This is a game I really like that I've hosted at comic forums like CBR and the Masterworks Message Board, so I figured I'd give it a shot here. =)
The rules are simple: 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.
And a note: the Grand Comic Database is an incredibly wonderful resource. =)
All right - first up!

Alright, I am ready to go for the answer.
The New Teen Titans #13!
I was really thinking JLA at first.
-Rob
Is it New Teen Titans 13
Rob barely beats Sentinel to it - George Perez and Romeo Tanghal, New Teen Titans 13. =)

Dang. That's what I get for sitting and staring at the pic for so long without a refresh. Totally thought I won that til tonite.
I'll go for the easy one. Is this a Wolverine comic?
Was it drawn by Liefeld?
Is this an Image comic?
WildC.A.T.s Covert Action Teams #4

Is it me or did the slice get smaller!
Here is my question (and I hate to be so specific), but..Is this cover drawn by Jack Kirby?
I swear that looks like a Kirby hand....
-Rob
I think so too...maybe Thor or Kamandi's blond head?
Moreover, inked by Vince Colletta?
It gives me a Fourth World vibe for some reason. But I would buy either Thor or Kamadi.
I'm pretty sure it ain't Moon Boy!
-Rob
Only one way to find out-Is it a Thor book?
=)

Questions and Answers
1. ...
Is the silver tubing part of a character? As opposed to a lamppost. (spent way too long looking for a hand on Thor's head on an iPod in the last round)
Was the cover drawn by John Byrne?
Umm, nevermind. It is a Byrne cover. Fantastic Four (volume 1) 267.
It is the photo background that gave it away. I remeber Byrne doing quite a few of them on FF.
Sorry to jump to the answer!
-Rob
So...it's not Stilt Man?
I'm back in front of a big computer today and not much going on so game on.
I know. I was just kidding. Feebly. I barely had a chance to check out a couple screens worth of Daredevil before you got it. I would have never remembered Doc Ock was in FF and I didn't pick up on the photo cover from that little slice.
One of my favorite FF issues ever.
