I'm glad that the Robot6 bloggers got to bring a different perspective to the list.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045795856077519961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-14379634981602385832010-01-02T04:43:29.149-05:002010-01-02T04:43:29.149-05:00Yeah, what is up with Batgirl getting in the top 3...Yeah, what is <i>up</i> with Batgirl getting in the top 30? And Irredeemable? Better than LoEG? Better than Seaguy? Better than Ganges? <i>Really?</i><br /><br />But while I do think it's nice to see a lot of non-superhero/non-mainstream books on the list, it doesn't really seem all that strange that CBR doesn't really cover a lot of this stuff on a year-round basis. As someone who visited the site back in the Jonah Weiland's Comic Book Resources days, it makes sense, because that's what the site has always been about: American superhero comic books. If I want to read about obscure minicomics or other stuff nobody cares about (i.e. manga, eurocomics, and other stuff that sells) - and I do - I'll read Jog or Tucker Stone or find something on Journalista!. <br /><br />What I like about CBR is that, much thanks to yourself, there is a reasonably steady output of intelligent and interesting writings on mainstream comics. Not bad for a site whose contributors think that Batgirl is <i>actually a better comic than Incognito, Final Crisis and Footnotes in Gaza.</i>Shecky Shabazznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-82435786438006903252010-01-01T23:09:16.197-05:002010-01-01T23:09:16.197-05:00Yeah, I can see what your saying.

I don't wanna say that most of the CBR reviewers don't know much about comics...<br /><br />Well, yeah, I do. But it's there JOB to focus on the mainstream, so I absolutely see the reasoning. <br /><br />Maybe there should be a special olympics style list for the best Marvel/DC stuff, and another list of comics that are good?MarkAndrewhttp://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/noreply@blogger.com
