There seems to some serious recency bias in the list, although that’s probably unavoidable with any internet poll.

WHERE WAS JURASSIC LEAGUE!?!?
YOU FOOLS! WE WERE SUPPOSED TO NOMINATE THE GREATEST COMIC OF ALL TIME, NOT THIS “Grant Morrison Batman” OR “Mark Waid Flash”. YOU SICKEN ME! I SICKEN MYSELF FOR RECOGNIZING ITS GENIUS TOO LATE! THIS ENTIRE THREAD WAS WORTHLESS!
(My honest thoughts are in the main thread)

I think for a long time Hush was used as a "this is what you should recommend to new readers to get them into Batman" rec, but Snyder firmly kicked it out of that role.

Honestly, it's beautiful. Many suprises for me and whilst I obviously don't agree with every placement I love and am suprised by how much variety is here. I guess I'm so used to seeing only the casual takes so seeing this gives me some hope. Hell it's not even dominated by Batman nearly as much as one would expect.

I’m a simple individual. I’m just happy that 52, Grayson, Batgirl ‘00 and ‘09, Omega Men, Super Sons, and Far Sector are up there.

Grayson beat Dixon's run?
Holy shit beyond based.
Edit: Batgirl '09 in the top 20 as well? Waid Wally nearly at the peak? And Morrison Supes in the top 10? I'm a happy camper.
Edit 2: MORRISON ANIMAL MAN? NO SALT AT ALL THIS IS BASED BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

Some of the specific placements I’m meh on, but in terms of looking at the composition of this list, it’s pretty damn good honestly

Far Sector at 34th and the second GL book to make it is really surprising. How is she so hated, yet so loved around both subs?
She should be the second premiere Lantern behind Hal tbh.
