50 Greatest Comic Book Characters

Post by Stan Sakai »

I was with Mark, Sergio, and Tom last night when Mark received a text message. Empireonline, noted as a movie review site, had a list of the 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters. Groo did not make the list, but Usagi did at #31. Here is the link:

You can vote to make him higher or lower on the listing.

I'm not sure how any list of the 50 greatest comic book characters can leave off Groo (I think he would be at #3 or #4 on my list), but I'm glad to see that Usagi made the list.

The Saint of Killers from Preacher really deserves to be higher than #42 on the list.

No Ninja Turtles?

I don't know some of those, and I'm surprised at the addition of a few of them, but Yay for Usagi-- though I voted it should be higher.

I have a few complaints with that list. Usagi at 31(high)? And Hellboy at 35(high)? And Superman at 1(low)? Plus a few more chioices I would have gone another way with. But most of my favorite characters did make the list, so thats pretty cool.
