Day 5: Character you would bring back from the dead

Doctor Voodoo aka Jericho Drumm

I’m not even a huge fan of Jericho Drumm - in fact the only comic I remember reading with him in it was the one in which he died - but they guy was Sorcerer Supreme for about five minutes before he was ‘killed’. I think he had potential.

Day 2: Favorite Male Character

Tom Strong

I like Tom Strong for a similar reason to why I like Jakita Wagner and the Planetary series as a whole. It’s a return to the kind of comics that were about in the Silver Age but updated with a modern twist. I love the character archetype of the Science Hero - the kind of guy who’ll discover an element and then punch out a Nazi. It’s part of the reason why I like Jonathon Hickman’s FF so much.

Honorable Mentions

Shikamaru Nara: Slacker kids grows into a badass strategist, gotta love it.

Usopp: I love his conviction and his fears too. The idea of being left behind because everyone around you is streaking ahead? I love it.

Day 1: Favourite Female Character

Jakita Wagner

Miss Jakita Wagner is just so goddamn cool. What I love about her is that one of the defining things about her character is that she loves to have fun - the best part is that what she loves smashing stuff up. It’s part of the reason why I love Planetary so much, it’s just about the love of adventure instead being especially gritty or anything like that and Jakita Wagner is a prime example of that.
