Cover game guess........

On each cover, someone is standing on the surface/object/slab where the creators' signature is...

I would go with Spidey, since his spider-sense warns him of danger BEFORE it happens, whereas DD can only sense something when it's already happening. If somebody is shooting at one of them, Spidey will know to jump out of the way before the guy pulls the trigger, but DD won't know to jump until he hears the trigger being pulled. Of course, you're not going to hit either one of them if you shoot at them. And it's a pretty vague question. By "hit" do you mean punch them? Engage them in a fistfight? Shoot them? Throw rocks? If you're having an all-out kung fu brawl, blindfolded Spidey will have a harder time than DD, but if you're trying to surprise them, Spidey has the edge (but only barely).

Who is more difficult to hit - a blindfolded Spider-Man or Daredevil?

Daredevil.

Daredevil faces nearly the same threats as Spider-man (thugs with machine-guns, super-villains, etc.), I would say, his injury rate should be on-par with or slightly less than Spider-man (which is to say, not very often). Being blind is a natural state for Daredevil, whereas a blinded Spider-man is handicapped by the loss of the sight sense. I don't think that the spider-sense can wholly compensate for the loss of sight. In a pinch, yes - spidey would be hard to hit even blinded; But the question at hand compares him to Daredevil who IMHO is a clear winner in this comparison.

What's the Spide-man issue with that panel? It is a very cool moment.

Apodaca: Well, since he'd been blowing her off ( I mean, she must know that he wasn't eager to go) and the look on peter's face, it'd be hard not to rub it in.

Yeah, doesn't Spidey have some enhanced speed? That seems like it would give him the advantage over Daredevil.

It always bothered me that Mary Jane said that about herself. What kind of person announces their arrival like that?

I might have to go check out that Oeming series, if only for the letters.

Civil War "post Secret ID revelation haywire spidey-sense" notwithstanding, I'd have to say it's harder to hit Spider-Man than DD.

Daredevil moves with Olympic athlete grace and all, but Spider-Man has ALWAYS been noted with comments like this:

"No one can move THAT fast!"

while having dudes with machine guns rattatattatting after him.

He has been shown to be able to circumnavigate objects and dangers blindfolded as well.

Heck, in some EARLY Ditko drawn "how does Spidey do things" segment they had him showcase this by (something akin to) walking a tightrope with his fingers while being shot at...blindfolded.

So, Spider-Man all the way.

DD's good, but he's still only as fast as a really great gymnast.

If you assume that Daredevil and Spidey are equally hard to hit without any handicaps, then I say Spidey becomes easier to hit once a blindfold goes on since it's a pretty major handicap that DD doesn't need to overcome. Despite the spider-sense, Spidey still relies on his sight when he's fighting. DD doesn't. I'm not sure I agree with the assumption, but that's another story entirely. The best bit about the MJ reveal was that Aunt May spent so much time emphasizing what a NICE GIRL the friend of Anna (?) Watson was, which is why Peter was ducking out on the date for so long.

Daredevil. Spiderman recently admitted in..I think it was the latest issue of Spectacular, that his Spidersense has been ringing non-stop since he went public. So it sort of becomes null and void after that.

Even so, would the Spidersense be active if it couldn't sense the oncoming danger? I mean, Spidey has dodged bullets, but he always knew before hand that bullets were coming at him. I suppose there have been instances where he had no idea and just did a random backflip to save himself, but it's always been my impression that the Spidersense was a reflex that sort of helped/enhanced his other senses. So being blind would certainly hinder it.

I mean, DD can sort of see anyway with the Radar.

Isn't that Superman:MOS cover just an homage to Bogdanove's cover to Man of Steel #1?

Or is MOS#1 an homage to something else?

By: Greg Geren

The homage was Bogdanove's cover to SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL # 1.

Interesting how the WTC was replaced by the LexCorp tower.

Wild guess on the covers...old enemy returning to wreak havoc? I got the Titans issue...notice how each Titan holds something from their respective childhoods, which ties into Gargoyle screwing with their heads in the issue.

For the cover theme Game,
