After sleeping on it when it was first getting released (and given it's long delays between arcs, no regrets on that), I finally read Sex Criminals over the past week. Absolutely hilarious.

I didn't know this subgenre existed...and now, I feel like I need to have all of these.

This disappoints me...isn't this only like, a third of the total Amalgam one-shots? -

Received my raffle yesterday from @JazzMan! Gonna fit in great on my shelf of weird 70s-ish comics-related books!

So, as an experiment, I thought I'd start with X-Men 141, being one of the more iconic and heavily homaged covers. Here are the main sources I searched through-- https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?dsp=issuegallery&IVGroupID=22688003 https://comicvine.gamespot.com/homage-covers/4015-43734/images/?tag=The X-Men %23141 https://sidekickcomicgear.com/homage-covers/uncanny-x-men-141-homage-covers/ https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/galko/lists/8803/cover-homage-the-uncanny-x-men-141 Anything else I found past that was generally just a subset of those (and usually only a handful of covers). Counting virgin/sketch/B&W covers separately (but not counting direct/newsstand distinctions), I came up with 78 books on CLZ. I also found 2 that don't appear on CLZ...a Mr. Easta variant and an Archie Halloween Spectacular 2022 variant. Along the way, I found a few images that I can't seem to find information on their books, and the images don't have any identifying info, but I think they're just fan art/commissioned pieces.

Ooh, an X-Men double, nice! You ever want to get rid of that, let me know

What's the best comic book app to use for your collection?
Cocomonkey replied to Danger Haggis's topic in Comics General
I second CLZ. I also use Excel--I was using it before I started with CLZ, and I still keep it up as a backup--but CLZ is just a lot easier to track, add, show missing issues of a title, etc., though it does cost money. It also now has a built-in connection with...something I can't remember that costs extra but adds estimated values to everything (I don't use it, so can't remember what the name is). -
Yeah, like that. I think to start, would probably focus on UXM 141 homages (as that's the most iconic, and probably also plentiful). After that, probably #1 and GSXM #1, but likely 141 first. Any publisher/series, I think...the idea would be to have a collection so that once I put up some display shelves at some nebulous future point, I can cycle in a wall of homages periodically.
