#1 was an INCREDIBLE idea. Made the convention for me. Well, that and Tee's "Ted Tarver: Man About Town" comic in Dollar Bin Friends Assembled Vol. 2 (available in the Dollar Bin Store for the low-low price of $4).

Best of the decade has been a discussion of ours, but the little known fact is the decade doesn't end until we kick over to 2011.

The site does keep getting better. I guess I am a podcast fan first and always will be. Count me as one of the people underviewing the videos. Most of my internet time is spent at work, where we're not allowed to stream video, and by the time I get home the last thing I want to do is stare at a computer screen (those comics won't read themselves). But this year I'm going to make a resolution to start checking out all the Dollar Bin videos on the site. I'm sure they're as awesome as the rest of the content.

On the topic of the Dollar Bin Awards, any thought about doing "Best of the Decade"? Lots of sites seem to be doing top 10 lists in that regard.

I forgot about Rick's wife and baby from Walking Dead. Even in a book filled with death that one really stands out. That one probably deserves a top 10 spot.

ignoring later retcons, i have to add:

Kitty Pryde (possibly not dead, but what a way to "fly off into the sunset/outer space".
Thor (took all of heaven with him, on purpose!)
Kyle Rayner (from a very recent issue of green lantern corps, GREAT death).
Rick's wife/baby in Walking Dead.
Bucky (as a teenager, hanging on to drone plane).

I waffled on Phoenix myself, but I just remember the impact that had on me as a kid when I read it for the first time.

I included it solely for the "Oh shit!!" factor from back in the day.

Thanks guys.

I didn't include any of Jean Grey's death simply because there have been so many. With that in mind I also tried to stay away from any death that didn't seem to last long enough (zombies not included) to have meaning.

If Aunt May's death (in ASM400) would have stuck it would have made the list. I thought about Bruce Wayne's parents and Dick Grayson's parents but I just couldn't put my mind on a great comic book telling of those moments. They are obviously really important but I couldn't come up with an issue to link a definitive telling of those moment to.

Good job Cinlach. Reading the list I was waiting for Bruce Wayne's parents, Cypher, and Phoenix to appear. Still a nice list from Brian with some choices I wasn't expecting. One death that has since been undone was Aunt May's in Amazing Spider-man 400. That one just broke my heart.

Wow...nice stuff.

Ok let's see if I can add a little different spin into the mix.

12 - Hawkeye sacrifices himself to blow up a shitload of enemies in Avengers Disassembled.

11 - The Comedian gets thrown through a plate glass window at the beginning of Watchmen.

10 - Torque is beaten to death in front of his friends in Harbinger.

9 - Reverse Flash gets his punk-ass neck snapped by Barry Allen.

8 - Colossus sacrifices himself to rid the Marvel Universe of the Legacy Virus.

7 - Jean Gray obliterates herself in order to save the people she loves from the fury of the Dark Phoenix.

6 - Doug (Cypher) Ramsey jumps into the line of fire to save Rahne (Wolfsbane) Sinclair.

5 - Joker snaps his own neck in The Dark Knight Returns.

4 - Nova reaches down Annihilus' throat and turns him inside out and ends the threat of the Annihilation Wave.

3 - Solar destroys his entire planet after accidentally turning himself into a black hole. The first to die? His girlfriend Gayle, who is ripped apart and pulled into him.

2 - Bruce Wayne's parents.

1 - Krypton.
