If they had been honest and titled the list "The 30 Most Important Comics in North America of the Decade," then I would have no problem with it. In that case the only comic that should be removed from the list would probably be the Muhammed cartoons. I can't deny that they a) sparked some debate around these parts and that b) the media coverage of the riots had some influence on our relationship with Muslim communities in North America. But not *that* profound of an influence compared to everything else, and certainly not enough to merit the #1 slot in a list of important comics limited to a North American framework. Which is what the Robot6 list is even if it's not labeled as such.
