Talk about a great story...

OK, so it's not all out Avengers vs. X-men battles like we're seeing in the latest mini-series, but there are still some great old school battles! Love this story, and hope to collect all issues in high grade at some point.

Avengers 47- Magneto returns from his banishment to another planet by the Stranger

Avengers 48- first appearance of the new Black Knight who seeks the Avengers aid in stopping Magneto

Avengers 49- Magneto tricks the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver into leaving the Avengers and joining his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants

X-men 43- Magneto defeats and captures the X-men

X-men 44- Angel escapes and seeks the aid of the Avengers in battling Magneto

X-men 45- Cyclops vs. Quicksilver!

Avengers 53- Avengers vs. X-men! Magneto defeated?

I did manage to pick up Avengers #49 in CGC 9.2 recently. This is a hard issue to find in high grade due to the black cover and when I look at it, there are hardly any noticeable defects- a gorgeous issue that I'm happy to add to my collection, without paying 3X as much for a 9.4 copy!

I'm also waiting for CGC to return a few more books from this storyline to me so I'll let you know how those turn out when/if I ever receive them.

Til next time...
