The survivors had to learn to get by with the resources available to them on the island. Sable became proficient at archery, and had plenty of time to practice martial arts, which came in useful during their frequent battles with zombies, created in a secret Nazi experimental research bunker. They managed to keep going against the onslaught, until one day they were rescued by a passing cruise liner. Sable will always be grateful to Captain Stubing for taking them back to civilisation.

Now that you’ve put that down in isolation, it does sound like a DC / Marvel crossover story; a Spidey / Silver Sable / Bizarro triangle. Just extending the original proposal.

The Modok Assassin mini-series from Secret Wars Battleworld was an entertaining and absolutely ridiculous read, though the artwork didn’t do much for me. So, reasonable to continue with the humour approach here.

I’d recommend the evil / Infamous moral path on the second game. A much better ending.
-
Go on, I’ll second it. As long as he promises to behave himself here and not become infamous. That’s my only condition.

Yup. Same outcome as asking for a ‘Suck it’ post. Silence.

"Ask Greggy" used to be popular. Perhaps a new, more contemporary version could be started; "That's What Greggy Said".

Can't be comfortable, sitting on a skyscraper like that.

Could be the start of an interesting new game.

I was thinking more along the lines of super-heroics in the outside world, rather than the first Inhumans story arc in FF, set in Attilan. Just a guess on my part.

Marvel Super-Heroes 15?

Do semi common printer defects affect your buying a book?
Ken Aldred replied to Venomous72's topic in Comics General
Yup. Much better. Couldn’t find it on YouTube or share that TV version from Daily Motion on my phone, sadly. -

For the grade and price it’s negligible. Something like ink spray would be worse. My OCD and psychotic-level pickiness really kick in for NM grade and the stress of the associated nosebleed price. That was before the recent explosion in key comic book prices. Now it wouldn’t work for me at all. I wouldn’t be able to find a presentation vs price sweet spot. Something I empathise with. -
Can you call a book with a dinged corner NM?
Ken Aldred replied to lostboys's topic in Comics General
The Avengers 92 9.4 I mentioned had a very obvious, rippled corner crush in this location, far worse than that. Not a 9.8, not noticeably colour-breaking, but still fugly for a NM 9.4 on an otherwise amazing-looking book. One of my favourite Adams covers, and memorable for that reason. -

I've seen an Avengers 92, 9.4 slab, with brilliant colour strike and looking fresh from the newsstand, graded as that with a very obvious, prominent, top right corner crunch. So, quite possible. -
I think that’s the right level. I’m most likely even less familiar with it than your intro class students.
-
Thanks for the info. Relatively complex system compared to here, but a crystal clear explanation.
-
It's not that bad.
-
Whether it's a bubble or a correction, I can afford neither. So, pragmatically, stressing about a definition has become quite pointless to me.

124 to 130 Mister Miracle 19 to 25 (7 issues, first series) Good Bronze Age stories by Steve Englehart and Steve Gerber, and excellent artwork from Marshall Rogers and Michael Golden.
-
Interesting. As a Brit, I wouldn't have been aware of any of this.
-
Yup. And, if collectors or speculators didn't like the label obscuring the cover, then they could always use some lighter fluid to remove it. No problem, especially with cheap books like this one.
