I'll post a small excerpt from a comic book cover. Each time I update, each player gets to ask one "yes or no" question ("Is this a Marvel or Fawcett comic?", "Was the comic published in or before 1990?", etc. - any question that can be answered with "yes" or "no") and make one guess as to both the name of the series and issue number of the comic. There's no set schedule for updates; I'll just update when I have time. First player to five points wins the round.

And a note: the Grand Comic Database is an incredibly wonderful resource. =)

Point for Colossus Prime. =)

I was at the local comic shop the very hour every new issue of The Ultimates 2 was put on sale. I hadn't done that for a series since Kingdom Come. :b

I'm the same way. It feels familiar but I've scoured about everything I can think of and devoted way more time than I should have to it. I'm currently clean out of ideas.

Glad you like it. I can pretty much run several rounds of this if you guys want, since it just takes at the most a few minutes to do an update (the most hardest part is deciding on what covers to use). =)

I think it would be great fun to run a round and I can start tomorrow (after I catch up on the work I've put aside the last couple of days). I just hope I can live up to the fantastic job you've done keeping a good balance between easy and impossible. If you have any pointers, feel free to drop me a line. docmidnite@hotmail.com
