Thanks to Speed Force's Twitter feed once again for providing this link to Comic Book Resources' list of the Top 100 Comic Book Runs, with Mark Waid's "run" (no pun intended) on The Flash coming in at #37, just above Stan Lee and John Romita's run with Spidey. The article notes that this run developed the Speed Force and introduced us to Bart Allen as Impulse - and it has a lot of great stories that any Wally fan will long remember. Here's the link: goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/10/20/2012-top-100-comic-book-runs-40-36/ |

I was going to tell you about this, I was waiting until the Top 100 was finished. I am curious to see where Morrison's & Johns run show up (if at all)...I voted on this, I can't imagine how much work it was for Mr. Cronin to put this list together.
Some of the others were interesting.....I thought Kirkman's run would be higher, Stan Lee's Spiderman run as well.....wondering about the outside possibility that Manapul & Booch might be in the Top 35? Very, very, very outside possibility.

I liked the list, didn't really have any problems with the selections. It's good to see snippets and info on different titles that may pique my interest. Always heard good things about Nextwave and really must, must check out Gotham Central.
But reading over the comments for #1 just irritates me. Judging by some, the only way one should like or read Sandman is by being either 'goth', 'emo' or 'female'.
(Actually, I have heard that Sandman was successful in drawing in more female readers, which is a good thing regardless of gender, right???)
That the intensity of this 'cult following' versus the actual size of the fan base is what garnered the #1 slot for the title.
What rubbish. It's just a fine comic series that expands the genre through the talent and dedication of the creative team(s) involved.
I've yet to read the entire run, but the trades I have read have been smart, thoughtful, disturbing, and entertaining, all at once. Love Neil Gaiman.
Ok, mini-rant over. Sorry.
