I had to resist the impulse to do number one right now. That would have ruined the whole countdown and broken some of the rules which are there for… some reason. I’m toughening it out and do it as one should. Despite that rules can be broken — and I already know I’ll cheat a bit soon anyway.

Top superheroes #3: Starman. 

James Robinson’s remake that is, where he took a character from the 40s and shifted the focus to his antiques-dealing son Jack — who’s forced to pick up the title when his brother is murdered and he barely escapes. It’s very much about trying to escape an inheritance that part of you want, just for the weirdness it brings. The first collected volume has the very fitting name Sins of the Fathers.

Top superheroes #4: Toybox.

Officer Toybox from Top 10. She’s smart, friendly, fearless and she examines crime-scenes with toys. Sadly no legos though, but that might be a licensing thing.

Some of these are pretty hard since I’m more of a writer/artist follower than specific characters. So many of these are based on specific runs, and I think this is based on longest of these. (Number two though covers more comics and creators as a whole though because that’s one that’s not tied as much to fixed points in time.)

Top superheroes #5: Daredevil. 

Do not mention the films — they’re rubbish. However, get the hardcovers written by Bendis and Brubaker, they’re well worth the price. 

I did a list and there were quite a lot of names but I’ll draw the top six plus three can’t be on the list because of X.

Favourite Superheroes #6: Black Widow.

Specifically when written by Greg Rucka or Richard Morgan or Ed Brubaker. Especially Rucka, he know how to do good spy stuff (for fuck sake, read Queen & Country!). And from the image above it should be quite clear that drawing superheroes is not my forté.
