Oh Riddler, Where Art Thou?

So, the Riddler's not returning my calls.

Creep.

But I've got one better. I'm totally peeved that I haven't been able to find a December 2007 Previews to do my "Pop Culture Crossover" for that month. You can't even find someone trying to overcharge for one on eBay. Does anyone out there have one they want to get rid of?

How about a trade? If you'll send me a copy of the December 2007 Previews, I'll send you the first trade of Rix Libris (it's only been read once and it's near mint). But please make sure it's December! I'd hate to get a copy of Previews and find out it's the wrong one. We can do it this way - the first person to post that they will send me a December 2007 Previews, and follow it up by actually sending it - I'll return the favor by sending them my only copy of Rex Libris. I don't care what kind of shape the Previews is in as long as I can read through it - writing in it, dog-eared pages, whatever. As long as it's readable, since I'm not going to be saving it. If you've got the Marvel issue, too, that'd be great, but it's not necessary.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the Riddles!

Well, it seems Bones got lucky with that last one. Riddler here again, and this one's a bit tougher, so you cwazy wabbits aren't likely to get it so easily. And since Christmas is approaching, the prize up for grabs is last year's Batman ornament from Hallmark! It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

The director rounded up Buffy, the Scorpion King, and Stifler,
But we're not talking about that Tale.
We're talking about a previous story,
The notorious film.
Brother and Sister play Sister and Brother,
Playing with time and space,
The sparrows are flying again.

Riddles in the Dark

Haha! Riddler here, taking over the blog for a moment to stump you slow-thinking cretins with a Halloween riddle. Methinks you'll have to chew off your own leg to get out of this snare. The winner for this month wins the recent horror-themed Manbat mini-series. That's right - all 5 books. But as bonus, it'll come with Superman #666, Hack/Slash: Slice Hard, and all 3 Halloween comics solicited by Previews a few months ago. Think you're an insane genius like me, Francis? Maybe you'll be able to figure this one out, but I doubt it.


Delectable, like tearing flesh from the bone,
Though 20 years pass, it stays as sweet,
The oh-two remake, bitter fare,
The oh-seven prequel, did they dare?
It feels like Miami Vice, looks like CSI,
He spreads his wings like an iron butterfly.

The first to comment with their answer on this blog post is the winner. One answer per person - no guessing!

The Riddle Game

Win Jim's Junk Cool Stuff

I was thinking the other day (actually, about 8 or 10 months ago - it's taken me this long to actually do this) that I need to get rid of a lot of the comic-related stuff I've accumulated over the years. I was trying to figure out what to do with it, and thought I might just give it away to the good people who visit my blog.

So, starting in October, I thought I'd invite The Riddler, once a month (approximately), on some random day, to post a riddle. Whoever comments on that post first with the correct answer will win something cool (or at least that I think is cool) from my collection.

Good Luck!

The fine print:

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY!!

All you have to do is be the first to comment on the riddle post of Comic Books, Movies, and Superheroes with the correct answer.

If you are the first correct answer, and you have a link to your blog or website in the post, I can maybe find some contact info there - otherwise, you can find my e-mail by clicking my profile and looking under the About Me section.

And let's give this an honest try! If you think you've really got the right answer - just post once.


The really fine print:
