It's difficult.<BR/><BR/>The word "favorite" is hard for me; I tend to think of "favorite" as a category rather than a single slot ... once something is a favorite (entered mentally into the favorites category), comparing it to other favorites practically requires rewiring my head :)<BR/><BR/>If I define "favorite issue" as the one I re-re-re-re-read the most, and internalized the most thoroughly (as in, I still quote it to this day) then Ambush Bug #1 is at the very least a very powerful contender for the all-time winner slot.<BR/><BR/>But so are about 40 others.S.

I remember wanting to put together a MSH campaign set in that universe, where the PCs would try to rebuild Earth, seeking technology, energy, soils, etc. from across the galaxy using leftover alien technology.<BR/><BR/>It's one of the reasons I liked DC's <B>Superman: Last Son of Earth</B> Elseworlds GN so much. It had kind of the same theme, with Lex Luthor playing the Red Skull and ruling a ruined Earth facing Green Lantern (!) Kal El (the earthling Clark Kent, who as a baby escaped the destruction of Earth's ecosystem by being launched into outer space in a rocket built by his scientist father, Jonathan Kent... the rocket passed through a space vortex created by the energy wave that struck Earth, and the baby landed on Krypton, which had not exploded, and was discovered by scientist Jor El...)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, if you have not read it, <B>Last Son of Earth</B> is a pretty cool DC take on the same idea.<BR/><BR/>Now that's an idea for a supers campaign... combine the two universes... hmmm...James Mishlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588233931813111541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-6562999409196720332007-08-28T14:07:00.000-05:002007-08-28T14:07:00.000-05:00Now I must simply wait until some sentence, somewh...Now I must simply wait until some sentence, somewhere, sometime, triggers my own Moment of Clarity, because until then the idea of picking my single favorite issue of a comic makes me dizzy :)<BR/><BR/>[tries real hard] No, not even if I limit it to superhero comics (which saves me the painful process of, for example, trying to pick a favorite issue of Groo the Wanderer, which is without question my favorite comic series of all time by approximately seventy trillion light-years).<BR/><BR/>I can name the single comic book issue that had the biggest impact on my life: [Marvel] Star Wars #65 ("Golrath Never Forgets").<BR/><BR/>But that's not my favorite. I'm not even entirely sure my favorite issue would be from my favorite series.<BR/><BR/>Ow. My head hurts :)S.
