Comic Book Six Degrees
Comic Book Six Degrees: Shadowman to Normalman
I name two comic book characters. You then have to connect the two using only shared appearances in comic books (official appearances in comics only – no cameos like Terry Austin sneaking Popeye into the background of a panel and no outside comic book appearances, like cartoons and the like). You have to do so using less than six comics total. Covers and pin-ups do not count – only actual appearances in the same comic book story (so it doesn’t count if they each appeared in separate stories inside the same anthology). Mythological characters and real people (by the way, unless a fake name is used for a real person, like Ronald Raygun or whatever, you can use the person even if they are not officially named in the comic) are unique to their own comic book appearances (so DC’s Thor is different than Marvel’s Thor, DC’s Ronald Reagan is different from Marvel’s Ronald Reagan, etc.). But a licensed character is the same in all of their various comic book companies (so the Marvel Red Sonja is the same as the Dynamite Red Sonja) and approved appearances by a real person can go across comic book companies, as well (so, for instance, you can use Marv Wolfman from his Teen Titans appearance to connect with Marv Wolfman in his Fantastic Four appearance). Approval tends to be the key (except for public figures, of course).
Every week, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of turns gets to pick the next week’s match- (in the event of a tie, the winner is chosen randomly). Last week was Elric to Elrod. Jamie Q. was one of three people who were able to connect the two in five moves (a few others got it in six). Here is how Jamie connected the two (for what it is worth, all three people connected it the same basic way)…
Elric and Conan were in Conan the Barbarian #14
Conan and Wolverine were in What If…? #16
Wolverine and Shi were in Wolverine/Shi
Shi and Cerebus were in War of the Independents
Cerebus and Elrod were in Cerebus #34
Jamie’s challenge is…
Shadowman to normalman/strong>

Every week, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of turns gets to pick the next week’s match- (in the event of a tie, the winner is chosen randomly). Last week was Mockingbird (August Durant) to Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse). Lots of you used Crisis on Infinite Earths #12 as a connection and I believed it. But then I got out my copy and you know what, Durant just is not in that comic book. The sites that say he is just goofed. Eric Henry was the only person to go to the History of the DC Universe Book Two for his connection, so he got it in two. Here is how Eric connected the two…
Mockingbird (August Durant) was in History of the DC Universe Book Two with Superman
Superman was in JLA/Avengers #3 with Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse)
Going forward, I’d be interested in hearing what you folks think about disqualifying the History of the DC Universe in the future because of the iffy nature of whether it is a comic book story or not. Let me know what you think!

Whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of comics gets to pick the connection for next time around (I’ll pick a random winner in the event of a tie)!
Remember, only authorized appearances in comic books count (for instance, Wolverine in Gen13 #13 and all Marvel characters in Savage Dragon/Destroyer Duck do not count)!
Comic Book Six Degrees: Kismet Deadly to Hitman
I name two comic book characters. You then have to connect the two using only shared appearances in comic books (official appearances in comics only – no cameos like Terry Austin sneaking Popeye into the background of a panel and no outside comic book appearances, like cartoons and the like). You have to do so using less than six comics total. Covers and pin-ups do not count – only actual appearances in the same comic book story (so it doesn’t count if they each appeared in separate stories inside the same anthology). Mythological characters and real people (by the way, unless a fake name is used for a real person, like Ronald Raygun or whatever, you can use the person even if they are not officially named in the comic) are unique to their own comic book appearances (so DC’s Thor is different than Marvel’s Thor, DC’s Ronald Reagan is different from Marvel’s Ronald Reagan, etc.). But a licensed character is the same in all of their various comic book companies (so the Marvel Red Sonja is the same as the Dynamite Red Sonja) and approved appearances by a real person can go across comic book companies, as well (so, for instance, you can use Marv Wolfman from his Teen Titans appearance to connect with Marv Wolfman in his Fantastic Four appearance). Approval tends to be the key (except for public figures, of course).
Every week, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of turns gets to pick the next week’s match- (in the event of a tie, the winner is chosen randomly). Last week was Ren and Stimpy to Prince William. Paul Lehnert was one of a couple of people who connected the two in three moves! Here is how Michael connected the two…
Ren and Stimpy appeared in Quasar #50 with Quasar
Quasar appeared in Quasar #11 with Rachel Summers
Rachel Summers appeared in Excalibur #12 with Prince William
It is debatable whether Chris Claremont intended the Prince William who appeared in Excalibur #12 to be THE Prince William, but it a close enough call that I gave it to Paul.
Paul’s challenge is…
Kismet Deadly to Hitman
