are you kidding me ive seen a better list of # on toilet paper

Er.. Never mind.. Anyway, I don't really agree with the list. Why would Hellboy rank number 8?

Silver Surfer is obviously better than all of them.

Ah, why isn't Earth Worm Jim on the list? *angry*

hellboy ranked higher from the silver surfer because he had more of an impact on the cmoic industry then the silver surfer did. earthworm jim is a video game character not a comic book character. any other questions?

Yeah, where are King Mob and/or Lord Fanny, two of the most awesome comic book characters ever created? And Phoenix, where's she?

Wow, wolverine number 1. I would have guessed Spiderman would have got that spot. Wolverine deserves it though.

I scanned over that list a few times and didn't see Jhonen Vasquez' mega creation "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac"! Surely he and Squee are worthy additions!

My all time favorite comic book villain:



Carnage...

What no Elektra!!





She is one of the best!!!

x

yeah silver surfer is probably the strongest as seen in the movie F4 even if its all about the board thing he #ed Galactus up so he's the strongest

why wolverine , wheres the question. like the rest....

This is obviously a popularity poll. if you go by most important to it's universe it would be hands down, Number 1 Captain America.

i think that it is a popularity contest which is why wolverine won but in all fairness wolverine is the greatest character in comics he has it all anger, memory loss has fought in every war since he had only bone claws and is still around to help save the day. and let me remind you he helped captain america during ww2

A friend told me of this list and some list.....no Ghost Rider or Gambit, but they mention Howard the Duck and The Watcher? WTF!

The Watcher is only a glorified intro to a "world threatening" plot hook....As for Howard the Duck.....

You folks need to experience R. Crumb. The greatest comic creative genius the world has ever known. Socially revelant and funny as hell.

the watcher is nothing more than a universal peeping tom.

What about He-Man doesn't anybody remember him or other justice league characters.
I cant understand why each and every list made is biased toward new or more recent entries, even when the list states "Best of all Times"

No "V" for Vendetta?


That was also a comic.
Some of the ones on that list i've never even herad of.

I have a Richie Rich Profits- Harvey Comics Oct. No 1 was 25 cents first issue collector's item will it ever be worth anything?

I also have a collector's edition A Horror Classic TERROR TALES April 1976 that was $1.25 had Beyond the Grave corpes return to murder.....the flesh eaters they craved human flesh ....A Tomb of Horror to open it was to die and Vampire'Plague Blood was there only cure.

Will these ever be worth anything

Lobo was 175?!!!!



Outrage...hoax...fixed.


Just saying.
