About List of the Damned
Comics are full of definitive takes nobody’s bothered to write down properly. Best runs. Most underrated artists. Characters who got done dirty. Storylines that changed everything and somehow got forgotten anyway.
List of the Damned exists to fix that.
This is comics coverage with a point of view — ranked, argued, and occasionally wrong on purpose just to see what happens. You won’t find any algorithm-bait here. There’s no playing it safe. It’s just genuine opinions about the medium from people who’ve read way too much of it.
