I won't spoil it but seriously....#3 is ?????

 

That's hilarious. lol

 

The writer is obviously a Brit who's enamored of the entire Vertigo line, with special emphasis on UK writers. Not to mention a comic history lifespan that dates back to 1991.

Never thought I'd see JC voted 'greater' than Spiderman!

 

 

It's got to be an editorial mistake.

One great pick is Rorschach at 16, which 75% of voters think should be higher.

 

That's one thing that worries me about the Watchmen movie - the writers didn't seem to grasp the character's importance to the story and have written him totally different.

This is extremely distressing news...

Halo Jones at 18, several places ahead of Wonder Woman. lol

 

And Spider Jerusalem at 12, ahead of 99% of the DC and Marvel heavy-hitters. This is like comedy at its worst.

 

After #5 I didn't look at the rest of the lit.

 

:roflmao:

 

Boy that is one credible mag.

The choice of Halo Jones anywhere in the top 50 is beyond lazy journalism and Britcentricity - the character may have been an atypical female creation, but that's about it.

 

But then never expect much from film mags when it comes to judging comic characters.

Halo Jones! Now there's a great blast from the past. I think this is a superior list (thumbs u

 

 

Seriously, in terms of the British market, who cares about Wonder Woman? Apart from a vague memory of the TV show, she might as well not exist. Something most Americans may not realise is that outside of comic collecting circles, the average Brit knows of Superman, Batman and Spiderman and that's IT. Old TV shows (WW, Hulk) and recent movies (X-Men, FF) increased awareness of some more US comic characters, but not to actually read.

 

When I was a teen, I was the only kid I knew who'd even heard of the X-Men. Judge Dredd on the other hand was an icon to all.
