Finite Comic Series Rankings
🕑 Added 2024-01-14 14:11:26 +0000 UTCPurely because I'm curious, this really has nothing to do with my channel.
For those of you who read comics, i want to see your top 5 or top 10 list of all time greatest limited comic series (rather than neverending ongoing stuff like Superman)
Here's mine:
1) The Unwritten (a truly spectacular masterpiece)
2) Locke and Key (not bad for Stephen King's son)
2) Sandman
3) The Sword
4) Revival
5) Watchmen
6) East of West
7) Lucifer (only spinoff written by a different author than the original that even comes close to the excellence that spawned it)
8) Girls (The Luna Brothers are the only writers with two entries, and Jonathan came close to getting another with his excellent Alex + Ada series but he didn't really stick the landing 100%)
9) American Vampire
10) Morning Glories (the fact that it makes this list when it's only half finished and will probably never be completed shows just how good it is)
Honorable mention: Bunker (the first half is better than the second half)

Never heard of Bunker but I like the idea characters warning themselves their past selves in order to prevent an apocalypse, so I'll add it to my watchlist. I wonder how time travel is handled in that comic, I'm of the preference of branching timelines as opposed to the bootstrap paradox or the grandfather paradox.

Interesting, I'd never heard of three of these
