Re: Top 10 favorite comics currently
Wow....so my last list was strictly Marvel. Since then I've decided to pick up some DC stuff.
So here's my new listing along with why. Here we go...
Old Standings
10 - Samurai Executioner
9 - New Avengers
8 - Runaways
7 - Daredevil
6 - Capt America
5 - Books of Doom
4 - Punisher MAX
3 - Ultimates
2 - Daughters of the Dragon
1 - Ares
New Standings
10 - Supergirl - When you read this along with watching the JLU cartoon...you just feel there's this underlying fact that one day she could be greater than her famous cousin. So it's fun watching the journey to greatness
9 - Superman/Batman - I love the 2-sided thought boxes. Both are either thinking the same thing or the exact opposite and either way...they work together in sync. It also gives you insight to the characters. Batman regards Superman as the greatest hero of all. Even though he's an alien...he's more human than anyone else. That thought is reiterated in the Supergirl arc where Kara says than he could better than any of them (humans). He replies back to her saying "There is no
them....just
us." That just drove it home for me....
8 - Punisher MAX - To me....probably the greatest version of Frank Castle. The stories are gritty yet over the top. It just goes to show what kinda one-man army Frank really is.
7 - Daredevil - Never read this title before Brubaker. But after several recommendations....I checked it out and I am now blown away at it. If you need proof on how awesome this comic is....go buy #84. Read the first 3 pages. Then stand there and tell me how this is not great. I can make you a promise more solid than the fact that Jack Bauer has bad days. That promise is that I'll punch you in the gut and call you a liar.
6 - Capt America - Every American's hero. He will never back down froma challenge. He might be able to fly or lift buildings. But if you've got a body...he's gonna pound it....and win.
5 - Ultimates - no explanation need.
4 - Infinite Crisis - Even if you get rid of all the tie-ins and special events and everything else....it's still a great story. The magnitutde of this event spreads thru all of the DC comics. Just one of the best.....
3 - All-Star Superman - O Sweet Big Baby Jesus!!! This is just a great story. It's Pre-Crisis Superman....without the continuity. It's Ultimate Superman.
2 - Daughters of the Dragon -
why make a statement when I've already made a thread...
1 - Ares -
