Who Is The Hottest In Comics This Week?

Who will be the most searched-for person or comic on my site this week?

Here are the current contenders:

Herb Trimpe


Jackpot

"Emo Viking"

Bayou

The Big Ten

I decided to try, just as an experiment, a more scientific approach to the Hot List/Big Ten this week.

I'm employing a keyword search tool called "HitTail" to help point out to me what people are actually searching for the most on my site.

So here are what people are actually searching for...the "buzz"...

10. Herb Trimpe: His comments at that Boston convention last week still has people talking.

9. Project Superpowers: Interest seems steady on this Alex Ross project.

8. Ultimate Nick Fury Action Figure: and why wouldn't people search for this, the figure, recently unveiled in Toy Fair, is awesome

7. Renee Montoya: Who knew?

6. Gambit in Wolverine Movie: I'm sure the news that Ryan Reynolds is going to play Deadpool in this film will overtake this.


5. Spoilers Spoiler Returns/Stephanie Brown Returns: This one has been popular for a few weeks now.

4. Red Hulk: Made more popular by the recent USA Today article, I'm sure.

3. Batman R.I.P.: This has been holding steady for the last several weeks, actually.



2. Spiderman Jackpot/Mary Jane Jackpot/Jackpot's Butt: Call it the lasting allure of Mary Jane.

1. Sara Ehret: Yes, the enigmatic name of the Spider-Man character Jackpot is the #1 most searched-for term on my site this week.
