George Olshevsky, R.I.P.
I saw these tweets from Scott Edelman last night. I didn't see the news here, so I thought y'all should know. Saddened to learn of the December death of George Olshevsky, who before there was an Internet for historians to consult, *was* our Internet. In 1974, he used his complete collection — which ...

Re: Undefined term in Key (AU)
Thanks!
So, are .AU and .INH part of how the issue numbers are shown on the cover or in the indica? I'm asking because those names have different abbreviations in the key -- AOU for Age of Ultron and IHY for Inhumanity -- hence my inability to figure out what AU was.

Undefined term in Key (AU)
Not a bug, per se, but something lacking explanation. I see several titles in the Key that end in "AU" (e.g. FANTASTIC FOUR VOL. 4 5AU). I think they're mostly from around 2013. But I can't find anywhere that tells me what "AU" stands for. A little help? And maybe add a definitio...

Re: CALL FOR ANALYSIS: Alternate Realities
Okay, I guess you can sign me up for Spider-Ham, as I couldn't help but start reviewing them now. One question, though. What should be the abbreviation for PETER PORKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-HAM? PPTSS is already taken. Would PPTSSH be too confusing? It's not like any characters are going to have ...

I'm actually only missing Marvel Tales #227-240 and the 2010 one-shot.Col_Fury wrote:I have the What The--?!, Wha…Huh? and 2010 one-shot comics, and I MIGHT be able to get my hands on most of the Marvel Tales comics.
If that helps.

Re: CALL FOR ANALYSIS: Alternate Realities
So tempted to do Spider-Ham, but how will I find the time? (And I don't have all of his appearances after his series ended.)

Re: X-Men Legacy v2 #5
Direwraiths including a telepathic female They didn't say the female Wraith was psychic; Iceman requested all telepaths to come out because there was a female Wraith. Females are traditionally magic-users -- as opposed to the males preferring science/technology -- so I guess Iceman thought the tele...

Re: Avengers v5 #5
Is this where the "New Universe" story arc begins? (Sorry, but I don't think that's a spoiler any more at this point.) I gotta catch up on that.

Hag of the Pits submission
With my question about the Hag of the Pits from Devil Dinosaur (see "Hag of the Pits in AACAD 36"), I realized that she's missing from the MCP, but qualifies because she appeared in two different series. So I humbly submit the following: Hag of the Pits DDINO 9 GZILL 22 If she has further ...

Hag of the Pits in AACAD 36
I misplaced my copy of Avengers Academy #36 for several weeks in between buying it and reading it. Now that it's been found and read, I have a question. In the story, White Tiger IV meets the tiger spirit that empowers the White Tiger amulets and Reptil meets the Hag of the Pits, who created his gem...

Andro missing
Still making my way through ESSENTIAL SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM-UP and noticed Andro (originally the Doomsman) only has his Doomsman appearances listed in the MCP. I went and read his entry in FF: 50 FANTASTIC YEARS and it seems GSSVTU 2 is still his last appearance and, AFAIK, there's been nothing to retc...

Re: Avengers Academy v1 #24-FB
This also means we have to ignore the footnote in Cap 305 that says they last "met" in Rom; they were last in the same vicinity then, but I don't think there was an actual scene where they were shown together (I'll have to dig the issues out to recheck to be certain of that though). Capta...

Re: Astronauts Buzz and Neil
Wow. I find one additional appearance of someone already listed and look what happens! Thanks, wolframbane. I haven't read LOST GENERATION so was unaware the moon landing played into it, too. (And yes, I knew poor Michael "Not Deathlok" Collins was orbiting the moon while Aldrin & Arms...

Astronauts Buzz and Neil
I picked up Essential Super-Villain Team-Up amazingly cheap this weekend and have started reading it. Right off the bat, there's a really cool sequence involving Doctor Doom and the first moon landing. It features two astronauts, addressing each other as Buzz and Neil, finding an odd, spherical devi...

Re: Avengers Academy v1 #24-FB
Man, a Rom/Dire Wraith discussion and I missed most of it. (Nevermind that I somehow missed that Storm's presence in the flashback was impossible.) FWIW, everything said about Iron Man being Rhodey and Storm being without powers in ROM 65-66 is correct. (For confirmation, the MCP shows ROM 65-66 tak...
