“You presume I have no creed? My creed is Luthor.” Hmmm… Lexy ,Doom called he sues you for copyright
For wonder woman you forgot messner-loebs & phil jimenez ,he was far better than rucka (not bad until countdown to inf)
F”"”" comics kitty pryde ,the evolution one was better,and Jubilee is a far better character
for the joker just look at the right direction my friend like
Detective Comics #726 (October 1998): “Fool’s Errand”
Detective Comics #826 “Slayride” Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #65 – #68 (1994): “Going Sane” Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #142 – #145 (2001): “The Demon Laughs” Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #162 – #163 ( 2003): “Auteurism” Robin II #1 – #4 (1991): “The Joker’s Wild”Impulse #50 (July 1999): “First Fool’s”
Batman: It’s Joker Time! #1 – #3 (2000) (how could people miss this one is beyond me)
Joker: Devil’s Advocate (1997) and yes no disrespect to lexy (srsly i love supes & his rogues gallery dont get me wrong) but when well written …Mr JAY ALL THE WAY,BAYBAY!!
and Last time wolvie was interesting was when written by Rucka (srsly check out the entire run it’s how logan should act and Rucka’s Sabretooth is the definitive take on victor creed)
as for marv…yeah i like him but top 200?come on that’s pushing it!(hartigan was far more memorable
Magneto? dude his last good story as a villain was fatal attractions, Apocalypse, mr Sinister(srsly fuck Sublime,this is the real evil geneticist ,accepts no substitute bitch) are far more imaginative villains and whom simple philosophies can be interpretated in a thousand different ways
it’s just up to the imagination of the goddamn writers to make that work dammit.

Honestly, if Wizard made a list of the 100 greatest films of all time, it’d be topped by whatever the favorite fanboy movie of the past month is.

The thing about WOnder Woman is if she wasn’t the first superheroine then who would be?

Dude, there is so much good here. A lot of characterization nails hit on the head which more than I can say about the books that actually have said characters….

Wait a minute. Wizard is still being published? Oh my God, something is seriously wrong with the world.

I thought Cobra Commander was a snake man from Cobra-La.

If you are expecting a “funny” Joker, then really YOU are missing the point of the character (as originally inteneded). Thats what ya call yer basic irony….

Not that I would expect it from Wizard, but Nexus (one of my all-time favorite series) gets no love at all – I’d put Horatio, Sundra, Dave, Judah and Kreed all in my top 25 character list.

…Not to mention Luba! And I guess Finder is a bit obscure but I’d like to see Jaeger break the top 100. Also, no love for non-English comics? Asterix and Tintin trump Wolverine — not to mention shitty Image comics from the ’80s — any day.

But it sounds like a boring sort of list anyway, which is why most of the time I just forget that Wizard exists.

As much as I generally dislike Wizard, their lists ramp my anger up to 11. Have you ever seen their list of the 100 best graphic novels ever? It promises “you won’t believe what’s number one!” What follows is a list of 99 superhero comics, topped by… MAUS. It’s such a token inclusion that I was angrier to see it on the list then I would have were it not included. And this is also the magazine that declared Hayden “my skin is orange” Panette the hottest women to EVER appear on television.

Any top 50 that doesn’t include Maggie, Hopey, Cerebus, Nexus or Usagi is shit.

I guess all that critical acclaim and praise the book got was for it being a non superhero comic – nevermind that those have been coming out for years.

Does Hundred make this list? Because it’ll be criminal if he doesn’t.

There is no reason for any character from Y:The Dead Horse to be on that list. Just because they aren’t clad in spandex, doesn’t mean they’re not all one-trick ponies.

Even though I know in my heart Wizard sucks, their shitty list still ofends me.

I am okay with Conan being on the list because unlike Star Wars or Predator, the comics predate the movies. Howard wrote his stories, Camp rewrote them into a mess and then Roy Thomas adapted Conan into comic book success. The comic character of Conan is his own entity that people recognize even moved to another company. You could argue that the Dark Horse Conan series was less about adopting Howard’s version as much as it was merging Howard’s version with the comic version that’s been around for thirty years.

I think I have more of a problem seeing characters less then 15 years old in the top 50. I like Preacher and Y:The Last Man, but it is too early to say whether they have characters that can stand the test of time. On the other hand, Brainaic 5 has been around in one incarnation or another for what, 40 years?

“Dr. Octopus is the Spider-Man villain with resonance. ”

Elaborate, por favor. I’m interested.
