* The first opening sequence of ''[[Death Note]]'' features [[media:misora_pieta_plagiarism_7367misora pieta plagiarism 7367.jpg|Naomi Misora]] cradling (apparently {{spoiler|recently killed}}) fiancee Raye Penber about halfway through as just one of countless biblical references.
** Also, Light Yagami holds {{spoiler|L's dead body in this position, while grinning evilly after L [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dies in his arms.]] }}
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]] [[The Movie|Advent Children]]'' used this in promotional artworks, most notably for the front cover of the OST. It shows [http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000CBNIJW.01-A2ZG40UZTGC4WR._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Cloud and Kadaj].

*** ''[[Tom Strong]]'' #22.
*** A [http://machsabre.deviantart.com/art/Guardians-issue-51-colors-34543555 cover] done for a ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' storyline that [[What Could Have Been|never actually came to be]].
** The [[media:398px-X-Men_Vol_1_136Men Vol 1 136.jpg|cover]] of ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|Uncanny X-Men]]'' #136 (Cyclops holding Dark Phoenix) is equally well known; ironically, it wasn't until the ''next'' issue that Phoenix died.
*** This cover came about five years earlier than the Crisis cover mentioned above, so it's at least passably likely that the Crisis cover was an homage to THIS one.
*** Two more X-Men examples, both all-female: The cover of ''Uncanny X-Men'' #255 shows Mystique kneeling, holding the body of Destiny in a pietà pose, and that of ''X-Men Annual" #1 (2006) shows Mystique sitting on the ground holding her injured daughter Rogue.
