30. American Virgin - I'm not alone!
29. Damien - Because Green Arrow shouldn't corner the market on bastard children.
28. Blue Beetle - Just classic comic fun that has really been rare in recent superhero books.
27. Countdown - Because despite my earlier reservations, ELASTI-LAD!!!
26. Fables - I don't know why I picked up the first trade, but here I am with every issue since.
25. Legacy heroes - There are two Catwomen, two Wildcats, two Green Arrows, two Hourmen, two Flashes, multiple Green Lanterns, and various gender-representatives of different heroes. I like that DC heroes have no problem sharing their codenames and it feels like a family get-together. All Marvel has is She-Hulk.
24. Birds of Prey - A superhero version of Charlie's Angels, without the sexist overtones. Great showcase for female superheroes who would usually have to had to wait for a crossover for an appearance.
23. Animal Man - Superhero family man.
22. Lex Luthor - He's evil.
21. Supergirl & Boomer - Maybe those crazy kids can work it out.
20. Gotham City - Proof people will live anywhere.
19. Zatanna - Fishnets!
18. The Trials of Shazam! - I like Freddie Freeman. I can't help it.
17. Uncle Sam & The Freedom Fighters - Deserve their own series.
16. Checkmate - Political intrigue and superpowers, a deadly combination!
15. Booster Gold and Supernova - It's in the blood.
14. The Return of Mon-El - 
13. Guy Gardner - THE Green Lantern.
12. Catwoman - Consistently well written.
11. The Brave And The Bold - It's the best Justice League title out.
10.
No name necessary!
10.
No name necessary!09. Powergirl - I'm a man, dammit!
08. Robin - Bats' second favorite is the best Robin ever and Beechen may just be the best Robin writer around.
07. Dick Grayson - Nightwing, Red Robin...Just keep him around.
06. Justice Society of America - The heroes of the past teaching the heroes of the future - today!
05. 
- The inspiration.
- The inspiration.04. Wonder Woman - Frankly, it's mostly because I just like the character and Gail Simone is on the way to make everything okay again. Oh, for the Dodsons, too.
03. Superman - If I have to tell you why, you don't like superhero comics.
02. Grant Morrison - Until Marvel gets its shit together and begs him back.
01. Greatest. Character. Ever.

Good stuff!
I was hoping Batman would be #1.
How could he not be?
Did Alex Ross realize that he was painting Atom-Smasher instead of Damage? That's been bugging me ever since I saw that cover. Damage is supposed to be just a regular-sized guy, even if he has taken to wearing an Atom-Smasher type costume
Maybe it was a throw off, or you just have to take your chances when you ask Ross to paint a modern character.
