Today MTV Geek released its list of the 10 Coolest Comic Books Homes and I gotta tell you I’m a little surprised at some of the choices (Rock of Eternity? Really?).

Amercians love their home towns. We all have nicknames for the places we live. Some are well known to residents across the country, while others are more exclusive to those living within the city limits.

The HLR is a snapshot of more than 2,300 local real estate markets in North America (nearly 10 times more markets than last year), and it provides the average home listing price for four-bedroom, two-bath properties that appeared on coldwellbanker.com over a six month period of time.
