Describe The Cover No Pics

Inspired by some recent sales threads. This thread is a game. You describe a comic book cover in five or less descriptors and whoever guesses it gets to describe the next one. I'll start:

 

1. Single Character

2. Action Pose

3. First appearance

4. Repetitive numbers

5. Todd McFarlane

 

This one is intenionally easy. Feel free to be slightly less iconic.

 

Ten points for right answers and minus two for wrong.

 

When posting an answer please post a picture if at all possible.

 

Stump Rule-After five separate boardies have guessed incorrectly, the poster has the option to reveal and claim five points OR can let it ride and for each additional unique boardie guess accumulate an additional point. BUT if someone guesses it before the poster reveals then no points are awarded to the poster. When doing a reveal please post a pic.

 

Example: I post a description and there's seven incorrect guesses, if I reveal I get seven points. If there's 7 incorrect guesses then an eighth guess gets it right, I get no points.

 

In the event of two consecutive stumps, person with last incorrect guess now gets to post.

 

There will be a prize for most points accumulates by June 30th at midnight.

 

Vagueness-If five boardies vote your clues too vague you must edit/add clues.

 

Delays-If the thread is delayed too long I will bump it by posting a new description to get it going again.
