What Are Tier Lists?
Tier Lists let you rank and organize comics, characters, series, teams, and publishers into customizable ranking tiers. It's a visual way to showcase your opinions, compare favorites with the community, and spark discussions.
Think of tier lists as your personal comic book power rankings - but way more flexible and shareable than a simple top 10 list.
How Tier Lists Work
Tier Lists use a ranking system where you place items into different tiers based on your personal criteria.
| Tier | Color | Meaning |
|------|-------|--------|
| S Tier | Red | The absolute best, legendary |
| A Tier | Orange | Excellent, highly recommended |
| B Tier | Light Orange | Good, solid quality |
| C Tier | Yellow | Average, has some merit |
| D Tier | Light Green | Below average, skippable |
| F Tier | Gray | Not recommended |
Tip
You can fully customize tier names and colors to match your ranking style!
