33. After having gotten the upper hand on Dracula, Quincy Harker is forced to spare him in order to save Rachel Van Helsing, after which Dracula shatters the urn containing the ashes of Quincy's daughter, who was killed after Dracula turned her into a vampire. There's more to it than that, but that's the basic jist of it. The scene is essentially the result of a lot of build up throughout the series, and it also elicits an emotional response from me.

I don’t know the exact issue, but I seem to recall a Rampaging Hulk issue where the Hulk, sitting alone in a field, says something like, “Hulk knows he is a freak, knows he is not beauty.” I can’t recall the context exactly.
