Man, I miss the good ol days of the Hawks!

What the heck kind of comic bag was that? We’re they only available in Canada? I’m over 50 and I collected comics like a fiend in the late 70’s and all throughout the 80’s and I used bags and boards just like you are using now. Plus John Byrne was and still is my favorite comic book artist. I remember picking up his FF run off the rack month after month. I loved them then and I still love them now.

Kevin Rudolph Let it rock

Still not a fan of John Byrne inking his own art it's still way too muddy.

you need a bigger high performance washing machine

Kitty passed out

im turned on by this shit

Hahahahaha love the title! You just saved me the frustration...I'll be going to the laundromat!

It looks like you need more water in machine.

I like to hump pillows naked.

I got a Garmin Virb (like a GoPro) camera for Christmas which I thought would be able to handle fast moving objects like pucks so they don't show up blurry as they pass by. But my shots on camera can barely be seen cuz they blur. No option to adjust shutter speed. Toews's shot right at the beginning is clear the whole way. I want that to be captured in the videos I make.

I love well done "night scenes" in comics, and especially in animation. All of those deep blues and muted tones really affect the mood of a story.

Like hippy says, collect what you love and love what you collect.

Like hippy says, collect what you love and love what you collect.

Wow it looks like you came into a bit of luck yourself

nice haul...yes, you are likely to be happier collecting what YOU love and want instead of being influenced by others' collections. Carving out your own little niche and find what you enjoy about certain artists and/or characters are the way I have approached it in the past few yearsThe Master of Kung Fu run is actually fun to read. I still have a bunch of low grade readers.

Thanks Brian! I think I did too... 101 is one I'd like to get also :) I'd sure like to see your collection at some point, and what were some of the stories behind. The best copies I have I bought from a local guy, he was able to get AMAZING copies, ultra sharp, white pages... but also a lot of $ :)

I think you scored, Mehdi. Especially with 120 & 121. Beautiful AND cheap = win. My X-men adventures on ebay have been hit or miss. I've noticed that bulk lots usually end up being very economical. On average, I ended up paying about $12.47 each for issues 95-105 because they were all in one lot. The grades varied (5.0 - 7.5), but getting a mid-grade first appearance of Phoenix for essentially $12 was an awesome deal. However, I haven't been quite as lucky since that ebay win.

let it rock by lil wayne if you still need to know

?! Why would I do any of both?!

Not bad. Okay, what do you want to do, pawn or sell?

role model yes but athlete no... you must be a detroit fan

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I'm still stunned :) It was rather unexpected.

Congratulation on your new job man! They are some really cool X-Men books!!!

I used to have them both; lost them when I was 20... :( Next on my list, though! I'd LOVE a vid on BWS...!

no doubt that 4 issues Machine Man limited series contain some amazing drawing. I need to do a vid on BWS one of these days :) Do you have the Weapon X series?

I'll take a closer look at it after work. I was so excited last night, I barely flipped through them. They all seem nice though, with firmly attached staples. Many have white pages!

Thanks man!

Thanks! REALLY excited, armed with a new attitude :)

I bet... It's with his work on Machine Man that I fell in love with him as a 11 years old. To be exposed to that type of art as a young age certainly leave a very strong impression.

yes, once you find a good "source"...keep going back as often as your wallet will allow :) All those X-men reprint from 67 to 93 is rarer in high grade because most people didn't care about them. It was an interesting strategy by Marvel to "cancel" the book but reprint it on a bi-monthly cycle to capitalize on cheap production cost (don't have to pay a creative team) as well as capitalize on the ongoing interest of reading fans as the X-man continued to make appearances in other titles

Number 53 is Barry W Smith first artwork at Marvel....When you flip thru it, have a copy of Conan and Weapon X open at the same time and you will be floor at the the progress Barry went thru from that book to Conan to Weapon X.

congrats on the new job! awesome set of X-men books. Glad you are back in the swing of buying Mehdi.

Did I mentioned talent?! Boy... I better hit the sack!

I know, I can't believe it... Thanks for the kind words! What con are you going to? Nick is truly a master collector, eh? Unbelievable talent, experience and talent...

Ahah.... Keeps happening top me... Thanks man! Can't sleep too much now... :)

My goodness Mehdi, you struck X-Men gold! Early issues in decent shape are so difficult to find at an affordable price, which I'm sure you already know. I'm going to a convention in New York this month and will be using some of Nick's comic-buying tips. Hopefully I'll walk away with a good deal. Glad to hear your luck has changed recently, hopefully it lasts.

Thanks man! Those characters are great...

I really dig the Inbetweener, Lord Kaos and Master Order! I'd like to get hold of their 1st appearances sometime. 1st Eternity..very nice!! 1st Sunfire is X-Men 64. I think that 118 was his 2nd. Not too sure. Nice bunch of books man!! Subbed!!!

Arthur adams did a couple of annual 9 and 10. plus the covers for classic x-men.

Ain't it?! :) Can't wait to have some free time this week-end to go through your vids!

First appearance of Eternity! Very cool book!

Oh yeah, what a pain...! Byrne can get very sloppy when done with a serie... Like the issue #143 of the Uncanny X-Men...

Nice find, Brian! I just looked at it, it's exactly that... This is cool :)

John Byrne started off strong on the FF but toward the end his art started to get ugly because he insisted on inking with markers and the stories started to get dull. Those last few issues where he had that long story about Reed Richard's father living in some alternate dimension was just so drawn out. I do agree that after Byrne left FF became terrible until Simonson came in.

When you were describing the plot of #261-262 it sounded vaguely familiar, even though I've never read any of these books. It took a few minutes but I eventually remembered a scene in Uncanny X-Men #167 in which Lilandra, after being informed by Gladiator that Reed had saved Galactus, warned the FF that if another living world was destroyed by Galactus then Reed would be put on trial. I love it when events in other books are acknowledged - it gives a sense of continuity in the Marvel universe.

Yeah, I love those color schemes...

Yeah, it's a mess... Thanks for watching! Join us on Facebook for more fun :)

Yes, I have them... I have an almost complete run from #199 - #400, and I can tell you Simonson was such a breeze of fresh air! After Byrne, things went really ugly and you had to be a fanatic believer to keep up with them... I don't know a lot of people who liked what Simonson did, but I totally loved it, in the true spirit of what the FF is all about!
