  1. Not perfect, but the best X-Men content in years. My son, who is 13, is also totally engaged and is going back and exploring more about the X-Men.

    This show has already done more to help rebuild the X-Men brand that anything since its trashing years ago in Avengers vs. X-Men (If not earlier as that was pretty much the last nail in the coffin).

  2. Watched the first two episodes last night.

    Great start! Really enjoyed both episodes

    Loved the characters and their arcs. Good mix of action and character development scenes. Loved small little cameos of characters that I got to mention/explain to my son.

    I always enjoy the simplicity of the team hanging out together playing basketball or similar activities in their down time. Glad they put scenes like that in.

    I really enjoyed how they treated Cyclops better then he has been for years! Finally!

    Sounds like a mutant ability. Stan Lee might have been on to something with the X idea that humans fear that which is different.

    And does it always have to be about “appeasing groups” to some of y’all? How about comics don’t just have to be mindless entertainment but can also be an art form that reflects the ever changing world around us? Maybe Kevin Feige feels that responsibility with all that power, regardless if there’s a vocal contingent opposed to the march of change.

    Sounds like someone is overreacting a little today...

    I’m buying all issues 94 -150 to read. Never read them before. Figured when it comes to the keys in that run, I’d pay a bit more to have them in The 9.4 to 9.6 range thinking it best for selling 20 years hence. 

    Nice! Good luck in your journey!

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Landon and I'm 27 years old, owning a AF15 has been a real dream/goal of mine for a LONG time. I've been a huge SM fan my whole life. This was the perfect copy for me and I love it so much! 

    I want to thank the seller Bunky Brian, he helped me out a lot and was very informative and patient. 

    Glad to be in the club.

    Very nice book for the grade! Wow!

    I just buy Amazing Spider-man then binge read on the Unlimited Ap.

    Makes sense. In the past couple of years, I have dwindled down my pull list to one marvel book (Uncanny Avengers) and I am just riding that one out to the end.

    Basically when a title gets cancelled or renumbered I just didn't renew my pull list.

    I have always been a huge X-Men fan, but just can't commit any longer.

    I wait until books go on sale on comiXology, but I have been thinking about Marvel Unlimited as well.

    There are very few that I saw yesterday. Metro had a 5.0 with marvel chipping, someone had a low grade raw. Only 2 I recall seeing, but not everyone was set up when I walked through

    Thanks for the update. Please keep us posted. Can't wait for more photos from SDCC

    I wouldn't go crazy for grade on all of these.  Put the money into nice copies of 1-16, 35.  No one judges a silver age X-men collection on the rest.  You can bang out most of the middle issues in presentable 4.5/5.0 for $5-10 each around here.  I would suggest 7.0 or better from 49-66, they're readily available in nice shape.

    Pick up 67-93 when you see them for cheap, but wait until the very end to focus on these.  Many collectors don't feel these issues are essential to a run.  If you don't have the steam to find them all later, don't fight it, just sell them off, and your collection will still look great.

    Disagree a little, but everyone has their own focus. I just my own X-Men collection for more than just 1-16 and 35

    I really couldn't live without collecting the 67-93 as par to mu collection, but I am a completionist when it comes to my X-Men collection. However, just take your time and snipe when the time is right.

     

  9. I got back into collecting around 2008 after being away for about twenty years. My first goal was to finish a goal I had as a kid and complete my X-Men run. I am now only three books away. (see sig line)

    I have some regrets from when I started back into collecting... most of it as to do with learning about the condition of a book and ensuring I got value.

    My advice to you is to stick with CGC until you get a handle on grading books on your own. Decide if you want to go with speed or quality to complete your collection. You can get lower grade books fast, but the pretty books are more expensive and take time. I will be looking to upgrade once I finish my set.

    Decide on how much you want to spend in a year and how many books you would like to purchase in a year. Right now, I try to get five CGC graded books a year for my collection. Sometime more, some times less based on the cost of some books.

    Also, and most importantly, have fun with your journey!
