I'd be alright with a 8 Days of HannuaKomics If it involves Adam Sandler, I'm out. Please, I like the Sandman but this is comics. All the good comic lansman will guide you; Eight of the greatest Jewish creators will tell you story of the history of comics and why we succeed in the genre.

I spent a couple of hours on my provisional list this evening, after some helpful clarification from Kurt, but think I'm gonna struggle to make 12. At present I have 5, maybe 6 entries. I guess I was relying on things like Jonah Hex and Herbie Popnecker counting, but I completely understand why they don't and am happy with that decision. Still, it's made it much harder to find examples that I'm actually familiar with; I guess I'm just not much of a spin-off reader. Yeah, not having Jonah Hex was a big hurt on my list as well. I have a few grey-area ones as these were characters created for a marketing ploy in lieu of a major character's death. I think I have 12... so *shrugs*

Why don't you save them for the Cover Contests? I'm sure there will a Christmas theme....

I may sit this out as well--I've only got 4 or 5 on the list and I should boycott since the "no strips" rule means I can't use Snuffy Smith!! Actually, since we're talking about rules, I don't think there's a rule that says participants *must* have 12 picks. You could probably just go with the ones you have. I'd be alright with a 8 Days of HannuaKomics, for us Chosen People.

My head is spun around on these rules and who might or might not be. Ha! Glad it's not just me who is getting in a muddle trying to keep the rules straight. I'm going to submit 12; rules be damned. Hey, come on, man...try and play the game. Let's get Cei-U!'s rules clarified and then all try to stick to them. It's more fun that way. Hopefully we get a separate post with cut and dry rules. I think most of mine would work. I have one repeater for different series and I sent Kurt a private message about one character that I haven't heard back yet. I'm sure he's going through a lot of those.

And what of the reverse: a title or one-shot created just to introduce upcoming titles? Iron Man & Sub-Mariner #1, for example. Do we count both of those ongoing features as spin-offs because of that promotional one-shot? Or would the fact that both characters had features prior to that disqualify them anyway? And what about a character like Longshot, who debuted in his own title, but who was clearly tied to the X-Men franchise? I think this is related to Shax's question here, but perhaps too specific. I'll take the answer by PM if this is too close to the rules lawyering I know we try to avoid, but what about events that were specifically designed to create spin offs (I'm thinking Infinity xxxxx and the Bloodlines annuals) But Bloodlines was technically a showcase to premiere a character, like Hitman. It was specifically built for the creation of that character. From what the rules are stating, that wouldn't be allowed since its his premiere. My head is spun around on these rules and who might or might not be. I'm going to submit 12; rules be damned. I summon the Advil! -R

All this red meat from these posts isn't good for the colon. Here, let the Colonel take care of that... Colonel Sanders #1 (1969)

I think I have 12... this is tougher than I thought. Again, I'm winging this like I usually do.

- Alice Ever After #5 - Captain America #3 That's it I some how missed that JMS was on Cap, how is it so far? So far so good. But JMS has been known to not have good endings to his prior series. They sort of just fizzle out. At least IMO. Majestic's right. JMS can build a good story arc can't hit the mark at the end. The story arc of what he's doing shines a light back on a part of the US that most try to deny which makes for compelling reading. Mainly Jesus Saiz's artwork is the draw for me. It's so nice!

Oh boy! Thank your niece for the great theme this year Kurt! This is going to take some time and careful reviewing. Alas a lot of the comics I like are creator owned books, which is going have me delve into series and runs I love. Cei-U!, would a series be eligible if the series didn't come out 30 years after the character's introduction? Example, Character A was introduced in the 1940s, been around as a supporting character and then didn't get his series until the 1970s? Does the spin-off need to within a time of their appearance?

As i was visiting my parents in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving, I went to 4 different comics shops for their Black Friday sales... goose egg. Nothing at these shops stuck my fancy. Came home to my LCS and picked up these fun books at 30% off. I believe Crimebuster is the Daredevil guru. Is this the Frazetta issue? Also, some super early Adam Hughes covers. More to come tomorrow... as uncle Howard Chaykin says: "Trust me on this" I also have that issue #82 of Daredevil. Frazetta did a 1-page anti-drug PSA inside, but nothing else. I knew that he an advert inside, just didn't know what it was. Thanks tartanphantom!
