Books known by numbers alone game. Can you guess the books just by issue number

[creaturefan95]

Is it Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #3 (1st Titania and 1st Volcana)?

 

[Ebel 1911]

Let's go with #3.

 

This comic and title is in the hero genre.

 

 

Warlord #15 came out in 1978, beginning a running plot (and subplot) about the fate of Joshua Morgan after he was kidnapped by Deimos. The storyline continued as a running concern throughout the entirety of the 133 issue run, and was a major subplot in every subsequent Warlord revival. The subplot was finally resolved in Warlord vol. 4 #12, which came out in 2010. Even Chris Claremont didn't drag out plotlines for 32 years!

 

As far as being a legacy character, Joshua Morgan officially became the new Warlord in Warlord vol. 4 #13:

Thanks for the clear and concise explanation. Going off your clues I thought maybe Warlord was stretching the definitions a bit or was too obscure. Anyone who hasn't read these comics would have no idea, particularly about Joshua becoming the new Warlord.

 

Yes, the explanation was great, thanks! I'm completely ignorant of Warlord so that was completely beyond me.

[steveinthecity]

It's not Secret Wars. I think the character who is introduced in the book is better known than the two mentioned, and is pretty powerful when compared to other heroes/villians.

[creaturefan95]

Could it be Silver Surfer #3 (1st Mephisto)?

 

[steveinthecity]

Not Silver Surfer #3, though the Surfer has encountered this character in the comics.

[Batman]

 

Probably not...

[creaturefan95]

Don't know if Otto ever met Norrin, but this is the only other thing I could think of

 

 

EDIT: Though it's not on the list, Batman used ASM #3 already so it can't be that either which means I've got nothing

[Batman]

It's a tough one alright...

 

WTTB

[creaturefan95]

It's a tough one alright...

 

WTTB

 

Thanks, it sure is

[jaeldubyoo]

[steveinthecity]

It's not Hulk or ASM. It's not Silver Age.

 

Extra helpful clue:

The Hulk appears in this comic.

 

[steveinthecity]

 

First Korvac!

[creaturefan95]

 

First Korvac!

 

Of course!

Thanks for updating the list! Ive been "neglecting" that.

[Batman]

 

First Korvac!

 

Of course!

No... Of Korvse

 

Thanks for the update

[jaeldubyoo]

Sorry guys. I had to pick up somebody at the SFO airport, Traffic was terrible. 3 hours to get there and 4 1/2 hours to get back.

[creaturefan95]

[01TheDude]

 

famous for Robin's trip to the emergency room to have the ornament removed from his keister

 

AND the origin of the oxymoron "clumsy acrobat"

[jaeldubyoo]

Great guess, appropriate for this season, but not the one. It's not a DC.

 

I'm going to be out of the country for a few days so I won't be able to give any clues during those days. Here's a few to ponder:

 

-She first appeared in the 17th issue of this title. This title assumed the numbering of the original title in which the main character appeared.

 

-She is a lover and ally of the title character.

 

-Bronze Age.
