Enjoyed the X-Men Movies.... But Just Can't Get Into the Uncanny X-Men Comics...

Ok, as the above title says..... Enjoyed the X-Men Movies.... But Just Can't Get Into the Uncanny X-Men Comics...

I started with the earliest X-Men issues, those by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, my interest waned after Jack left, as up in Kodiak, Alaska there were only so many issues coming into the Navy Base's Navy Exchange.  I was more interested in FF, DD, Amazing Spidey and other Marvel comics once I found out about them. Even at 12 cents each, my allowance only went so far, and distribution was spotty.  Believe me, it was hard to collect Marvels back then, with their continued stories, as they had such spotty distribution !

Anyways, I just couldn't get into the X-Men, and when they went into reprints, that was it for me, I stopped even looking for them.  So  I missed out on the formation of the New X-Men, tried to read a few issues later with Claremont, but by then, it was all too convulted and complicated for me to get back into....

Even today, after picking up several issues at the SDCC, I just can't get into reading them... just grade them, price them, inventory them, and then get ready to list in the eBay store.....

... whereas, I find myself stopping to read select stories in the HoRRoR comics we purchased.... stopped to read the entire OMAC series before listing.... read the Amazing Spideys from 102 up that we just listed..... etc.

But I did find X-Men III The Last Stand a far better movie than Superman Returns!   Just can't sit down and read the Uncanny X-Men books.... just listing them in the eBay store, so take advantage of this and see if there are any issues you need to fill your collection, or just to read..... as I can't !!!      Michael
