Panel One; Kevin Matchstick, Hellboy, Leave It To Chance characters, and your little demon dude from COVENTRY.
Panel Two: Nexus, Superman, and one of your characters from either ELEMENTALS Vol. 2 or PANTHEON.
Panel Three: Grendel, Confessor, Batman, and one of the PANTHEON dudes (sorry, my memory sucks on their names and don't have the books right at my fingers.)
Panel Four: Constantine, Marv, Bond, Cerebus (the Latter Days version) and Phoney Bone.
Panel 5: Jesse Custer, Saint of Killers (?), Francine and Katchoo, and is that one of the Xenozoic Tales dinos in back?
Pnael Six: Replacement God dude, librarian (?) from CASTLE WAITING, Fone Bone, Smiley Bone, and a Rat Creature. Is the sword Granma Rose's?
Oh, you were so close to being a truly Fine Fellow. If only you’d remembered a few more characters by name. If there was a Mostly Fine Fellow award you’d have won it for sure.
I wish I recognized more than a few of those characters. Great to see the Confessor up there.
By the by, how well are comics selling these days? I keep hearing that they're doing worse than ever. I just recently read one or another of Dick Lupoff's 70's-era histories of comics and they mentioned how there was worry at Fawcett when Captain Marvel started to sell 'only' a million or two issues per month rather than 5-6 million. I wonder how most modern comics publishers would react to a 'mere' million copies of any given issue of theirs selling in a month.
Comics used to be a major medium. Almost every kid in America read them, traded them, and generally had them around. They were ubiquitous. Now they are a novelty product that one must hunt down. Sales today versus sales then reflect that. But ow comics fuel other media (movies, TV, etc.) like never before. Times and cultures change.
Let's see,

I actually know most of them, but not all. :) Awesome to see these pictures.
I can't name them all, but can give it a shot. (will avoid looking at Nick's post)
Panel 1: Kevin Matchstick, Hellboy, Demon from Coventry (wish I still had those issues!)
Panel 2: Nexus, Superman, Dynasty (I'm happy to say I still have all my Pantheon issues!)
Panel 3: Grendel, Confessor, Batman, Blackheart (yay, Pantheon!)
Panel 4: John Constantine, Marv, Definitely not James Bond, Cerebus, Bone character
Panel 5: Preacher (Jesse Custer), Saint of Killers, unsure on the two ladies
Panel 6: Some characters from Bone?
You got close.
