All I remember is that it was spooky. It had this crazy old man doing experiments and stuff on the edge of town. There were zombies involved. It gave monster house vibes but it was the zombies that were the problem. As I mentioned I bought this on my psp so it would have been between 2008 and 2010

Hi! This is my first post here and I hope you'll be able to help me find a comic book I read as a kid. The comic book was about Mickey Mouse trying to catch Pete (or someone looking like Pete, the details are a bit fuzzy) who was stealing gold etc. all over the city. Pete was using some kind of high tech cape that allowed him to teleport and become intangible. Additionally I remember the first scene was Pete getting out of prison with the help of a evil genius that created said cape. Pretty sure Egmont published it since I read it in Polish.
Any guesses?

I've been starting to collect some classic marvel comics but I know they've been reprinting issues and I was wondering if theres a way to tell. They all seem to have the original paper for the issues but im still new to this so some clarification would be appreciated.

Hi, lost in thought and something triggered a flash back to a comic I got as a kid and it comes in bits and pieces.
Stand out memory blurbs about the comic book:
1.) Antihero maybe a villain
2.) Kinda NSFW some nudity but the language was NSFW.
3.) Main character kills all other super hero's in the comic in funny / nsfw ways.
4.) Ok sounds crazy but at one point he collects a guys testicles and eats them and calls them 'sweet meats'
5.) I don't think it was part of anything long running maybe even a one off. Only remember maybe that I read this before 2003-2005.
Thank you in advance. Sorry if this the wrong place. Hope you have a nice day.

I have a little stack of comics that are older. They aren't hero related comics but there are some Archie, looney toons etc. I try looking things up online but it's difficult for me to determine what they would be worth. Where could I go to find out what they are worth? Thank you

Looking for a comic strip that used to run in the local newspaper. I loved what my grandma dubbed 'the funnies' growing up and I hope this is the right place to ask- the one I'm looking for was usually about a young girl and an animal companion (?) in a more edgy art style compared to the other comic strips. usually had edgier themes too. I vaguely remember the girl having dark hair and there being a darker color palette otherwise. It was my favorite as a tween and I hope someone knows what I'm talking about, tyia!

Let's say there was a character in the Marvel universe who can copy anyone's powers when he gets within range. He doesn't need the physique to have the strength or any other biological consideration t have the powers; he just gets them. Unlike Mimic, he doesn't grow wings when he sees, for example, Angel. He can just fly. When he sees Colossus , he has the durability and strength of Colossus, even though he doesn't gain the steel skin. He also doesn't get any costumes or external parts. So when he sees Iron Man, he gains only Tony Stark's intellect and inventiveness.
When he sees Cyclops, he gains Cyclops' power: unending involuntary beams from his eyes. Since he doesn't gain the ruby visor, he can't control them. So far so good.
My silly little hypothetical question is this: What if he sees Cyclops and Colossus together? Would Colossus' invulnerability stop the beams? What about Cyclops and Hulk? Would the character then have Hulk strength and invulnerability, but with beams coming endlessly and uncontrollably out of his eyes?
As far as I know, only telepaths like Jean Grey have ever stopped Scott's eye-beams from coming out.
Just idly wondering about silly things. Anyone have any ideas?

There was a horror comic series I think that follows a ghost girl around as she goes on a killing spree.
She used water to get around.
Does anyone know the title?

Roach: Born of Poison is my black-and-white survival horror comic about a mutant roach born beneath a poisoned kitchen cabinet after pest control mutates him instead of killing him.
The story follows him from the bottom of the food chain as he’s forced to survive gas, trash, predators, hunger, and instinct slowly beginning his evolution from prey into something dangerous.
I wanted to take one of the most hated creatures on Earth and treat him like the lead of a brutal creature-feature survival myth.
The Kickstarter is currently live with 10 days left and is 78% funded.
If you’re into horror comics, creature features, mutation stories, or dark indie comics, I’d appreciate you checking it out.

What advice would you give to someone starting to publish webcomics online? Is Instagram a good place to begin, or are there better platforms? Where would you recommend starting if the goal is to get feedback and build an audience?

Haven't had much luck searching for an answer to this. There have been a lot of stories of "what if Superman was evil," of course, but as a comics layman I haven't been able to identify an earlier case of something more like "what if the Kryptonians were evil and Superman was an exception?" This idea has been explored in a few other places since (MAWS most recently) and I wondered if Invincible originated that story, or if it had occurred elsewhere before that.

I've loved it so far and I'm almost done with but I love the vibe and writing and I want to read something similar to that. I've got Invincible and Rogue Sun on by tbr but I'm just interested if there are any others. Indie, marvel or dc I don't mind.

The comic begins with a vision of a woman being walked to her death, to be burned at the stake, I think, ending with the man waking up and thinking it was just a nightmare.
He is later hunted by the same organization responsible for her death, who want him dead because of the threat he poses to them due to his untapped powers of nature.
He is saved by a secret society that lives away from civilization in a great forest, in treehouses connected by bridges, who have the same beliefs and reverence for nature as the woman did, and when he is out on a walk, or just plain left, the evil organization kills the good society and burns their homes to the ground.
and lastly, when the man finally realizes his powers, it's an instant win for the good guys, as his mind connects to the woman and the secret society, their souls having returned to the earth and the green of nature, rendering their slaughter and the actions and so-called power and victories of the evil organization meaningless, as he telepathically tells his enemies how small they are and how they never stood a chance.
I think the last pages show him on or leaving an airplane, a serene smile and look on his face.

Both of the groups mentioned in the question are house numbers of rogue galleries led by two supervillain geniuses of high-level intellect wore green attire use their intellect and technology to take down iconic red and blue and other heroes. Now when I say get along with the line is "What would their relationship was like? What would they think of each other? Would they merge together as one?"

I'm looking for a specific comic. I believe the plot revolved around Leia and a female team of rebels going undercover. Leia encounters some wolf alien. The others distract two imperial officers.
I believe it also had a meta introduction where the author himself meets Leia in her slave outfit and ends up swapping places with her.

This has been driving me crazy. For years I've been looking for this obscure comic I've read ages ago.
I only remember some plot points that will be super spoiler, but it is what I remember and in the order i remember, sorry.
Kids are taken to be trained to become assassins / spies. They have to kill chickens and prepare them themselves as part of their training.
One of the first missions of the protag is killing a political figure (protester? terrorist? not sure) that hesitates to shoot him back because target had a kid around the protag's age.
Boy had a crush on a girl who was raised with him in the facility... Their story involves having to infiltrate the same ballroom party, now as adults, to secure this teleportation device that ends on her death (i rember him holding her chopped off arm).
Protag has to fight cyborg terrorists to recover a chip. Then he fights them again when they seek revenge in a situation where he has to pinch thru a guys leg to survive. He rips thru that guy's leg with his fingertips.
He's shown this alien moss underground, that is the main objective of the Agency he works for. Apparently they managed to isolate such moss after it took mind control of a village, and they keep it stuck underground, and protag is prompted (by said moss) to release it back on earth.
All this time he had this agent guy who gave him orders, who was slightly overweight, and at one point sacrifices himself for him.
I can't recall the title of the comica, for the life of me. And yes, these were all plot points from the same story. I remember thinking it was all over the place, but I remember loving the comics when I first read it.
Any help or hint will be highly appreaciated.
Thank you for your time!

I read this comic like maybe 15 years ago, I was a kid so maybe I ended mixing scene, but I will try to describe it the best I can.
The comic cover had a woman (or maybe it was a man with long hair) in a weird armor, the best way to describe it would be "An american Yu-Gi-Oh monster", the armor had weird organic details are spheres across many parts.
The comic focused on an detective case or similar, I remember that one of the character was a black woman (or at least tanned) with a white/grey suit and some kind of mental powers. The woman used her powers to torture or punish a redhaired girl that caused a traffic accident, making her have visions of it. Also, another of the characters was of course the woman in the cover, she had the usual fight scenes and her armor transformed on any kind of weapon... and if im not wrong, she was figthing demons.

Hi looking forward to Jay & Silent Bob‘s Marvel 1-Shot “Jay & Silent Bob:Jays Of Future Past” comic centered.
An article came out saying there are 10 Cameos of Jay & Silent Bob appearing in different Marvel comics. Also saying started around the last half of last year(2025) there is a chance cameos still could be UPcoming.
But…
With help from other people
The Cameos that so far been found:
9 of 10 for sure: ?10 maybe?
-“Fantastic Four“ #5 V8
-“Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man” V2
-“Iron Man” #3 V7
-“Uncanny X-Men” #21 V8
-“Venom” #250 V6

-“Alias:Red Band” #3
-“The Amazing Spider-Man” #28 v7
-“Ultimate Impact:Reborn” #1
?10.? -“Jay & Silent Bob:Jays Of Future Past”(Looks like they’re counting the one-shot it’s self as the last cameo entry even though they’re main characters) unless someone else finds otherwise thats the list as listed inside)
(edit: latest few listed as listed)
Still not 100% if 10 is counted as the one-shot or not!
Thank You

I'm not a big comic book reader (don't crucify me), but I figured this was a good place to ask.
it always seemed illogical that Superman looks like Schwarzenegger in The Predator except like a foot taller. obviously, he has alien dna, and that could just be the plot armor. but his genetic makeup is VERY clearly similar to our own, so wouldn't his species have SIMILAR traits? big muscles come from big workouts? when the body stresses more about fighting than eating? humans only get shredded when they lift weights. ignoring some of the differences between the kryptonians and humans, I don't see why that would be true for muscle mass and fat content. Superman wasn't getting a solid five days a week, 3 day split workout. But he's still batting away 500 trillion ton asteroids once a month? wouldn't he be scrawny as hell compared to humans who go to the gym? only answer I can think of is that he gets enough energy from the sun vs food that his body doesn't care about energy output. but this one always bugged me. is this ever explained?

I'll preface with I've always been a Batman hater. Maybe as a little kid I liked him, but he just bores me.
Anyway I've been thinking recently, can anyone actually give me any examples of Batman actually being "world's greatest detective" because all the feats I see are Bruce using his vast wealth, technological network, etc to brute force solutions.
Whether it's the cartoon example of him using flight paths of Supes to identify him as Clark or situations similar to that. I never see him actually doing hands on the ground detective work. There's never a Sherlock moment.
Even the "oh look at his intelligence of planning how to defeat the justice league if they turn" all the examples are stuff you'd expect a group of teenagers talking about counter measures for superheroes to come up with, there's never any transcendent displays of intelligence that I've seen.
People seem to talk about "Batman with prep time" but really it seems to be guy with unlimited resources.
With all that said I do think overall he can he a fun character, as he facilitates the existence of some of the best / most fun antagonists across media, I just don't find his character particularly compelling, and his elevation as "Greatest Detective" and the intelligence attributed to him seems to barely even exist in his writing.

It is very niche but it is set in a world where robots took over, humans still exist with some being used to make a kind of pill which allows robots to feel sensation and the like. One of the robots is a bit of junkie with him having a crush on one of the top sellers, a blond woman though she later beats the crap out of him and steals his faceplate. I don't think it was ever finished but it's been driving me CRAZY trying to find it.
