Top Five Scariest Villains In Comics

If there's one thing we've learned from our years on the Internet, it's that there's no aspect of comics that can't be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of ten. And since there's no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we're taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics.

This week, we're kicking off October's spoooooky celebrations with a list of five comic book villains who are actually, genuinely terrifying. Check it out, but beware -- it gets scary!

Show Notes:

• The Joker's scariest moment (for my money, at least) can be found in Gotham Central.
• Find out all about the Crooked Man in Hellboy (which you are probably already reading).
• James Gordon Jr. creeps things up in the pages of Batman: The Black Mirror.
• If you have an eye thing, a teeth thing, or both, it's best to avoid The Sandman v.2.
• Swamp Thing is going to creep you out.
