Hey, I'm back on the Wizard Top 100 Single Issue Stories bike! Sorry for the delay, everyone. I'm going to get right into it, so here we go. The only further ado is this: If you want to go back and see the prior parts of this list, click HERE! #40. X-Factor #87 By Peter... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #50-41
For earlier entries, click HERE! Let's not kid ourselves: the first half of this list was underwhelming. Back in 2006, Wizard put together the list of the Top 100 single comic book issues of the previous two and a half decades--basically the best single issues of the 80's, 90's, and first half of the 2000's....

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #55-51
We have hit the halfway mark of this list as of this entry, having gotten through the bottom 50 comics on Wizard's list of the Greatest Comics Single Issues From 1979-2006. Which, back in 2006, was considered a comic fan's lifetime. We were all a lot younger then, folks. I was TWENTY-SIX. God! Was my... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #60-56
We are ALMOST TO THE HALFWAY POINT! Keep making the climb with me, everyone! The last two segments of this list, covering #70-61, were pretty damn solid and full of entertaining books. Are we hitting a point where things won't really feel questionable anymore? Let's see! (And yes, I, too, question that what I said... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #65-61
Wow, I'm still not even halfway through this list! Let's keep going! For more of this series up to this point, start HERE and work your way backwards. #65. Avengers Annual #10 By Chris Claremont and Michael Golden I feel like this story is less IMPORTANT (or even that good in particular) than it is... Continue Reading →
Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #75-71
For more on the comics that have brought us to this point, click HERE. All right, we are into the second quarter of this list, which you will remember was Wizard Magazine's Top 100 issues of a lifetime, assuming your lifetime was 1979-2006. There have been some... choices so far. I'm not entirely sure what... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, Part 5 (#80-76)
For more on this series up to this point, click HERE! #80. Preacher #50 By Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon The second of what I'm sure will be at least a few more Preacher books on this list--Wizard loved this book so damn hard--I was surprised by how much I liked the previous offering. I... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime Part 4 (#85-81)
For more on this countdown so far, check out: #100-#96! #95-#91! #90-#86! On with the list: #85. Robin #46 By Chuck Dixon, Cully Hamner (and Sal Buscema!) Hey, I loved this title. Robin was the first DC book I ever started buying monthly (though that distinction is not truly amazing; it was very quickly followed... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: Part 3 (#90-#86)
Hey! We finally get a really good book in this slice, after the first and second editions kind of topped out at "good, I guess". As a reminder, this is our twice monthly article where I look back at a Top 100 comics list that Wizard Magazine published back in 2006. You know what I... Continue Reading →
The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: Part 2
Welcome back to THE TOP 100 COMICS OF A LIFETIME (assuming you only lived to be, like, 27 or so and died 15 years ago)! In this series, we cover Wizard Magazine's Top 100 Single Issues list that covered the timeframe of 1979 to 2006. Previously, we went over #100-96 to see what barely made... Continue Reading →
Fifteen Years Later: The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, part 1
I have a feeling--I can't substantiate it, but I somehow guess--that I still think I'm, like, twenty-six years old or so. Like, if you walked up to me and said "DON'T THINK, JUST ANSWER! HOW OLD ARE YOU?", I would instinctively say a number in the 20's. I'm not sure why that is. I am... Continue Reading →
