User Lists are personal collections you create to organize comics however you want — "Best Batman Runs", "To Read", "Favorite Artists", whatever. Every account comes with a built-in Wishlist that's always private and can't be deleted. Beyond that, you can create custom lists up to your account's limit.
What Goes in a List#
A list holds anything you put in it: issues, series, characters, creators, story arcs and teams, in any combination. There is nothing to pick when you create one.
Smart lists are the exception. A smart list fills itself from a rule you build, so its items cannot be edited by hand, and a rule matches one kind of item rather than a mix. Smart lists are a Pro feature — see How Smart Lists Work.
