Ummm, i don't think a comic book has ever really "moved me". At least not in the sense that i believe you mean. Although, I know that Superman Comics focus on the love aspect very often and many times it's actually handled quite well. I forget the exact issue but the series isn't to old. It was the Superman series where superman was being told of his coming future. I believe it was Zod who had taken over the world. Superman was dead and Lex Luthor was leading the human resistance. Lois Lane was telling the story as though she was recording the last days of humanity. Superman came back somehow but it wasn't entirely Superman. The moment Lois and he shared when he returned was a neat and almost moving scene, one that did more than the death of superman did (what a failure that was lol). Anyway, Superman eventually ended up dead once again and Zod reigned supreme. I'm still not sure who it was that was telling Superman about this coming future. I believe the issue was called, "children of tomorrow" or "tomorrow people".
Not much ever really happens in comics that warrant extreme emotion for me though. The more mainstream comics never trully change their formula, so key characters never change and never die. The only characters that change on a large scale are the more obscure one's. When the characters from mainstream or established comics do change it is usually a revamp that changes the formula we are used to entirely.
Indie comics or graphic novels always take chances and focus more on emotion and character development than story-line but considering the stories in indie or graphic novels never last to long we never get to become attached.
Normally I'd agree with ragesRemorse but I recently re-read Identity Crisis. The scene I'm talking about is quite a ways into the story, Dibney is already dead, people know Dr Light had raped her, lotsa stuff had happened, the Batman & Robin are out in the car and they get a call that Tim's dad is in trouble:
It's the third scan in particular that I'm talking bout here ... when Tim pleads for Bruce to save his dad and Bruce just looks so shocked and powerless.
Of course, it ends up with Captain Boomerang killing Tim's dad (and being killed by him in return)
I guess it loses something out of context like this.
😬
I just think of the final pages of Kingdom Come. After several issues of near-Armageddon that would put Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman on different warring sides, they sit down to an ordinary lunch in public to heal the rift between them all. Diana is pregnant by Clark, and she asks Bruce to be the Godfather, which astounds him. Then they all get up from the table when lunch is over, and the two now-older men( in Bruce's case, crippled) shock me by having a warm, friendly hug. A display of deep friendship I'd never thought I'd see. 👆
When everyone thought Prime was dead was the most moving scene I've seen in a comic.

This one is a close second. You could actually feel Prime's anguish flowing through the page:
