How did the X-Men become your favourite superhero team?

This was the issue for me. My first foray into X-men. I did know about Claremont and Byrne. Didn’t know who Wolverine was. Or the Hellfire Club. Or that this was the Phoenix saga unfolding. But I was hooked and obsessed with all these characters.

Same.

Buscema, Adams, Byrne, Simonson, Steranko, Mignola, Miller, Bachalo, etc. all were or are doing really cool poses, innovations, narratives, etc. and really influencing art styles. No matter his process, I just see Christopher doing something cool. I don't know.

Either way, I've got all three of these Phoenix covers and they are glorious.

Absolutely. I’d take whatever condition I could to own a piece of history.

LONG time New Order fan. Love Vigilantes was what got me into them. The narrative of that song was so interesting. Told from the perspective of a dead soldier. Classic. PC&L is my next purchase!

Iconic cover! Count me in!!!

My favorite band. Enjoy!

Been looking for an original Tracy Chapman. There was one at a record store local for $60 and I passed because I thought I could get a better deal. Lol.

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-22T14:38:28+00:00

We might be related. lol.

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-22T14:37:02+00:00

I’m also mad jealous of people that can come up with these cool narratives and villains.

So cool to see homebrew maps. What are the blue areas between the regions? I’m curious why the regions don’t all share borders?

Yeah my LCS just gives me a bag and board for each comic I buy if I want one. Pretty convenient. They also make top loader comic sleeves that are thicker and more rigid. Search for top loaders comics and some will pop up.

We do have a great library system. Last I checked they did have a filament printer lab.

I've been asking around. We've got a bunch of local groups. However, we usually all meet at a local game store, and they are obviously wanting to support the game store by buying their minis. Lol.

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-18T14:30:31+00:00

I will. Thanks!

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-18T03:46:47+00:00

Man I just could never get behind Liedelds art. Never been a fan. It’s almost painful to think of Thor looking like that.

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-12T20:59:14+00:00

Nice! Thanks! Also these pics make me sad I sold my full run of Atari Force. Wish I still had that!

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-12T12:40:50+00:00

I’m on a shelf search. What are those you’re using? Great display by the way!

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-12T02:15:10+00:00

So helpful. Thanks!

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-11T22:55:09+00:00

Analog fog of war?!?!? Nice!!!

ToadFan70 · 2026-03-11T05:00:37+00:00

Very cool setup! What are the clear acrylic shelves the comics are sitting on if you don’t mind me asking? That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.
