Popular Post THE_BEYONDER Posted January 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2021 13/ 1000 DD 177-180 Always hated the cover to 177, which is probably why I don’t remember reading it before. DD searches out his old mentor Stick in hopes he can help restore his radar sense. This issue could have been done better, but not terrible. Powerman & Ironfist show up in 178. Again, could have been better. I did enjoy the interaction between DD & IF though. 179 & 180 started to deliver the goods again building up to 181. I was blown away by 181 when I plucked it from the stands the day it came out. Almost the whole book is burned in my brain. Look forward to revisiting it this afternoon....

If so, make sure you also read "Tick The Pseudo Edition #13," which closes out the series after many years of waiting. Talapas1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srezvan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 38 comics so far this year. Wrapped up the main AoA storyline with X-Men Omega! We are going to go back and read some of the backup stories next X-Men Chronicles and X-Universe. I started reading the original Marvel Conan run...with a twist. I'm a big Conan fan, but I've never read any of the original Marvel Conan comics. I had the pleasure of meeting Roy Thomas ~2 years ago at a show, and he was selling his new book, "Barbarian Life: A Literary Biography of Conan the Barbarian." I got it signed with a Conan head sketch. After a few pages of intro about how the series came to be, Thomas gives a 2-3 page discussion about each issue. Ever wonder why Barry Windsor was the artist? How did Marvel end up with the Conan license? All explained in the book and it's very interesting. So after I finish each issue, I am reading the corresponding entry in the book. The Conan Saga #1 magazine reprints issues #1-3 in black and white. I'll read Conan Saga #2 next, which is issues #4-6. But that's all I have. I know there are Dark Horse reprints and Marvel Omnis, but I don't know if I'm ready to drop that amount of money on the run, given how much I have to read at the moment. Maybe I'll get them at a show in the future for a good price. BTW, there is a volume 2 for Barbarian Life, which I also have. I'll get it autographed by Thomas next time I see him.

I enjoyed the idea that Thor has a sister and the reasoning behind Odinson no longer being worth. The transition to a new Thor is also well done. New tally is 93 Comics. Did I really agree to read 1,000 issues this year? WeR138, ttfitz, Savoyard23 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Savoyard23 Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 Legion of Super-Heroes (1984) 30-39, plus the crossover issues for the Superboy story, Superman 8 and Action 591. 37 and 38, I think, are the ONLY issues of that title that cost any money to speak of, but if I recall correctly I did luck out and find them both in dollar bins or close to it. Plus Marvel Team-Up 132, and Weird War Tales 5, just in from Superworld (as well as a few other books you'll see in the next installment). Up to 34.
