My comic reading nook overfloweth; This week saw the arrival of half of these trades (Inferno onwards), the other half arrived last week and I quickly devoured them as I worked to catch up on what is now clearly one of the best X-Men run I've ever read and possibly one of my top three rosters of the team.

I own these as first prints but was able to obtain a 3rd print of the first cameo, which I believe is the first cover appearance. I'm not sure the release date of other covers.

Just glad I saw them, they were sandwiched in a run of Iron Man, and had like 3 different price stickers lol

I don't own these, I just borrowed them to read.

I love this cover, the variant covers are ok. There's a Frank Miller variant cover for this book. There's a foil that looks really nice but I prefer this standard cover. I didn't realize Mat is a priest and catching up with that fact I enjoyed the story. The interior artwork I kind of liked.

The the Hulk book that I've not been reading but was drawn by the Man thing.

I enjoyed this story, it appears to be part one with the story continuing in the next issue. I also enjoyed the interior artwork.

Grabbed this from Ebay yesterday. The book is much darker in hand but this scan (not mine) is washed out a bit.

Nice pickup. I did get a 9.8 off of eBay earlier in the summer.

I did just get Gears #9 the Lee Variant which is supposed to be very scarce for the entire series. It is in 9.8 condition so it'll be one I'll be sending in at some point.

Thank you. It's a cool run for sure. Some of the gears covers are outstanding. Good luck with your sub on that 9 copy. :wishluck: :headbang:

I remember seeing this one on Ebay.  Nice pickup! I really enjoyed the Gears story. The comics and novels did a great job at adding to it.  I have the 3 hardcover trades that have all the comics collected

Thank you. (thumbsu That's cool. I may have to grab a reader copy at some point. I like the Halo books as well. All those videogame books like Mass Effect, God of War, Halo, Gears..etc.. I'd like to put a small collection of them together eventually. Do the trades have the variant covers inside as well for each issue?

Unfortunately they don't.  Book 1 doesn't have any extras.  Book 2 and 3 have 3-4 pages of additional art.

Thanks! Sorry, I thought I had responded. Some of the Gears covers are truly amazing looking from an art standpoint.

Did you get a chance to read this series at all? I was wondering if it was pretty good or not.

awesome, I bet it is an interesting read!

I like that the tagline bottom left illustrates what could be a considered a "melted head cover" haha, more importantly?

I've never seen a "superman's boots" illustrated quite so cowboyish, for a lack of a better term :whatthe: I guess that is superman, read to find out! ^^
