50 Greatest Comic Book Characters
Empire has a good, if hard to navigate, list of the 50 greatest comic book characters. Now, lists are inherently flawed and best as discussion starters. Nonetheless, there are a lot of great characters on here from my favorite comics. (Link from Bookslut)
I’m kinda bummed Nexus and Zot didn’t make the cut. Oh, and Carrie Stetko (coming soon to the movies) and Tara Chace, too. And Batgirl and Supergirl. Perhaps I should stop thinking on this.
Others?

I don’t have time to click through to each one, but I will just assume that neither Too Much Coffee Man nor Reid Fleming are in the list.

Caution, WL. This summer aside, most comic book movies suck. I’ll wait to see the reviews. We may have had our comic geek moment this summer with Dark Knight, Iron Man and Hellboy II.
And J, of course not, though I suspect if the list had been done ten years ago, they would’ve made it. Lists, as always, seem to favor newbies, like Scott and Deena Pilgrim (no relation to each other.)
