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.

Scores:
Jon - 4
The Clone Ranger - 1
Jeff Bohn - 1
Bumblebee - 1
Rob - 1

Questions:

And a note: the Grand Comics Database is an incredibly wonderful resource.
Comic Vine also works really well if you can tell what character is in the picture.

Point to Bumblebee. This was one of 2 books used so far that I don't actually own. Just wanted to include some Perez from a title we hadn't used already.

Another point to Jeff Bohn. I'm having to dig deep now. I had a bunch of covers picked out and now I'm having to pull more as I thought we'd be done already.

Sweet. Thanks for hosting Sentinel. =)

I can run the next round if you or anyone else doesn't want to, but I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend (and much of next week), so if I run I likely won't start 'til Monday.

You brought the game over so it's up to you when it starts again. If you are swamped at work, we could take a week off. I know I'll be getting killed here in the middle of May. So I think it's up to you Jon.
