It’s 2018, and somehow, we’re all still alive. But as you prepare for another year of sheer existential terror, spend some time revisiting this website’s most popular posts of 2017, some of which aren’t even about superheroes, Star Trek, or Star Wars! Note: As always, posts aren’t ranked by total views (which would be unfairly biased towards articles that have been up the longest), but rather by how many views each one received in the first 15 days after being posted. Let’s get to it!
