X-men comic question

[Shitface]

Hey, in the older comics. Did the Original Nightcrawler use a sword?

I believe I've seen him using a fencing sword in the cover of a comic once.

i know of a scary man that uses the same bus as i do...he reads nothing but Marvel comics everyday!

plus we have an import comic/anime shop in my city (well not MY city, but you know what I mean 😉...)

Do anyone know where i can go to get a good summary of what has happen in marvel comics. I stopped reading them long ago and now want to catch up. I left x-men right about the time Onslaught started beating everyone up.

die-hard/hardcore marvel comic fansites?

or newsgroups.

Try those cheap MARVEL COMICS THE ESSENTIAL X-MEN they are b&w starting from issue one and have 20+ comics inside. Each one costs $14.50

Ok, now I think it may have been on one of his Marvel cards (Series II if I'm not mistaken) that I used to collect when I was young.

I gave my complete sets of the regular cards of series I, II, and III to my friend for his birthday , but I kept the hologram cards. 😀

 

[joe81]

i have them all even the hologram of venom vs spiderman when i got it it was worth about 50 now i dont know how much it's worth.

 

[VertigoXX]

That series IV Spidey vs. Venom holigram? It was worth $80 when I managed to get it. Now it's worth about $4 if you're lucky.

:flamethrower:

I stopped buying comics regularly (well X-Men, etc) around 1995, it seemed the companies had started to milk all their franchises to the extreme, with 10 covers for even normal issues, and the whole alternate x-men dimension/parallel universe thread put me right off.

My favourite US comics are from the 80s or early 90s, they sure do take me back.

I also only saw Nightcrawler with a fencing sword once or twice (maybe in x-calibur), but my memory is very hazy.

Secret Wars was the s#it.

Next came Infinity Gauntlet, then Infinity War, and finally Infinity Crusade. I stopped after Infinity War. What did you think of the Infinity saga?

 

[joe81]

i want to sell off all my comics i have a bunch of wolverine comics signed by the artist also some spiderman comics signed by the same artist(i would go to comic shows LOL)

 

[cypher-s]

I'm guessing Infinity Saga was the first alternate dimension one (sorry my memory is failing me lately), with the Wolverine with one hand? I bought the round of all the titles with that cross-over and then bought no more, so I can't really give an honest opinion. I didn't like some of the art, and the way they were imitating a manga-ish look that that was more cartoony looking to me.

I looked and I do have some comics from later on I think, although they could be from before - some of the Legion Quest titles.

Nowadays when I have the cash I will most likely buy some 80s/early 90s stuff, and some graphic novels.

My favourite art has to be by people like Brian Bolland, George Perez, etc , my fave X-Men books were definitely the Dark Phoenix saga. I wouldn't mind getting the Fist of the North Star and Crying Freeman novels too because along with Akira they had some of my favourite art also.

I used to buy the UK Transformers comics too, I loved Transformers and I'll always appreciate my mum buying me my comics because she wasn't rich or well off (import comics cost a lot here), but they helped improve my reading skills. My sneaky, evil older cousin ripped me off for a lot of my comics though, as a kid <_< .
