Old Man Logan

Wolverine #66 came out this week: the first part of “Old Man Logan.” I’ll have to swing by the comic shop and pick it up.
Mighty Marvel Game Exchange

Before I post this advert to PBeM2, I wanted to run it past you folks:
Mighty Marvel Game Exchange
They are the multiverse’s mightiest heroes, but there’s one problem: they tend to work best on their own (the Avengers notwithstanding). So what’s a would-be superhero to do when most solo games revolve around various and sundry sexcapades? Offer a game exchange.
I’m not looking for a long-term commitment; two or three months with an option to go longer if mutually agreeable ought to be plenty to tell a fun little story in a PBP or PBeM environment. Similarly I don’t expect to find a good match right away. Solid storytellers willing to give me a good time will receive some solo fun in return. Sorry, no cyb0rZ, despite how that last sentence read.
A few preferred heroes:
• Captain America
• Nick Fury
• The Hulk
• Iron Man
• The Punisher
• Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu
• WolverineClearly I seek something specific, but as for what you’re looking for… let’s discuss it. Genre is fairly open, though I have system/systemless preferences we’d have to hash out.
ROM

I’m going to get nerdy now. Sensitive readers and pregnant women should avert their eyes.
I am and have been for a long time a fan of ROM. Who is ROM? Well, the explanation depends upon whether you prefer to know the character as a failed toy from Parker Brothers — the only non-game toy they ever made, to my recollection — or as the coolest tie-in comic in the entire universe!
Two hundred years ago, the evil Dire Wraiths threatened the peace-loving planet Galador. In their homeworld’s darkest hour, a thousand brace, young Galadorians sacrificed humanity itself to become Cyborg Wariors, a last desperate line of defense. Though hopelessly outnumbered, these Spaceknights triumphed and pursued the remnants of the Wraith horde across the universe. Now, alone in the Enemy’s mightiest stronghold, on a backward planet called Earth, one Galadorian Warrior faces his most awesome challenge.
Clearly I prefer the latter, but suit yourself.
