Yeah, it was a darn good story too. I'm not going to tell you how she was brought back because those involved and the "lead up" to it were pretty cool.

 

This was just about the time that "Uncanny" got good again, Namor joined the team and they raised Asteroid M and planted it off-shore San Francisco as a mutant haven. Believe it or not the X-Men have been awesome (IMO) over the past 5 years.

I dunno if Claremont was going through menopause or what but once Kitten aka Sprite aka Ariel the roller skating toothpick joined the team they became a bunch of pussified DC heroes.

 

I can't stand Kitty Pryde either. Completely unnecessary and unneeded addition to the team.

 

Mark you hurt me. I can't let the Kitty bashing go on any longer. I think she is a great addition to the team. In fact she's my favorite female X-Man. The team needed more brains and a "younger" viewpoint; plus her power is pretty cool.

 

It appears I'm not the only Kitty Pryde fan:

It's old 1983 Kitty Bashing Paul - and I am sorry But all of a sudden the X-Men wasn't about Proteus, the Hellfire Club or the Wendigo. It was about "Professor Xavier is a Jerk!" and "Kitty's Fairy Tale"

 

It ruined the efficiency of the team every time they went out to battle. Everyone else had to worry about Kitten not getting killed when they allow her to go up against anything outside the Danger Room - where she should have remained until she graduated whining.

 

Praise the Marvel Gods that Be that Claremont was given the New Mutants to excercise his desire to write The Facts of Life and Growing Pains

 

NOW, having said that I think Kitty is one of my top 5 favorite X-Men right now in Wolverine and the X-Men which is probably my favorite comic going. The way she has been written for the last 10 years has been great and this last 2 years in W&TXM has been the best she's ever been written. I think her and Bobby dating will make for some good stories.

Ah Mark, I understand. Yes, Kitty has grown up. W&TXM is one of my favorite reads right now as well. I'm really looking forward to see how Wood handles her in X-Men Now.

I *heart* Kitty Pryde. Her first appearance is the only X-men comic I still own! My best at the time was the only Jewish kid in our neighborhood. It was mostly Roman Catholics at the time. Mike was the only other kid on the street that read comics. We had that bond. I remember how excited he was when he found out Kitty was Jewish. "Kitty's a Jew! They made a Jewish X-man!!" Seriously, I can still hear him saying it.

Alright, some Kitty Pryde Love! <3 Thanks Rodey. (thumbs u

I have to start by saying that I love the X-Men. I have stopped and started keeping up with them a few times over the past many, many years. I am back reading them now. In fact, I am closing in on completing the entire run. That being said, when a title has been around for as long as the X-Men with so many issues, there are bound to be highs and lows. I have been really enjoying a few of the X-titles over the past few years. One title that I bought just the first six issues of is X-Factor (3rd series - 2005). I just got around to reading them and I am hooked! Peter David's writing is great. Now, I have to catch up on the rest of the series.

Welcome to the madness...

Thanks. It's a welcome diversion.

Late to the party, but I just finished the first two tpbs and started third. Great read! It sucked me right in.

Another awesome transaction with Robert. The grading was spot-on (as usual) - the books were as good, if not better than described. Extremely great guy! Goes the extra mile or kilometer for you and communicates all along the way! Highly recommended. Thanks!

I purchased several books from Robert. My purchase went extremely well. They were shipped fast with bomb-proof packaging! The grading was spot-on - the books were as good, if not better than described. I would definitely buy from him again. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Very Nice, Mr. Pence

Well ,yesterday i got my very first taste in heading outside of Montreal with a buddy and going to see a pile of comics at some Antique dealer.

 

These were all a buck each so its nothing out of this world but i'm happy to have made the trip.

 

What you see here are the better ones but i also bought a lot of clunkers,drek and

reading copies...boy did i buy a lot of reading copies.

 

Gotta start somewhere right ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice find! I'd be happy to stumble on something like this.

An 8.5 sold for $7763 back in 2003!

 

 

That's the copy I used to own. I bought it from Al Capps. He bought it from Robert Rotor who graded it a NM 80 on his 1990's grading scale. 8.5 was more in line.

Cool! I'd say small world, but with GA it is...
