cool op

>>91471741

And then we all forget this comic ten years later.

>>91471946
I never forgot it. Top 10 is considered a great comic.

>>91471575

/co/ btfo

>>91471259
Did they have an explanation for why it's only Marvel and DC?

>>91472965
That's just the theme of the list.

If there was any particular reason(s) it was probably because indie shit would be ultra difficult to track down or because Marvel and DC might have just been bigger advertisers.

>>91472965
Are top 10 and Astro city big 2 properties?

>>91471946
>And then we all forget this comic ten years later.

Pizzolatto remembered to rip it off for the ending of true detective.

>>91473189
Yes. Astro City started at Image but it was at DC by the time that issue came out.
Also, on the subject of Astro City, that issue isn't even that good by Astro City standards but Wizard had to suck its dick on every list they made to give their 1/2 issue gimmick moneymaking scheme some legitimacy. I have some fond memories of Wizard but they really were complete bullshit.

>>91473336
90s Wizard was actually really awesome. As time went on they just got worse and worse.

>>91473189
I think Top 10 was published in an imprint of an imprint of DC comics

No Lucifer?

We should storytime as many of these issues as possible.

>>91474014
That story finished in the middle of 2006, and to be honest, most of the one-shot issues (except Nirvanna) were side stories with Gadium and Spheera

>>91475873
That's true, I forgot what year it ended actually.

>>91471946
This was storytimed a couple months ago

man. Warners should make a movie oug of that Books of Magic. A young boy with a magic mark has an owl reveal to him that he is a wizard? I smell franchise.

Is there a master torrent or download of all of these issues?

>>91471946
Speak for yourself. I have the entire run sitting on my shelf.

Not deserving of #1

>>91471707
If Killing Joke makes it then one shots were viable which means a ton of good stuff like Face got left off.

Also, there are a bunch of Swamp Thing one shots from Moore or The Beard Hunter from Doom Patrol that should've been on the list. Overall it's not bad though, a few too many unambitious cape shittery one shots but it's cool, some of the cape one and dones like Starman #11 are great.

Coyote Gospel not making the list is a true crime though

all that Bendis wank is gross

>>91471575
that's the worst issue of Tangled Web
this list is stupid

>>91479440
Those were different times. It was normal to claim Bendis is your favorite writer.

>>91472965
Moore's work would take up too many spots

>>91479657
Bendis was always shit. /co/ tricked me into reading Alias years back claiming it was good. Fuck you, /co/! I will never forgive you for that.

>>91471259

This list is arguably better, but it's also less interesting since they included all of Watchmen and like half of Walt Simonson's run on Thor. That's like 30 out of 100 just for 2 comics. Still pretty excellent taste though.

>>91479309
Face sucked.

That panel will truly live on forever.

>>91472965
Because by this point indy comics were no longer a profitable trend and Wizard were a bunch of starfuckers.

I know I'd be interested in some of the 80's GI Joe, Fantastic Four, and Avengers.
