At least the comic books are safe while the board games got ran into.
Board games and comic book shops do not mix. If I want to buy a board game I can just go to Walmart or Toys R Us to buy a darn board game

Dunno why I have to go into novel length details about why I picked Nightstalkers for a thread like this.
Nightstalkers is a short series plus doesnt cost you thousands of dollars to complete the series and Blade Vampire Hunter is the sequel pretty much since it involves a wicked Dracula or some big bad vampire enemy.

It's still a fun issue but a bit goofy especially the weird aliens in it. Plus Collosus in the issue good Lord he's humongous like the Hulk both in human form and when he turns his body into Collosus form.

In the mail today I got Uncanny X Men #245 off of Amazon last week.
Good funny issue with some weird action. It'll be awhile before I start reading the 1980s x Men stuff since I'm busy reading the Essential Classic X Men volumes 2 and 3 right now

It still amazes me that back then in the 1960s and 1970s, the writers of the original X Men comic, they were really creative and far out there with bad guys and technology devices for the X Men. Such as Xavier using a portable thing to walk.
Then if you look at todays X Men comics and from a years ago, you would never see the same stuff used. Avengers Vs X Men it would have been nice to see Xavier use a similar device to walk while trying to deal with Pheonix Force Cyclops etc.
Even Bobby Drake in the 1960s he was pretty creative by creating ice ladders, ice/snow slides or wrhatever.

This month I bought issue 292 from the comic shop to get into some of the lesser known issues during the 1980s.
Anyone know if there's any earlier issues from the late 1970s to jump into and not into a major story arc going on?

I remember the x Men swimsuit poster magazines. The X Men males wore skimpy swimming trunks while Psylocke was hogging the whole swimsuit specials.

So even if I subscribed just the other day I won't get the issue 0, but I'd still get issue 1 later?

Well they dint have a link to their email.
Plus I subscribed to the Inhumans vs X Men and its at issue 0 right now.
Is that why it's taking so darn long because of the 0 issue?
