    Which comic?

    If you had to pick a comic which best represented the theme, mood and general feel of your campaign, which would you pick? TV shows are open as well.

    Redwood/Raptors:X Men Evolution
    Bay City Blues:The Ultimates
    Defenders/Brigade/Vanguard:Avengers
    Paragons:Justice League
    Freedom Force:Justice League
    New York Knights:The Ultimates

    The San Angelo University game - Teen Titans.
    The Legacy Hero game - Morrison JLA crossed with the Busiek Avengers.
    You know how you play with a cat by dangling a peice of sting within his grasp, and then pull it away as he grabs for it? If the string isn't exciting and tempting the cat won't grab. But if you pull away early too many times and deny him too often, the cat gives up in frustration. The skill is in finding the sweet spot between those extremes where its fun for you and the cat.

    That's what a GM's job is.

    I like to think that my SuperSquad America convention games are somewhat similar in tone to the Marv Wolfman/George Lopez Teen Titans of the early-to-mid 80s mixed with the Roy Thomas Infinity Inc. of the same era. However, those of you who have played in it may differ.

    Costa Del Oro Sentinals, The Outsiders (Current) and maybe some late 70s X-men

    Re: Which comic?

    I really don't know. I asked once what people thought, though more generally than this, and got these 2 answers I went and dug up:

    1 - traditional X-men superhero stuff with a major dose of Men in Black (emphasis on Tabloids!)

    2 - One part: traditional super-hero fare
    + one part: Rockford Files (very similar zeitgeist)
    + one part: X Files.

    So...I'm not sure what comic books that would be!
    KTR - as Sinatra said "try a little tenderness"
    Kindness,Tolerance,Respect

    Yes, We Can - we can overturn 16-20 years of increasing acrimony; we can change the level of political discourse; whether liberal or conservative, it isn't just that we can, it is that we must

    I AM the letter C. Look upon my works, and despair!

    OMG!!! I can't believe I would make such a mistake. Perez is one of my favourite artists. I feel so ashamed. I shall immediately begin self-flagellation.
