The lack of Green Arrow makes me sad, but having Jesse Custer, Dream, Dredd and Constantine so high makes me a happy bunny.

number 3 greater than 16, no way total fail

[Paul 584]

Depends on what you are looking for. Constantine is a far more filled out character, far more origional and has had a lor more depth of material to show him off.

[Guest Reno]

SCOTT PILGRIM~! I'm glad he made the list.

[The Icon 152]

Not shocked at number 1 and 2, a bit shocked at the order. Thought they would havs supes at 2 and batman 1.

[Maxximus 353]

That list is fail without Lobo. Maybe he's in the top 100. :lol

[DC 536]

Its probably been put here before,

It was... by you. :lol

[Guest Saz]

Ok Darky, it's the glue factory for you!

[Guest Phil]

Punisher at 19 makes me happy, but supes at 1? never got the hype of superman, he's basically the perfect specimen, what's fun about that!

F*ck. :lol

Before Smallville I used to think the same. but with Superman I think the reversal of roles is kinda fun. Normally its the more powerful bad guy being beaten by the smart good guy (or team of, it takes all the Fantastic Four to beat Dr Doom) so having a hero who is forced into the role of relying on brains when his strong point is brawn is cool. Also the way that Supes is often forced into moral choices is brilliant, 'you can save 1 of 3 people, which one'.

 

Ahem. Anyway...

[Guest Fellow]

Dream and Death being so high on the list makes my decision to order the first Absolute Sandman volume (having not read the main series before) seem like a good idea :)
