  • inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+38Oh great. It's on 11 pages and tells us nothing we don't already know. Great article, *****.
  • kinseyincanada, on 01/05/2009, -2/+3411 ***** pages.
  • Dumbledorito, on 01/05/2009, -1/+30What the ***** kind of page layout is that?
  • Linguo, on 01/05/2009, -2/+23God damn 11 ***** pages? Tedious doesn't even begin to describe that article even though it was enjoyable content.
  • Ghoztt, on 01/05/2009, -3/+2011 pages? What the heck? I thought web 2.0 was getting over this crap.
    BURIED.
  • DavidYeah, on 01/05/2009, -0/+14I'm going to make a list called "9 stupid things diggers will digg if you put them in list form."
  • matriculated, on 01/05/2009, -0/+13Powergirl's boobs put the 00 in 2009!
  • WNW3, on 01/05/2009, -0/+13That was a stupid article.
  • woodrail, on 01/05/2009, -0/+9yes, thanx alot. I hate that spread-it-over-8-pages *****.
  • JonnyBebop, on 01/05/2009, -0/+9No Invincible? :(
  • Trooperof3, on 01/05/2009, -1/+9Umm Deadpool should have been on the list.
  • KirbyMorph, on 01/05/2009, -1/+9why is this linked to msnbc when they are just reposting a newsarama link? do these people even read the ***** articles they submit?
  • inactive, on 01/05/2009, -1/+9Nova, Hercules, Captain America (Bucky), and Daredevil are some of the best things coming out right now. Definitely better than Wanda, Dr. Strange, Fury, and Power Girl.
  • DyceFreak, on 01/05/2009, -7/+15Steven Colbert
  • RobbleRobble, on 01/05/2009, -0/+7FTA: "And Hollywood might be in Dr. Strange's future too, with a tentative 2012 movie planned to be directed by Guillermo Del Toro and possibly scripted by Neil Gaiman."

    You know what? I don't care if they make Dr. Strange or not. Just get those two together to make ANYTHING and I'll be happy.
  • timothiuz, on 01/05/2009, -0/+7Thank you
  • Chooxo, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5Not exactly full of juicy plot details.

    More like "keep an eye on this superhero because... because... they've got a movie/comic coming out!"
  • zomgwaffles, on 01/05/2009, -1/+6He didn't die, he's MIA
  • KingHarvest00, on 01/05/2009, -1/+69 marvel and dc characters to watch in 2009
  • TheUngod, on 01/05/2009, -8/+13No Blunt Man and/or Chronic?
  • Gankfest, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4And yet it would be at least twice as interesting.
  • ericthegreat, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4If it weren't for stupid lists then Digg would only have 1/4 of the content.
  • xtal3, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Who watches the Watchmen?

    Seriously, they didn't use this very obvious and relevant setup.
  • CrushThemTorg, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4The state senate appoints an oversight board.
  • mentok, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4The kind that gets lots of ad revenue.
  • coltrane68, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4Does the author even know that there are comic book companies other than Marvel and DC? This article read more like a press release than an informed narrative.
  • C0leBurns, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4Hit "Print this" to read them all on one screen
  • inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3Oh my god! It's *****-knocker!
  • darkjolt, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3So why is this in Gaming Industry News?
  • wild, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4Bruce Wayne still dead? Yes? Then Batman comics are dead to me.
  • bytor4232, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3Yup. Wayne == Batman. Without Bruce wearing the Cowl, it just isn't the same.
  • alexforcefive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3hey kids, it's mark hamill!
  • hushpuppy20, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3I'm interested in The Scarlet Witch the most out of those on this list. She's responsible for a million deaths, possibly dooming all mutants, ruining Spider-Man's life and yet gets to be an Avenger again? What gives?
  • inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I haven't read DD in ages, but the other three are awesome. Nova, Incredible Hercules, and Captain America are easily among my favorite comics currently being published. Throw Guardians of the Galaxy, Amazing Spider-Girl, and X-Factor into the mix, and you've got my top six.
  • MadHarvey, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2This is how I feel about life. With our sad 3 dimensional perceptions, each moment must come after the next--One moment a time.

    Whilst the Tralfamadorians, with their 4th-dimensional perceptions can view all moments at once. It is as if they have access to the single-page version of the website of existence, and I am jealous.
  • wild, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2Same *****. He isn't in the comics, so I have no interest in the character.
  • graywolfz10, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2bush bashing is out obama ass kissing is in.

    Didn't you get the memo?
  • boombye, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2This is about comic book characters, not stupid video game characters that nobody liked.
  • ericthegreat, on 01/05/2009, -1/+3Batman's not dead. That was his Skrull imposter that got blown up.
  • douce2, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2Even though I don't read comics, It was an interesting article to catch a person up on what's going on in the comic universe.
  • inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2You mean the Deadpool that's being written into the ground by Daniel Way? I've never been able to stand anything Way has written.

    I still can't believe they canned Fabian Nicieza and replaced Cable & Deadpool with those awful new books.
  • NovaPrime9, on 01/05/2009, -1/+3Dugg for Nova. (duh)
  • inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I still can't believe Steve Gerber died...
  • Gman311, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2zzzzz boring characters mostly
  • pt4117, on 01/05/2009, -1/+3This is about comics, and not movies.
  • holzp, on 01/05/2009, -1/+3No kidding, you would think after 30 years of cameoing in every book and being a member of every damn team out there they would just come out and say there are like 10 clones of him roaming around the Marvel Universe.
  • johnnyblazepw, on 01/05/2009, -1/+2buried for assuming people will click around until they find a workaround to an 11 page article with 1 page of content.
  • dragonDC, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1dugg because i want to see more comics stories on the front pages of digg.

    Almost buried for not having the coolest current character: image comic's INVINCIBLE!
  • inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Dugg for the awesomeness that is Nova.

    Man, they need to clone DnA (heh) so they could write most of Marvel's line. Blue Blazes, could you imagine the awesomeness of DnA writing the Avengers? I still miss Force Works--that book had so much unrealized potential (thanks to bad art, inconsistent art, the fact that it got caught up in a mega-crossover way too soon, and the fact that the book got killed when Marvel hit their mid-90s financial crisis).
