so many. i have been aging them like a fine cheese.

 

Speaking of Cheese... this is my "I think it's very underrated" book....

... nasty witty humor, and, with 7 reprints, each parodying on themselves and the 1990's variants/polybag craze, I think that is very funny too... what's not to love!!??

Strange Tales 101 seems undervalued compared to the other 1962 Marvel keys where a superhero replaced the Kirby monsters.  Came out 2 months after AF 15. First solo Torch since the Golden Age and its priced in the hundreds for a nice copy.

The entire 1968-1979 Captain Marvel title

You are a collector after my own sentiments....a solid series that, even in the early stages, despite some corniness, I enjoy a lot. Then you have Starlin coming in and of course that is the stretch everyone mentions. But yeah....that is a run that is undervalued IMO.

For classic stuff, I still think a lot of the DC horro books from the early 70s are criminally low. Everyone looooooves Golden Age horror (completely understandable) but the bronze age has some amazing art and great stories too that maybe one day will have their day in the sun.

For more modern stuff, I look at a series Nailbiter, or Low or even Descender and wonder how someone has not grabbed onto these and tried to adapt them into a show or even an animated show (Descender would look great if done in animation). Very affordable series to acquire, amazing stories that surely one day if adapted, will see an increase but because the world revolves around the TV/movie news, these books have gone underappreciated.

I agree, but I also think a lot of DC stuff in general is starting to look like a bargain. Golden Age Flash and Green Lantern, Silver Age Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern, and "cult hits" like silver/bronze Teen Titans and Doom Patrol... When you put them next to Marvels of the same timeframe, or even Batman and Superman books, you can see how low the prices actually are.

Although a little awkward to handle at times with all the fold-outs, I will say it was an entertaining book.  Not a huge fan of the art to be honest, but it worked.  Not stoked to be left with a cliffhanger though 

I did find the threats to loved ones to be a nice way to trigger Logan...

oh interesting! fair fair. I love the art, but I understand it to be subjective.

essentially, from what I understand it was meant as 'the death of sabretooth' as the series ended, to start into the weapon x, age of apocalypse, series. Then, like all comics, the characters 'live on!' to fight against each other, for another day...

So after Wolverine 90, Weapon X (AoA) takes over for 4 issues, and then Wolverine picks back up, with Sabretooth's next appearance being Wolverine 92.

From what I can remember, they show how Wolverine's claw punctured through Sabretooth's brain, which renders him docile... blah blah

But you are meant to read issue 90, as though that's the end of their conflict.

The fact that you can buy so many of the Gulacy MOKFs (and the Gene Day ones for that matter) so cheaply still amazes me. Totally undervalued. I'm glad something of true quality hasn't been hyped out of reach TBH.

Thanks.  I really just needed to know if Wolvy was committed,  and actually tried to kill Sabretooth.

Threatening Kitty was the line for me
