DC has vastly improvised on the superhero but his basic character has remained the same. Perhaps, one could launch or buy a bookstore or two with a million bucks.Prashant C.

I love the idea of using a million dollars to go on a book store crawl, but I would have to buy a bigger house to put all the books in.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-64039490009593890332013-10-27T06:39:21.697-07:002013-10-27T06:39:21.697-07:00Col, I'd spend my million on a world tour and ...Col, I'd spend my million on a world tour and buy books as I visit different countries.Prashant C.

From the DC-Marvel stable, I like Batman, as most people do, and Hulk, Daredevil, Iron-Man, and Wolverine too.Prashant C.

I don't know much about ACE Double but I saw some of the covers online and realised what I'd been missing. Prashant C.
