50 Things I Love About Comics, because two people demanded it.
5 Creators That Don't Write Enough For Me To Continually Buy Their Amazing Comics
1. Grant Morrison
2. Fred Van Lente
3. Brian Lee O'Malley
4. Alison Bechdel
5. Warren Ellis (though he comes close)
5 Comic Books That Changed My Life--Seriously
1. Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol (I read this after getting burned out on Marvel, especially Age of Apocalypse, and like a fanboy phoenix from the ashes my love of comics burned anew)
2. The Uncanny X-Men #214 (The first comic I ever bought, wherein Longshot, Dazzler, Psylocke and Rogue take on the Juggernaut)
3. Dykes to Watch Out For (My only source of liberal media commentary in the suburbs of Detroit growing up. I would seek out the tiny local queer weekly just to get my hands on the newest strip.)
4. Sandman
5. The Invisibles (The spell worked, I am not the man I was before I read that book.)
5 Villains That Need Their Own Books (That I would be happy to write, seriously, call me)
1. The Hood (Which surprises me, but this is seriously the first name to pop into my head)
2. Maria Hill, Agent of SHIELD
3. Knives Chau
4. Luthor
5. Darkseid
5 Retcons I Wish Were Retconned
1. Maxwell Lord the superspy
2. X-23
3. The return of *yawn* Hal Jordan
4. The return of *yawn* Green Arrow
5. The return of *yawn* Jason Todd
