discuss.

if you wanna.

Number one appears to be based on chronology rather than mad skills.

some interesting choices - also worth looking at the voting buttons - lot of Deadpook fans out there...

Mmmm. Flicked through this earlier in the week. Was glad to see the likes of Sparks and Spider make it.

Disappointed to see no Yorick, but hardly surprised.

Scandalous absence of V, though. Unless I'm just blind or something.

Shout out for the Saint of Killers entry having the crappiest spoiler warning ever. Here's a spoiler warning, if haven't read preacher, or finished reading it, don't read the saint of killers entry.

If we're talking Preacher... gotta love Herr Starr.

Interesting that DC got the Top 3.

Will have a proper read of it later.

Lots of love to 2000AD in this one.

John Constantine? Above Spidey?

good to see Death high up the list, i always like sandman comics, and found her quite interesting.

Only one Watchmen character up there, kinda surprising.

Spawn shoulda been higher imo. At least above that aardvark with a sword, wtf was that?

And Rocket Raccoon.

I'd say Death's Head deserves to be in the Top 50, but I'm biased. Wouldn't be surprised if the freelance peacekeeping agent gets a film one day, yes?

No Death's head?

What's with the aardvark and Astro boy ?

Joss Whedon doing the Wonder-woman movie...

Eliza Dusku could own that role
