But you're right, Ben ... I must've been thinking of Judas Contract, even though I knew that it had been collected many times over.<BR/>I've got a few random Janus Directive issues, too ... Suicide Squad and Captain Atom at least.<BR/>Wait, so what's "Judas Chalice"? Oh yeah, that's a Noah Wyle Librarian movie.<BR/>Rickey, let me know what Infinity Inc. issues you need.

Todd showed up a lot in old issues of Infinity Inc. and would stand around and make people uncomfortable and stuff, but that was about it. There was one issue where he crashed a dinner all drunk, but it got awkward.<BR/><BR/>Also, Strikeforce Kobra is actually Martian Manhunter's secret move during dates. Whenever he takes a lady out, he attempts the maneuver, but always misses.

I wanna say it's Shockwave, who I believe was a lame Batman villain for five minutes.<BR/><BR/>And dear lord, what the hell is "Strikeforce Kobra"? Man, '80s DC rocked balls so hard.<BR/><BR/>Sorry Rickey, none of this pertains to Watchmen. But Alex Ross also painted the characters for that sweet Alan Moore retrospective feature that ran many moons ago in Wizard.
