PLEASE no questions about monetary values of particular issues - that is only possible with direct physical examination of the individual issues.  I recommend the Overstreet Official Comic Book Price Guide, which has everything you need including a guide as to how to evaluate the condition of comics, which has HUGE amounts to do with it's value.

Expertise

I'm mostly a DC/Marvel fan, but can answer a wide variety of questions on pretty much anything but romance and sword-and-sorcery comics. Ask away and find out if I have the answer. (Even if I don't, I can probably guide you to where you CAN find it!) PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME to give you a value on comics - that is only possible by direct physical evaluation of the individual issues.

Experience

I've been a collector for almost 35 years of mostly (but not entirely) super-hero titles, with occasional forays into other types of comics. I also personally know a few comics artists/writers, and am VERY experienced with Web Comics as well.
