Now all I need for it to be based on the Kitty Pryde / Wolverine series I've been stock piling for awhile when I find them cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Less Blob Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Now that Disney might get the X-Men characters for movies (maybe), time to buy back all those Old Man Logans on the cheap (sort of, not really) because maybe they can beg Hugh Jackman to come back and do the prequel to "Logan"...seriously, an actual old man logan movie could be awesome (I liked Logan, but come on, we need incestuous hulk billy bob kids), although i don't know if they can get it done in 2 hours. Nothing done in Logan precludes the Old Man Logan story line, does it? (and if it does, they can just tweak a little). It was implied that Xavier killed the other x-men in Logan, but not clearly, and they can figure out a way to have it be Logan (to get the mysterio element out of the story), like Xavier accidentally drove logan temporarily insane and delusional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Less Blob Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) The cover on X-Men 155 sucked me into reading it every month for several years after that from age 10 or so onward. Then I stopped playing with comics as a teen until I became a stressed out law student and got hooked for the next 25 years. I had wanted to read some of the Byrne x-mens before that, but they were so frigging expensive at the stores. A beater of some non-key issues was $5.

Bought all of those at the tail end of my youthful collecting, bagged them, and they sat in a dark closest in my parents house until last summer. Finally getting around to CGCing some of my old books. Lucky for me they all have white pages. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Lockheed is the nickname for the SR-71 (the model of plane used as the X plane and the maker of the plane was Lockheed Martin), and the plane is a large dragon in the fairy tail. So I do not think it is technically the same character. As a fully formed character 166 is the first formal Lockheed, although they used the look and name from 153. He just got shrunk down. Is 153 technically the first appearance of bamfs also? I had the opportunity to buy a page from this book about 8 years ago, I thought the $1100 price was a bit steep at the time ( it had a nice Pheonix panel on it) . I have regretted not grabbing it ever since. Edited January 12, 2018 by drotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
