    I would assume that the denizens of a gaming forum would have read comic books at some point, so I made this thread. If you want, make things a bit clearer by adding the name of the comic/graphic novel they appear in to make things clearer.

    1. The Sandman (NOT to be confused with Neil Gaiman's incarnation of the same name)- Sandman Mystery Theatre

    2. The Punisher

    3. Batman

    4. John Constantine- Hellblazer

    5. Rorschach- Watchmen

    EDIT: thought of #5.
    Well? What are you waiting for?

    3. Jackie Estacado, the Darkness

    4. John Constantine, Hellblazer

    5. Scrooge McDuck

    Ther's loads of others, but those 5 would have to be the "top" fivew - Hell, half the cast of Witchblade uis vying for spot #6, includsing the heroine herself.

    @Ara

    my list would've had your first 3 if I was asked this around 7 years ago :p

    Nowadays?

    Batman
    John Constantine
    Morpheus/Dream
    Lucifer (as written by Mike Carey in Vertigo)

    Never would've guessed that this would be my list 7 years ago when all I used my money on was comics. (since then i've discovered beer and girls :rolleyes: ) I only used to collect marvel and image titles. I'd never even heard of any of these guys except Batman until maybe 3 years ago.

    I gave my little brother a few of those books on his birthday.

    I don't think he ever read them. :(

    Oh yeah, and I forgot about V. He's definitely high on my list, the crazy anarchist.

    Would've put Wolverine in but since they released his orgin he's not as cool anymore. "James Howlett" pffttt! :/

    @DotW

    Spawn? Really? I read it for a while but it never ever goes anywhere. The whole damn story just keeps going around in a pointless circle. I bought a copy of issue 75 back then and he was still asking the same damn questions like "what do I have to do?" and "why am I here?" just like in the first ones. chee, 75 issues and no progress.

    Forgot to mention Doomlord, from Eagle. He of the super disintegrating ring who came from Nox to wipe out humans but ended up defending us.
