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.
