Top 50 Summary

Writing out those paragraphs ended up being much more draining than I expected, as almost everyone fell into some pretty broad categories - characters I actually care about (Jack, Kay, Wes), characters I like for their glorious absurdity (Proty II, Mr. Mind), characters I can empathize with (Swamp Thing, J'onn, Karen) - so felt like I was getting a little repetitive.

Anyway, will get back to writing about individual comics shortly, but wanted to tally things up:

By Gender

Male 86%
Female 10%
Other 4%

Kind of shamefully lacking in females - part of the blame can fall on writers who write lousy female characters, but I shoulda given Dian Belmont and Sue Dibny entries. And, yes, I left Wonder Woman off. But I haven't really read a version of Wonder Woman I liked. Am certainly happy to take recommendations.

By Dimension of Origin

Earth-1 56%
Earth-2 18%
Earth-4 4%
Earth-S 6%
Post-Crisis 16%

Overlap with other blogs:

Pretty, Fizzy Paradise: 15
Written World: 15
Seven Hells!: 10
The Absorbascon: 9
The Comic Treadmill: 21

Anyway, enough listmaking/datamining for a while.
