Breakdowns doesn't have the best reputation in some quarters but I remember enjoying it.

I remember this issue but don't remember the answer.

Ummm - whether God exists?

Nope, a bit more mundane than that.

re the JLA/Avengers Q, yeah, I thought JLA/Avengers would hold the answer.

I liked parts of Breakdowns, especially the Silver Sorceress' last stand. or so much the actual break up.

Hmmm...

Ralph figured out why sock pairs often get separated in the laundry?

wow. I never even read that issue... but we were just talking about socks and laundry in our class chat the other day...

Which JSA member did Magog shoot down, causing Power Girl to kick him off the team?

There are a number of fictional countries in the DCU.

Please name 10 of them.

Awesome work CMK. I've got a list of 16 of the more prominent fictional countries in the DCU and you've named 9 of them. (I should have asked you to name 15 if I'd known you'd find it so easy! wink )

I don't have Mozambia on my list though. If you can point to where you get that country from, I'll give the Q to you, otherwise there's still 1 more country to get.

There's the place Black Adam ended up ruling: Khandaq. Still CMK for the next Q though, even if Mozambia isn't around.

Well done TL. Khandaq was another of the countries on my list. (I really should have asked for 15! I didn't expect this question to get solved in like 2 hours! haha)

To round out the others, there's:

* Abyssia (related to Looker of the Outsiders; although now that I think about it, I'm not sure if this underground kingdom is technically a country?)
* Badhnisia (where Johnny Thunder got his Thunderbolt)
* Oolong Island (from 52)
* Rheelasia (which appeared in a bunch of Chuck Dixon's work, such as Birds of Prey)
* Zambezi (Vixen's homeland; I wonder if this is what you were thinking of CMK?); and
* Zandia (Brother Blood's homeland).

If CMK was thinking of Zambezi, then, per the usual rules for these sorts of questions, the next question should be yours TL (for naming the last remaining country). If you want to give it up to CMK though, that's your right.

Oh well done then! Weird that I've never heard of that country (although it doesn't help that I haven't read those 4 issues), especially because... I AM FROM THE ACTUAL (MO)ZAMBIA! Weird that they didn't just use that country, rather than slapping those 2 letters on to make this fake one.

Anyway, your Q CMK!

Well, the use of fake countries is probably to avoid explicitly upsetting any real countries' governments or citizens. I imagine Mozambia was not just MO added to Zambia, but meant as a pastiche of Zambia and Mozambique.

Name the two beings that Robby Reed split into, who were the prime movers in the Chris King-Vicki Grant Dial H for Hero stories?

^ I definitely think that's the reason CMK, but (as a former resident of one of those countries) it actually had the sort of opposite effect on me. I know I would have been absolutely thrilled to see my little, relatively unkown (at least in America) country of Zambia appear in a DC comic and remember how annoyed/confused I was when I first saw "Zambezi" appear in a Vixen story. On the other hand, I am an absolute 1000% fan and supporter of DC's habit of creating fictional cities and countries, so I guess I shouldn't complain when it's one that's close to my heart that's been effectively "replaced" (for storytelling purposes, if not on an actual map of the DCU).

Re: the Q: I feel like one was called something like "The Master? Or maybe I'm completely wrong? My sole recollection of this story is from it's mention in a "Who's Who" entry I read many years ago.

You are correct, The Master was one of those beings.

The name 'Future Man' came into my head but it's a wild guess.

I think that Vicki Grant once turned into "Future Girl", but "Future Man" was not the other being that Robby Reed became.

Sneaky George Perez covers resulted in a Dial H comic being among my earliest DC back issues.

^ Tangentially related, those last few issues of Adventure that followed the Dial-H series have been on my 'must get' list for ages now.

I was recently at a comic shop that was having a big sale and I saw miniature, Digest sized versions of those issues for really cheap and thought to myself "Weird. Why would DC reprint those issues in these small copies?" It was only after I got home that I discovered that those issues were only ever printed in miniature, Digest sized versions! cry

Hopefully they'll still be there for the next sale.

Correct, Myg - the Wizard was good, the Master was evil.

So one for Blacula and one for Myg - whichever of you has a question first, go for it!
