Mod Post - February Requests Thread

[icon_uk]

The aim of these monthly posts is to give community members a chance to request postings; A story they might recall but not know the name of, or a specific arc, or even examples from a particular creator or genre.

We can't, of course, guarantee that any request will be filled, but given the combined geekitude of the community (and we mean that in the nicest possible sense) you might be surprised what can be unearthed.

Give it a try!

There was an IRON MAN story that was very similar to BATMAN: HUSH, only done before that. IRON MAN Vol 2 37-41. It involved a childhood friend of Tony Stark who turns out to be a murderous psychotic. Also, Tony uses the alias Hogan Potts for some reason.

Some Planetary might be nice.
Or some Mega Man.

Can anyone upload scans of the What If: Deadly Genesis issue? Bonus points if you include the "Can you name all the X-men?" double splash page.

[shadowseeking]

-Some of the original Academy X/New X-men stuff.
-Since there's a bunch of What if? Stories being posted, how about the few What ifs with happy endings? The ones where it isn't all 'rocks fall, everyone dies'.
-Some comics featuring the Global Guardians in DC?

I need more Doom in my life.
Just saying.

[q99]

Anyone have any pages of the old, fun comic 'Poison Elves'?

[viridian5]

I second this request.

[q99]

I have the early Poison Elves stuff (I, Lusiphur I think it was called?) in one big honkin' omnibus, which is horrible for scans and I really wouldn't risk damaging either.

[viridian5]

I didn't get to see much of the early stuff. I had some much later issues, but they're lost in boxes in storage from a move.

[q99]

*Someone's* gotta have some scannable stuff!

[sarahnewlin]

Wasn't there a What If: Storm had Phoenix Powers or something?
X-Treme X-Men (the 2001-2005 series....yes yes I know people hate it....but it was the first series I actually had all the TPB's for)

[icon_uk]

I just can't quite get my head round the idea that X-Treme X-Men launched 16 years ago!

[q99]

Honestly I liked parts of X-Treme X-men ^^

[viridian5]

Me too! (I *cough* even wrote a short fic from a scene in X-Treme X-men.)

[plastefuchs]

Any other good slice of life books like Giant Days?
Beside stories like Astro City, are there some notable ones in the "heroic" realm?
Some normal people stories would be great too.

Love and Capes is cute and charming as hell.

Hm, Empowered by Adam Warren (which is nsfw, word of warning) has a lot of stuff on the culture surrounding the heroes ('super dirty jobs,' a radio show of 'fantasy hero leagues' played ala fantasy football only with hero's performances, hero awards and infighting and news network), and a good portion of the stories involves the heroine and her friends talking on the couch about hero stuff.

[beeyo]

This seems like a long shot everyone I ask, but does anyone have I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream from Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor? I haven't even been able to find a reliable copy for sale and I absolutely love this story

[justinadriell]

With the resurrection of Richard Rider, maybe scans of Annihilation and the subsequent DnA era of Marvel Cosmic would be nice to see?
