This week's Trivia: Influential Comics

Each of the questions in this week's quiz deal with a comic issue, run, or collection that in some way influenced a lot of what came after. A lot of this stuff has been adapted into movies, so even noobs should be familiar with some of it. Purists and the comic book elite, though, should be able to knock this one out of the park. Brought to you J!NX quiz-master and comic book expert, Nooch.
