Is this new Devil Slayer the same as the old Devil Slayer? http://www.tfaw.com/Comics/Pre-Orders/Profile/Dead-Of-Night-Devil-Slayer-1-%28of-4%29___327040

Even though it's not a comic I was still hoping that the band Slayer would take the top spot on sheer metal-ness alone.

I didn't think I everI would see the phrase "most notably" used about Alistair Smythe!

Spencer Smythe's son, Alistair, also made some Spider-Slayers, most notably turning himself into one after he was crippled in a fight with Spider-Man.

I believe the only proper answer to "who is #1?!?" is, "You are Number Six."

Devil Slayer is back? Did they retcon the bit where he lost his cape in MCP? Or does he still have the goofy magic staff?

Good question.

I will look it up!

EDITED TO ADD: Never mind - too hard! Someone else should do it, please!

Harrumph. I'll buy that, but he was still introduced as a slayer. I wonder if that was the first use of the term "vampire slayer," actually.

I'm going with Blade as a Vampire HUNTER. He's never had a series titled Blade the Vampire Slayer, and the dude has had a LOT of series!!

Wow, I loved Skull the Slayer. Good call.

But how on earth can you have Buffy but not Blade the Vampire-Slayer?

He would be there if not for his recent New Exiles appearances.

I suppose Slaymaster doesn't count.

He'd be in there at #5.
