Line 16:
* ''[[Untold Tales of Spider Man]]''
* ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]''
* ''[[Iron Man]]''
* ''Shockrockets''
* ''[[Red Tornado]]'' (first limited series)
Line 44:
* [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It]]: Not only is ''[[Astro City]]'' properly titled ''Kurt Busiek's Astro City'', but the major television station in the series has the callsign "KBAC".
* [[Inept Mage]]: The hero of Busiek's ''The Wizard's Tale'' is fearfully inept, partly because he knows he is supposed to be evil and can't pull it off.
* [[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]: ''Arrowsmith'' had the alternate earth version, with [[Divided States of America]], and a war between Prussia and Galia.
* [[Powers as Programs]]: Subverted in Busiek's arc in ''Action Comics'', where an intergalactic Auctioneer kidnaps a bunch of heroes with the intent of selling them to collectors. On his ship, everyone lost their powers. [[Superman]] figured that since everyone's powers came from different sources, that they were being blocked mentally. He breaks the block by putting himself in mortal danger (for a normal human) and is protected by his invulnerability. Since he knows it's a lie, the mental block is broken.
* [[Reconstruction]]
