  1. 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.
  2. Congrats @grendelbo and thanks to @Point Five for running the contest! Personally, I'm just glad I didn't do nearly as poorly as I expected...
  3. Sweet! Love those two X-Men ones, and the Macross one looks awesome.
  4. I didn't know this subgenre existed...and now, I feel like I need to have all of these.
  5. This disappoints me...isn't this only like, a third of the total Amalgam one-shots?
  6. Received my raffle yesterday from @JazzMan! Gonna fit in great on my shelf of weird 70s-ish comics-related books!
  7. 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.
  8. Ooh, an X-Men double, nice! You ever want to get rid of that, let me know
  9. 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).
  10. 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.
