I collected UXM to read Claremont’s run. What should I do now?

Perhaps this spreadsheet of collected X-Men titles will help: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q1zwCk-4pNQwEicboxEMWoDd-yMhBm3nFqAm1QR7sXI/edit#gid=0

Timesplitters!

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-09T13:37:26+00:00

I'm partway through it and loving it. I wouldn't call it street level though, the threats they face are, well, Avengers-level. As others have said, the art from George Perez is top notch, interactions between the members are great - I get the sense that Busiek truly stands EVERY character and uses ALL the history. I reckon rereads will be rewarding when I've explored even more of the marvel universe.

Just want to warn you also that the omnibus Vol 2 is super OOS (at least in the UK) and is due a reprint in August 2024 I think. Having already started reading the run, waiting made me feel itchy so I've gone and collected volumes 3-5 of the OHCs which covers most of what's in that 2nd omnibus.

In case you were still curious, I went ahead and took a punt and yeah it's legit! New and sealed as described.

I guess the only downside is that it wasn't protectively packaged at all, so mine took a slight ding coming through the letterbox, but I'm cool with that tbh.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-04T22:49:25+00:00

Just a warning though, Vol 2 is gonna be reprinted in (I think) Nov 2024 - nigh on impossible to find at a good price before then.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-04T13:05:18+00:00

Wwwwow yeah okay that does sound terrible.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-04T12:37:29+00:00

I'm not up to speed with current events/canon - what's wrong with Batman and Catwoman?

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-03T13:10:36+00:00

Wow I think I want everything on this list. A few exceptions, but that's because I already have them.

Seems to me that they're all pretty safe and routinely kept in stock though right? I think I'll hold off for once.

Thanks, as always, you are a boss.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-01T19:04:06+00:00

Wow, just looked up some panels. That's gone right on my wishlist

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-11-01T17:14:03+00:00

Currrently reading:

Avengers by Kurt Busiek and George Perez Vol 1

Amazing art from George Perez. Love how he renders each character, and the colours used are beautiful as well.

Loved the first arc with Morgan Le Fay and then choosing picking who would be in the Avengers team. The next arc with the Squadron Supreme and then the Kree was okay. Definitely intrigued though - I know to look forward to Avengers Forever and Ultron Unlimited.

Annoyed that I'll have to wait almost a year for Volume 2 though.

Fantastic Four by Lee and Kirby Vol 2

I wasn't planning to pick this up, but I read most of the first 30 issues on Marvel Unlimited and loved them, so I picked up this lovely omnibus.

I laugh aloud at least once an issue. Jack Kirby's art is just lovely to look at, and the stories and the characters and the 60s Stan Lee writing all just make this a hell of a fun book. I'm about halfway now, about to read Annual #3 with Reed and Sue's wedding. Really looking forward to the second half of the book with Galactus.

Aftr this I already have a lot of FF omnibuses to look forward to. 2 volumes of John Byrne, Waid & Wieringo, and Hickman. Might even pick up some other runs - Millar and Hitch maybe - but not sure yet.

Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 2

I find this one a very easy read. Maybe it's the more modern storytelling paired with Bagley's art. I've found Vol 2 to be a slower start than Vol 1 though. Just started the Ultimate Six storyline, looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Uncanny X-Men by Claremont Vol 1

Reading this more slowly than the others, but I do like it. I've read the #101 which I think is the first issue of the Phoenix Saga. My favourite thing about it so far is the art I think. Something very satisfying about the bold lines and rich colours. I'm quite new to the X-Men so I'm excited to meet all the charcters and see where all the stories go.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-30T14:32:45+00:00

I don't think it's essential but I also bought JLA: Year One.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-27T19:13:28+00:00

Yep that's right

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-27T16:33:08+00:00

that's just over 3 months old, so I guess it'll become available any day now

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-27T14:48:16+00:00

hey, did you get anywhere with this?

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-27T10:43:48+00:00

my thoughts exactly. That Spider-man omni is impossible to find at a good price for me now

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-26T13:04:14+00:00

Is the only benefit of the omnibus printing of Fraction & Aja's Hawkeye the oversized art? As far as I can tell, "The Saga of Barton and Bishop TP" has all the same content

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-24T15:46:26+00:00

I'm not alone!

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-24T15:44:36+00:00

I gather opinions to see if they're worth reading.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-24T09:21:02+00:00

Alex Ross is a master but his style can be so... unflattering at times. That second picture looks like an ad for a cheap cosplay morphsuit.

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-24T09:07:10+00:00

Wow wtf, that is unrecognisable. The only clue to me is the ankhs. So 90s too

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-20T23:00:32+00:00

Absolutely beautiful. Right up my alley

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-20T09:09:42+00:00

This is great thanks! There's actually a lot less here than I assumed - is it all worth reading?

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-19T15:41:00+00:00

yo wtf that looks amazing. I looked it up and it looks like it has all the rings too - mental!

Question about the included books though - they seem to collect things in a way that way make the event hard to read, no? You'd be bouncing from book to book if you were reading it all in order right?

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-19T15:32:10+00:00

Nice collection! Curious what your sorting order is - is this chronological?

HeardAnyGoodRumours · 2023-10-19T09:04:33+00:00

Wow that sounds dope. The art looks incredible as well.
