Comic Book Six Degrees
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

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 Bat Lash to Archie. Joshua R. was one of a few people who connected the characters in two (with a bit of a twist). Here is how Joshua connected the two…
Batlash was in Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 with Batman
Batman was in Tiny Titans/Little Archie #1
The question is, of course, do Archie and Little Archie count as the same character? When asked last week, I said yes. Even if you disagree, though, Archie and Little Archie have appeared in many stories together over the years (particularly the last 20 years as Archie has more or less officially adopted Little Archie as being Archie’s past) so the connection would be one more move, making Joshua and the others who used Little Archie as being on even footing with those of you who used Bat Lash/Batman/Punisher/Archie as your three-turn answer. So no harm no foul either way!
Joshua’s challenge is…
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark to Nox, Goddess of the Night

Last week was Judge Dredd to Marco Polo. Ryan Davies was one of a bunch of folks who got it in two. Ryan got picked at random. Here is how Ryan connected the two characters:
Judge Dredd met Batman in Judgement On Gotham(1991)
Batman met Marco Polo in World’s Finest Comics #42 (1949)
Ryan had an initial challenge that, after thinking about it, I just couldn’t accept Jimmy Bond’s appearance in the Black Dossier AS James Bond, so it couldn’t be done. Therefore, I asked Ryan to submit a new one (and this one definitely CAN be done).
Ryan’s challenge is…
He-Man to Abslom Daak
By the way, for the purpose of connections, the Doctor is the Doctor is the Doctor is the Doctor. Seventh, sixth, whichever, they’re all the same character.

I don’t believe I ever made a public decision on this particular topic, but I will now. DC’s version of, say, Don Quixote is different than America’s Best Comics’ version of Don Quixote. That said, Ryan did not know that when he made his challenge, so I’ll allow America’s Best Comics to count as DC Comics for this challenge (since DC did own America’s Best Comics, after all). But not for future challenges!

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 Prez Rickard to Barack Obama. Tuomas was one of a decent-sized group of people who got the connection done in two turns, using Pre-Crisis Supergirl and Post-Crisis Supergirl as the same character. I tend to believe that they wouldn’t count as the same person, but I did not make that ruling, so I don’t feel right excluding the connection. Tuomas is the one who got picked at random. Here is how Tuomas connected the two characters:
Prez Rickard met Supergirl (Kara) in Supergirl #10 (1974)
Supergirl (Kara) appeared with Barack Obama in Action Comics #901 (2011)
Tuomas’ challenge is…

Last week was David Letterman to H.P. Lovecraft. Cully was one of a bunch of people who got the connection done in four turns. Here is how Cully connected the two characters:
David Letterman appeared in Avengers #239 with Hawkeye
Hawkeye appeared with Batman in JLA/Avengers
Batman appeared with Jakita Wagner in Planetary/Batman: Night on Earth
Jakita appeared with HP Lovecraft in Planetary/Authority
Respondent Omar Karindu had a fair point when he noted that Lovecraft is not actually named in the Planetary/Authority issue. For the sake of this game, though, let us say that if a person is not named but it is made clear that it is a famous person, then it counts (like when Reagan appears in the Justice League, they don’t call him Reagan but it is clear that it is Reagan). What doesn’t count is if the famous person is given a fake name, like President Raygun or David Endochrine (in Dark Knight Returns).

Comic Book Six Degrees: Hero Zero to The 22 Brides
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 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).
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 Gumby to NFL SuperPro. Andrew was one of many who got the connection done in four turns. Here is how Andrew connected the two characters:
Gumby appeared in War of the Independents #1 with Shi
Shi crossed over a couple of times with Daredevil
Daredevil appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #16 with Spider-Man
Spider-Man appeared in NFL SuperPro #1 with NFL SuperPro.
Andrew’s challenge is…

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 does not count)!
