All over crisis like a white anti matter cloud...

What was Iron Man's advice to the replacement Avengers when he, Jan, Hank and um...Donald? left.

Rely on each other?

Settle arguments immediately and in a civil way?

Neither of these. Bickering was an Avengers past time. This was a specific objective.

to... beat up... the Mandarin...?

Not to battle a villain, almost the opposite.

Find the Hulk?

stile has it. Tony advised them to find and recruit the Hulk for his power. Over to you stile!

nice going!

Thanks. I can vaguely remember the scene. Your clues helped point in the right direction Thoth.

Batman is saddened and angered by the death of a famous musician. He investigates what he suspects is foul play and discovers a hunt for hidden treasure but in the end the treasure is lost. How is a mardi gras to blame?

(I will add that is THE Mardi Gras in New Orleans and involves another subject that the city is famous for.)

Mardi Gras - the treasure got swept up in the parade and dispersed through all the attendees?

Not correct but a good try.

Try thinking about something New Orleans is known for (besides Mardi Gras).

The treasure got... um... it fell into a pot of gumbo and got dissolved?

No gumbo is not the New Orleans thing I am looking for.

Ummmm....voodoo?

Gambit stole it?

okay some clues are in order. Just to check that I was remembering right, I Iooked up the wikipedia entry for New Orleans and found what I was thinking of mentioned prominently. Go have a look and we can work from there.

The treasure was gold that was melted into a jazz saxophone?

it fell into the water?

Chaim is closest, correctly guessing that a brass instrument is the connection. The murdered man was indeed a jazz musician and his instrument is important.

See where you can go from there.

I feel that this is kissing my memories. Maybe a Conway/late '70s/early '80s story? Or perhaps someone else from the same time frame like Wein or O'Neil....

were the directions to the treasure hidden in the instrument?

The musician was killed by a poisoned blow dart launched from a jazz instrument, but returned from the dead to play a couple of nights at a club following a voodoo ceremony. His battle with Bats occurred atop a streetcar, before Bats escaped a sudden flood aboard a steamboat.

No alligators?
