    Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice   Ballantine Books 28126    4th Printing December 1979    $45

    Rare later printing with the amazing Gothic cover by Tom Hall. The only printing out of dozens to feature cover art rather than graphics.

    Square and tight with a reader crease, edgewear and crackling of the gloss finish.

    Hello all fellow webheads...

    Below is the current status of my Ditko CGC 5.0 run.  I've collected AF15, ASM1-23, 25-26, 28, 30-34, 36-38, ASM Annual 1-2, ST Annual 2, ST 115 all with White Pages.  I've collected 24, 27, 29, and 35 in 5.0 but with OWW pages.  I'm keeping those 4 as placeholders for now until I find WP replacements.  But the Ditko run itself is complete (minus cameos which I'm not after).  Any leads on those 4 book I need in WP is always appreciated.  If someone reading this has any of those 4, I'm currently offering my 5.0 OWW copies plus full GPA cash for WP replacements.  Anyway without further adieu...

    Time to expand the run?

    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).

    What about HoX/Pox by Hickman?

    They will have to improve the roster significantly to stay in League One. It will fun to see how they do. It would be crazy if they could build a team in time that could make the Premier League. I would not put it past them based on Reynolds' business successes. He is quite the entrepreneur on the side.

    I think they can be mid table next season without huge turnover. Consecutive promotions has to be incredibly rare.

    Funny story, a couple years back my girlfriend got me a birthday gift that she was super proud of but when I opened it, I quickly realized that the tickets that she thought she got to the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in fact the Red Hot Chili Piperslol

    We went anyways, made the best of it and left at intermission. I won't make the same mistake again.

    They are actually pretty good!

    Keep the beer suggestions coming! lol I'll be hitting the pubs on for sure while I'm there.

    Bellhaven is also recommended.

    Truth be told, I will be in Scotland in August and will probably drink Guinness for the majority of it.

    Make sure to have an Irn-Bru. It’s an acquired taste.

    One hell of a season finale. This had it all. 

    Only thing missing was a check-up on Rex and Rae, but I can forgive them that, considering everything else that happened. Yes, it ended on the exact line fans had predicted, though altered slightly, it was still an emotional bombshell. 

    What did you guys think? Of the finale and the season overall? 

    That sucks!  I didn't realize that was the final episode of the season.  How long till Season 3?

    WAY too much story compression of the Madelyne Pryor and Inferno stories.  Her proclaiming "I shall be Madelyne Pryor!" at the end was goofy and made no sense, plus we got no indication for why she became so enamored with and closely tied to demons.  Liked it, just not as much as the trial of Magneto because it felt overly-compressed.
