  1. I'm kind of shocked I remembered the answer to No. 5, but then again, I did love the New Universe titles. Almost as much as I loved the Shadowline comics from Epic. ...speaking of which, how about an article on the Shadowline comics?

  7. Rats, sorry I'm late joining this party.

    2) I believe the frog was Puddlegulp (I want to say Puddle-glup but I think it's Puddlegulp).

    7) The villain was Force, which I only remember 'cause I'd never heard of the guy and couldn't decide if the name was really good or really lame.

    I don't think I would have gotten Vashti, but those other issues (esp. mutant titles) are near and dear to my heart, for the most part.

    Thanks for the fun blog.
