When Wolverine starts feeling bad for Deadpool, you know s**t's gotten real.

An easy well to tell how emotional a comic scene will be is generally to check the emotional reaction of the grizzled veteran of the group. In this case, it's Wolverine, and his genuine sympathy for Deadpool makes it clear that things are pretty dire.

This is exactly the case for a particularly sad moment at the close of Deadpool: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, wherein the ever-upbeat merc has a full-scale breakdown upon finding the corpse of the woman who had his child. The fact that he can't even find his daughter's body due to the sheer scale of corpses is chillingly brutal, and the sudden change from the comic's usual lighthearted tone makes it all the more poignant.

Watching Deadpool's hopes to have a family be ripped from him in the same place he was initially experimented on is a whole new world of sad, and to have this be the climax of a four issue build up makes it all the more heartwrenching.
