The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

If I had the web to search in 1986 my report would be a multi- volumed book series!

Yup. Kids got it easy now.

I could hammer out a report on almost anything using the internet.

I always have trouble picking a favorite anything but here goes...

Favorite age of comics? The Bronze Age Stories became more realistic (esp on the Marvel Side) but still heroes were heroic but had a human side to them. Characters like Wolverine and Punisher were unique and therefor cool. When you were actually shocked to see a hero die. This is when the X-Men and the Teen Titans were in thier heyday!

Ditto here. For the above reasons and when "major" x-overs occured- they meant something. During the 90's they got away from that.

If it counts as an age- Valiant Comics 1990 to 1995 The best overall company wide stories ever done.

Favorite artist? Arrrgh! okay just one name??? <<sigh>> George Perez, because I have enjoyed his from when I started collecting 33 years ago until now.

George Perez truely was artist. When one can ID a hero by the shape of their chin or nose you know he is an artist. I also came to enjoy the over-top work of Jim Lee and Mark Silvestri.

Favorite writer? Also hard. I am going to say Roy Thomas not for any one outstanding thing but for a breadth of work that spanned everything from Spidey and Conan to Captain Carrot

Frank Miller and Alan Moore go toe to toe on this one. Alan Moore has written the single best comicbook series ever but Frank Miller has written more awesome stuff than anyone else. A side note on Roy Thomas- he grew up not far from me. He often was involved in comicbook related stuff in Rutland Vt about 1 hour north of me.

Favorite comic story? The Death of Captain Marvel. Not only was this the 1st ever Graphic Novel, but the hero dies! Not in battle, but from Cancer, and no one can do anything about it. I was 12 when I read it and it really got to me. I also became a *true* collector after that. I went out and started getting every issue of Captain Marvel, then every appearence.

Hate to say it but he never died and is now the head security officer in the Negative Zone where Iron man and Reed Richards have built a super duper super villian prison. One the biggest disappointments with Civil War which was otherwise a very good series.

I thourghly enjoyed anything published by Valiant comics in its first two years of existance. Eternal Warrior being possibly my favorite. Bloodshot was also high on that list along with Turok and others.

So true.

Sounds like my idea of an Adventure Path for Eberron done here is a illegal bust. Too bad. I was looking forward to the challenge of it.

Find a place to host it and you're golden. Oh, and put a disclaimer in it that is fanworks and that your intention is to share it with the community and not a challenge to WotC. This sort of thing is done all the time.

Illegal bust? How's that?

Not looking to get P-Cat and crew in trouble and with my luck (remember whom you talking too) I will be arrested and thrown in jail for copyright fraud and drowning lil' kittens.

Someone reminded me of the SRD rules with the D20 licence of which Eberron is NOT a part of. So in theory I could be "stealing" Eberron material and giving it to others without WoTC permission.


and after the age of 18 is it still an illegal bust...... if all parties are agreed on....ah ...said bust.



3am....must be getting tired..... 6 liters of Diet Dew in me since 9am .... too much....stimilus......
