What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 1994

A volunteer-built online database of comic books, recording creator credits, story details, reprints and more.

It is made entirely from contributions by its users, and run as a US nonprofit incorporated in Arkansas. Readers, fans and scholars use it to trace who made a story and where it was reprinted.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
