Moment in a comic that disturbed/upset you the most?
Until I just finished Age of Apocalypse, I would've said Vargas killing Psylocke was the scene that upset me the most in a comic.
However seeing Colossus uncaringly mow down Shadowcat in AoA I think just tops it. Poor Kitty! Thoughts? |

For me, the two major incidents were;
Ralph Dibny (The Elongated Man) crying (and losing control of his body) at his wife's funeral, in the fantastic "Identity Crisis" in DC comics. It might seem trite now, but Ralph was a much loved character and the events had real impact on the DC universe as a whole. (BTW DC, please bring Ralph back in the current "52" universe!) Batman finding Jason Todd's/Robin's body in burning wreckage and the final splash-page of him carrying the corpse. All comic readers had been moaning about Jason, but this brought home the loss of the character and the affect on Bruce. You have to remember here that these were different times. Most comic characters stayed dead when they died (Barry Allen and Ted Kord most readily come to mind). Unfortunately most "deaths" these days in comics are seen as cynical exercises in publicity. I remember rolling my eyes at Cap America's "death" and Thor's most recent demise ... The one recent exception is the death of Peter Parker in the Ulimate Universe. |

I can't remember the exact issue but there was a storyline in the Five Years Later incarnation of The Legion where the earth blew up that was very poiniant.

Gwen Stacy's death in Spider-man was a bit of a shock but, because they were characters I'd grown up with:
The death of Marvel Girl in X-Men and the the death of Supergirl in Crisis. Both were very poignant. |

Doomlord used to upset me when he turned into Earth's protector against the forces of Nox, but would still occasionally absorb human personalities to protect his mission.
There was one amazing storyline when the Deathlords of Nox set up the death shield around London and forced people to walk into it through mind control in order to flush out Doomlord, but he didn't give himself up. He's then quoted as saying "the death of many outweighs the death of a few" and then you knew, although he was Earth's saviour, he was quite willing to see lots of people die in order to protect it. |

I remember one of his stories featured some bloke who got caught out in some big league wrongdoing, on a chat show, and poisoned himself live on air, which was quite shocking. Also, the way people's eyes went blank and white, when Doomlord clasped their heads, to absorb their personalities, was quite grotesque. Do you remember the Collector stories, in the Eagle? They were a different story each week, with the Collector as link man. They usually had an unexpected or macabre twist-and a lot of them ended very creepily. The fact that the comic then was a photo-strip comic, with stories posed by models, made the stories more involving and affecting. |

The Walking Dead. Michonne's revenge in #33. That was some seriously messed up sh*t. Great issue altogether!

The whole of Marvel's "Ruins". What on Earth possessed them to publish such a miserable book?
Also "Batman: Holy Terror" when the Flash died. |

1. Gwen Stacy getting killed by Green Goblin
2. Jason Todd getting killed by The Joker. My favourite Robin. 3. Although it hasn't happened yet, The Joker's new look is creeping me out, going by the preview advert |

Fantastic Four 267. Sue Storm is pregnant with her second child but has problems due to radiation. Reed Richards desperately looks for help and realizes the foremost authority on radiation is criminally insane Otto Octavius, AKA Dr Octopus, who is in custody, with his deadly tentacles in secure storage.
After getting Ock (sans tentacles) to agree to help, he takes him to the hospital in the Fantasticar. Ock sees a Daily Bugle billboard with Spider-Man on and loses it big time. He mentally summons his tentacles and fights Reed. Reed finally calms him down, and they arrive at the hospital only to discover they are too late and the baby is stillborn. |

Doomlord, from 80s Eagle. I remember that. He started as some sort of spearhead for a proposed invasion, but then became some sort of environmentalist after getting stuck on earth, didn't he?

I remember Doomlord ( scared me as I was 7 ) and The Collector...The later being quite macbre and twisted for a kids comic |

I've got Eagle from issues 1 to around 150, and I'm contemplating scanning them in for general delectation - the old photo stories are the best ones for me. Even the likes of Sgt Streetwise always had that more 'affecting edge' because of how they were made. |

I was in WH Smith today and saw a Marvel's Hulk comic. I thought "I wondered how the green dude is doing nowadays", only to find a VERY graphic scene where's he shackled down and being eaten alive by some huge, meat eaten birds! His stomach was being torn out, his eye's being gouged
![]() I don't normally get grossed out by this stuff, but this shocked me as it was a world away from the comics I read when I was a kid. |
