Funny thing about success is that sometimes it happens to people who weren't looking for it, or at least not in the way they thought.

    I have always said and stand by it: "If we knew what would sell, we'd all do it." Actually Scott McCloud and others have told me that. Oh well I adopt it as good advice.

    Surprised Green lantern isnt on this. Green lantern was based off of Aladin's ring.

        A pretty interesting story; I always knew that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a pretty hard sell from the get-go, but that they'd get #1 on a list like that is certainly another achievement in itself. Spider-Man (my favorite superhero of all time), yeah, I kind of expected that one too. But still, it's just appropriate that two of my favorite titles claim the top-2 spots.

          I'm a budding writer and even more budding marketing research drone. I like to think I'm funny and I smell nice.
