Stories
single issues, arcs, minis, maxis, and long form.
single issues/arcs already part of a listed arc/run cannot be included and vice versa (so Batman RIP and Batman Inc aren't separate, but rather parts of Batman run by Morrison). This may change, since I'm unsure how to rate Multiversity if Pax Americana is also in its own ranking, for example.

As w/ all my lists, it's a mix of subjectivity and objectivity. The list isn't purely "favorite" nor purely "best", but considers both, as well as historical context consideration. Contemporariness may play a factor.
