We comic book fans love statistics, don’t we? Whether it’s issue numbers, print runs, the number of pounds that our favorite character can lift (press) or whatever, we dig knowing the numbers. So when I became curious to know which particular books I’d gone over in this nostalgia-fueled trip down memory lane were the most popular with readers, I figured I’d share my findings with everybody.
So here, based completely on likes and reposts, are the Top Ten most popular BHOC comics of the past two years:
1) BATMAN #255 (It wasn’t even close, almost double the number of likes as the #2 contender):
2) SECRET ORIGINS OF SUPER-VILLAINS TREASURY (No idea why this one went over so well): https://brevoorthistoryofcomics.tumblr.com/post/154048718974/another-big-treasury-edition-was-the-next-book-
