Aquaman is prob the most important to Marvel, as it keeps DC sales low.

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Martian Manhunter/Aquaman

Spider-Man
Hulk/Thor/IronMan/CaptnAmerica
Silver Surfer
Juggernaut

Batman
Superman comes after Batman who sells better and has most events around him
Flash in universe I'd argue hrs more important than Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman out of comics she might sell better than Flash because her loyal fanbase
Aquaman not as important in universe as any of the 4, but he sells well currently

Don't really think Manhunter is as important as those 5.


Over at Marvel their only icons for the longest time was Spiderman, Hulk, and Wolverine. You could throw in the FF and X-Men as well. Not sure how it works over at marvel now, but theyve replaced alot of the listed characters.

Weird call out given he's had a title for the last 7 years or so. And J'onn... oh well.

But in all seriousness, I remember his book outselling Thor and Hulk a few years back. Or am I "misremembering"?

I think the Mera issue of Johns run outsold everything over at Marvel for the month.

He got a NY times award to for the Trench if I'm not wrong.
