Wow! When was this released? I'm not keeping up on much new stuff anymore.

Is this movement only on the Ultimates Redux stuff (e.g., white Ultimates covered books, or also the original black cover scheme stuff)?

All the 1st JH books have heat. If it becomes a "thing" like X-23, there are a few other books that will also get heat.

I think it might have to do with his arrival into the mainstream Marvel, in the new X-Men Blue :?
I don't know, 3 freaking Wolverines walking around and none of them is The dude- sooner or later, OML, X-23, or Hudson will be cut from the line, I think.

X-Men Gold #1 first print. Sadly, I could only get one copy.

I picked this up out of... believe it or not.... reader interest back when I was making my DCBS order for that month. I've basically all but abandoned Marvel, but this looked like a classic sort of X-Men book and wanted to give it a try, and I lucked out with this particular issue myself.

Other than trying those two new X-books though, I'm still not over Marvel's nonsense over the last few years. It'll be a long time, if ever before I really embrace their publishing line again.

I hear ya. I dropped Marvel in 2012, when NOW! arrived. I only bought 6 issues of Moon Knight by Ellis in the period between then and this month. A few months ago I'd laugh if anyone said I would be buying Marvel singles again so soon.

But this X-Men push feels like Marvel is over the Fox movie deal and they are back on putting these characters up front. I sincerely hope it is that way. I am buying Gold and picked up Lemire's last arc on Old Man Logan because of those awesome covers. :lol: I will also get Astonishing X-Men because that roster looks great.

Whoa has anyone noticed Invincible comics lately? Raws of issue one going for $3-500 bucks, we talked about this one as a slow burner for a long time, finally it's taken off after selling around $100 raw for awhile.

Probably. I'd like to do a reread to figure out the bigger story points. Issues 44 and 110 with Anissa are easy. 1st Oliver, Thragg and Conquest might be good. There are several variants and second prints that have always been or are becoming hard to find.

The gateway cover of #50 was very hard to find, and they rarely come up for sale. I wish I would have picked up a 9.8 in the last couple years, but that is out of the question now.

I bought a nice #1, #2 combo a few years ago when I started reading Invincible.

I paid "above market" at the time, but already liked these before the prices increased. :)

Nice Walker sketch!

I finally got a page of Ottley OA when he was in Orlando recently. I can die happy. If any of you really like the character, the statue is beautiful.
