Point to Jon. It was the book that started me collecting so I had to start with it for the game too. And I was worried that being so close to the book I'd pick out too indecipherable of a slice.

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.

Star Wars 9.

Avengers was one of the first comics I ever read regularly, too. I love pretty much issues 200 to 300. =)

Another point for Jon. Guess I'm either not making these tough enough or you really are a demon. I think I'm sticking to stuff I know too much, but I really wanted to sneak Jaxxon into the game.

Hey, Bumblebee is on the board with a heck of a find. I'd be interested to know how you finally nailed it down. I actually have the full run of Sledge Hammer comics. Both issues. I'm glad someone found it as I was getting worried I went too hard.

Regarding the comic, it was a matter of looking through the comics Spidey was in in 1988 on the Comic Vine. For the longest time I thought that the bottom of Hammer's coat was a portion of a shoulder pad.

You don't see Spider-man firing a gun too often.
