To start this post on Marvel's Cosmic Titles I'm going to give you guys my Top 10 favorite Cosmic Character, and if any of you reader want to post your top 10, put it at the bottom in the comment section it would be super cool:
·
10 Darkhawk: Now I was really
happy that Marvel made a move to bring this character during the War of Kings, he was a major player,
and even though he's slept back into irrelevance again, its cool to see someone
remembered Hawk. Now the reason that I like this character so much is that my
local super market back in the early 90's sold this comic book with the New
Warrior title, so they are the bedrock of my comic book collection.
·
9 Gladiator, out of all of Marvel's
Superman copies this guys is my favorite, and he looks cooler than the real Mc
Coy.
·
8 Adam Warlock, this guys is
another character that I discovered
during in the very early days when I started collecting and I discovered him
during the Infinity Gauntlet crossover .
·
7 Thanos has dropped in my
ranking over the years, but not becuase he less of an atomic bad ass and more
thanks to the fact that Marvel has done fantastic job with the rest of the cosmic pantheon.

6 Drax used to be a one directional
and boring character, he was like a really stupid flying cosmic Hulk, but writers
over the years have refined this character made him really interesting, and in the
Guardians of the Galaxy movie took Drax to another level.

5 Galactus is one of those
character that you know that if he makes an appearance you know the story arc
will be great.

4 Nova: As I said in my
comments on Darkhawk, I started my collection with that title and New Warriors
so I was super happy when Marvel in the 2000's
revamped this character and made him a central character in the cosmic crossovers.

3 Starlord: Who would have ever
thought that such an obscure character like Starlord would be so popular in the
2000's and that he would be such an important character for Marvel even during
the latest Secret Wars arc.

2 Groot: Marvels equivalent for
Chewbacca, I just love the nobility of both of these characters.
