Ok boys and girls… we have arrived at the start of The MoFo Comic Book And Graphic Novel Movies List Countdown.

Just want to say a huge thank you to the MoFos who offered to help me out with Excel before I taught myself how to use it, Skepsis93 and Mmmm Donuts, much appreciated, guys!!



Now, an even bigger thank you to all you MoFos out there that voted in the List to make it all possible.

I’ll be taking a slight deviation from the norm and will be posting 4 films per day, all the way down to the Top 20…


… then it’ll be 2 films per day from 20-05…


The Top 4 will be posted in one go…


… so it will only take about 1 month to get through the Countdown rather than the 50+ days it takes for the other Countdowns.


This has been so much more successful than I imagined at first. I was going to hold it as a Top 50…

… but the influx of votes over the past few months, and especially the week leading up to the deadline, has been awesome stuff, guys… and together we’ve got ourselves a Top 100 going on…


… thank you all so much for the input and for the support along the way and for being patient with me for the odd mistake and for telling a few of you that certain picks weren’t eligible causing a few rewrites.

Bear with me as I think I have the right posters for these… it took a clod-load of searching to get these posters together and then edit them for the list, so hopefully I got the right ones


Some were really hard to get hold of as well.


I’ll try to keep to the same time every day with the revealing of the list… but Saturday the 5th will be at a different time… I have a Wedding to attend so it will either be very early, or a bit later than the regular time… but it will be done on that day…


I checked this with Yoda beforehand:


I’d like to dedicate this list to my friend, who passed away on the 25th of January 2014, after a very long and very silent battle with her own inner Demons.


Even with all of her own problems, her beautiful personality made the world a better place.


She made you smile even though things were bad… and she could laugh and make others feel good, even when her own problems were getting the better of her… just because she could.


I never heard her complain about her own troubles, yet always she made my own problems seem better.


Even the day before her passing, she was posting funny pictures on Facebook, simply because she knew they would make people smile.


A Tea-Light in a Darkroom.


For my Friend Liz… a real Superhero.


So here it is…










Each “PAGE…” is a link that will take you straight to the entries. Aren’t I nice?

"Hey Look it's Masterman"
Good to see this list get underway. Well done Rodent.

Not seen any of the first 4 movies. I've actually only heard of 1 of them.

I wasn't able to vote, because my knowledge of comic book films is too limited, but I'll definitely follow this to see if there are any films on the list that interest me.

I've only seen one of these so far. Fritz the Cat! It's a weird trip featuring drugs, profanity and a lot of sex and it claims to be some kind of satire of the '60s. Somehow it kind of worked for me. It's not a "great" film by any means, but it has some interesting stuff in it animation-wise and even content-wise, in my opinion.

I wonder who gave it 17 points...

Good luck with the rest of this list, Rodent!

Thanks alot for taking the time to do this Rodent . Not much to say here because i haven't seen any of those. I've watched a couple of episodes of One Piece but it wasn't for me. Looking forward to the rest of the list .



Woah, you're doing a HUNDRED of these?!? I was kinda scraping the barrel to get my twenty-five! I thought this was going to result in a top twenty or maybe a top fifty. But a hundred?!? Mmmmm, alright. Somebody give me a call when it hits the top ten or so.

Geesh.

Yeah 100...


I thought about 50, but we had over 150 films altogether by deadline so it'd be a shame to lose over 2/3 of the entries...


I've only seen Fritz The Cat myself out of the first lot... can't remember much about it tbh, I was pretty young when I saw it.



I haven't seen any of those movies, but I've read 4 of the comics (not really a fan of any of them). Well, I don't think I've read any of Azumi but I'm not positive.

Jim Jarmusch is a character in the Beck manga.



I wonder who gave it 17 points...
That would be me. It's probably the trashiest movie I've ever seen, but I love it.



Nice dedication for your friend Rodent. She must be missed a lot.

I'm well interested in reading your list. Although I don't read a lot of comics/graphic novels, I seem to have seen a lot of films based on them. I've seen Fritz the Cat and I'm pretty sure I've seen Azumi.



Interesting start. Have only heard of one of those - Fritz the Cat - but haven't seen it. Have always planned to watch it so think it's time I did. Azumi looks like it may be interesting too.



Is this list going to be added to the MoFo Lists when this is done?
