Top Five Female Superheroes Using Old Male Codenames
Okay, that is a terrible title, but I couldn’t think of a shorter way of saying what I’m trying to get across. Basically, a common thing is for new female superheroes to show up using the names of older male characters. Sort of how when Hank Pym stopped going by Yellowjacket, Rita DeMara started to use the name (although first as a villain). Here are the top five! Continue Reading »
Top Five Mike Zeck Captain America Covers
Besides G.I. Joe, the most famous cover work that Mike Zeck did was on Captain America at two different points. Once when he was the regular artist with J.M. DeMatteis, and later on in the 80s when he just did covers during Mark Gruenwald’s run.
Here are the top five covers from that time period! Continue Reading »

Top Five Marvel Comics Covers for November 2008
Okay, I’ll admit, I totally got the dates wrong on the solicitations. I thought I had one more week before Marvel and DC’s new solicitations were out. My bad! Oh well, I guess I might as well do the December ones now, instead.
But to keep as a fill-in, here are my picks for the November 2008 solicitations for Marvel Comics.

Top Five/Judging Books By Their Covers Catch-Up
As a sort of Top Five Month postscript, as well as catching up with the Judging Books By Their Covers, rather than do the four months worth of DC Comics as well as the two months worth of Marvel Comics, which would be tedious for me and I don’t think it would even be all that interesting for you folks to read four of these at once, I’m just going to post the Top Five covers for each month, so it’ll be then back to normal this upcoming month (and due to not doing catch-up anymore, November will be an expanded month!).

Top Five Avengers Chairpersons
The Avengers did not always treat the idea of a chairperson as a major thing, and in fact, for the first 100 or so issues, they not only rotated chairpersons, they did not even always say who WAS the chairperson! So you could theoretically argue that any number of Avengers were chairpersons during the early years, but for the sake of this list, I am just listing the top five Avengers who were specifically noted as being chairpersons. Without further ado, here are the Avengers who have been chairperson of the Avengers (counting both branches) the most issues! Continue Reading »

Top Five Justice Leaguer Cover Appearances
Top Five Month continues with a look to see which characters appeared on the most covers of Justice League of America (Volume 1). I stopped then because I think it would end up being a bit unfair as the different eras had such different casts, what’s the point in comparing them? The heroes who never got replaced will dominate (Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, etc.) This way, the list is actually sorta surprising!!
Make your bets before we see the top five!!
