Final Crisis being ahead of Dark X-Men makes me sad. The only way this can be made up to me is if The Unwritten, Doktor Sleepless and RASL make the top ten and if Invincible Iron Man is left off.

“Captain America” and “Hercules” should both be in the top twenty. If “Hercules” is CBR’s idea of the best superhero comic currently being published (and I agree) then I have to assume that the rest of your list is going to consist of some very obscure non-superhero material. If that is the case, I suspect CBR’s list is not going to be terribly relevant to anyone.

I agree. I liked Herc and some others mention in 100-76 but Cap's been a lot better then CBR has it ranked. Then again I don't often find most of CBR staff in agreement with my tastes and impressions on their reviews in particular. My suspicions are raised on why CBR rate some of what they have so highly over the year but...I shall not say more.

Sorry but Doktor Sleepless doesn't get to be anywhere on this list.

Horrible book.

Such a great critique. You should be the next host of At the Movies.

And and after reading that dry forking comment, I expect you'll want to be my co-host? You can talk all about comics on the show, while I talk about movies.

Yeah, Herc is a top 20 book IMO. I would have bought Agents of Atlas but nowadays the books are too expensive for me to spend on books to try out. Kind of sad, I know.

Can't believe Final Crisis made it so high. I've read it and reread it. I've gone on these sites that break down the story panel by panel and put them in the chronological order. I've read the tie-ins that supposedly matter. I understand it a little better but I don't think it's really that great of a story. But that's just my opinion.
