IGN followed up their top 25 DC heroes list with a top 25 DC villains one:

1) The Joker
2) Lex Luthor
3) Two-Face
4) Sinestro
5) Brainiac
6) The Penguin
7) Darkseid
8) Harley Quinn
9) Deathstroke
10) Black Adam
11) Reverse Flash
12) General Zod
13) The Riddler
14) Poison Ivy
15) The Flash Rogues
16) Ra's Al Ghul
17) Amanda Waller
18) Cheetah
19) Vandal Savage
20) Bane
21) Krona
22) Scarecrow
23) The Crime Syndicate
24) Mr Freeze
25) The Antimonitor


Not really liking this list. Grouping the Rogues together is a cop out. Especially when half the list is Batman villains.

The Rogues have always been grouped together. 'The Rogues' is a name that they themselves have given to their group and they always work together because individually they don't stand a chance against Flash.

He does this a lot on the CBR Spider-Man board. Occasionally Dan Slott drops by too.

Still going through the Fantastic Four omnibus by Lee/Kirby and all I want to do is talk about Fantastic Four. I'm blasted by greatness. I should do a blog post or something. Or I should just keep reading it.

It's crazy how much of the Marvel U was invented in that FF run.

I'm reading Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine and there's a panel where Wolvie unsheathes his claws. The SNIKT appears behind his left hand and the "I" is formed by the middle claw. I thought that was really cool. I've barely read any Wolverine comics so I don't know how common an occurrence that is, but I hadn't seen it before and I love when comics make interesting use of sound effects.

Also the double splash page just after, with Wolverine
standing on top of the Statue of Liberty's flame looking up at Planet Doom,
is absolutely gorgeous. The details in the distance but also the little birds in the foreground and the wisps of cloud. Such a great moment.

Wacker is hilarious because of how seriously he takes comments. He feels this need to discredit other people and constantly snark at them. He defended Dead Son Nova in a big thread and said that Rich Rider fans need to "move on".

I forgot who it was, but someone on the Spidey CBR boards called him out, saying something along the lines that he has a job that many people would kill for, in any other workplace you could be fired for insulting potential customers or being unprofessional online. How come at Marvel they're ok with employees acting like that?

I don't think you can really call Amanda Waller a "villain" though. She has been an antagonist from time to time but a villain in the same breath as Joker? C'mon son.
Click to expand...

There's a pretty broad spectrum of what constitutes "villain." Some are simply on the wrong side environmentally or politically, some don't do anything more than rob banks or steal jewels without any bodycount whatsoever, and some want to make a utopia- albeit under a highly restrictive dictatorship. "villain" doesn't necessarily mean mustache twirling homicidal maniac, and the best ones usually aren't.

Same. I had to go back to volume 1, and re read that part where
dream met nada again in hell
.

It's crazy how volume 1 and 2 just came together like that. Desire is a favorite of mine. What an interesting character.

It's gonna be a while before I get volume 3 and 4.

I'm not even a member there but sometimes I lurk around the Spider-Man board just to see Wacker being an asshole (most of time with reason though). Dan Slott tends to be more civil but he can also throw in some hilarious posts.

Oh right. Oh so did you mean that in the single issue it was spread across three pages, like a pull-out? Damn that must have been amazing. I did wonder why it had white bars at the top and bottom, kind of like widescreen. Makes sense now. Yeah that was a great splash, so beautiful.

Revival #2 was alright, Mind the Gap #5 was the first well-rounded issue.

I've lost interest in comics this month, too many videogames out and my ps4 fan mocks me with it's whirl whirl whirliness.

I mean, I actually understand it well enough. The gaps are easily filled.

I just disliked a lot of its execution.

Then again, I did not set out to actually read the whole thing, I just wanted more background before I jumped deeper into Morrison's Batman run (not impressed thus far).

I was wondering why that preview wasn't getting any attention. Lots of funky timeline stuff about to happen and Remender's digging deep into Marvel's back catalog for it.

Ugh, I have to pick up UA again? I stopped reading it a few issues ago because the whole thing felt like a sidestory to everything else in the Marvel Universe.

Batman and Robin

Pretty good; I just hate all the Red Hood stuff.

Jason has been sorely misused and abused.

For all the ill it did, the nu52 at least gave his character a fighting chance.
