Redartz: Hello again everyone! Once again, we present a couple of questions for your consideration. Nothing too weighty today, we'll keep it easy.
Question 1. Many characters in comics, over the years, have been featured in more than one title at a time. Supeman appears in Action Comics, and his own named title (and of course there was DC Comics Presents, and World's Finest, but we're dealing with non-'team up' books). Batman has Batman (obviously), and Detective. Spider-man had Amazing, Spectacular, Web of, Friendly Neighborhood, and several others (Marvel kind of mined the web-slinger heavily, eh?). Flash and Wonder Woman also appeared in Adventure while headlining their own titles. The X-Men had several, filling the shelves in the 90's. You may have more examples. Anyway, the question: which secondary title (that is, not named specifically for the starring character) had the best run?

2. Less explanation needed for this one: what is your favorite card game?
To get it rolling, here's my answers:
1. Detective Comics. A tough call, as Spectacular Spider-man has a lot going for it too. Yet the great range of art and story in Detective nails it for me. The Adams issues, Jim Aparo, the Englehart/Rogers run. Some nice early 00's stories by Paul Dini. Just off the top of my mind...
2. Euchre. I think it may be the official card game in the state of Indiana. It is simple to learn, quick to play, and best of all: it doesn't require huge amounts of concentration, so you can actually carry on some conversation while playing. The biggest challenge for me is remembering which suit is trump. My wife will give me 'that look' if I trump her ace...
Ok, group. Your turn; pick a title and then deal yourselves in!
