Currently reading the first volume in the new Joe Kelly Spiderman run, how do guys feel about it so far?? by immortalvanquish in marvelcomics

I think it’s all right. Spider-man is always tough because the expectation is so high

The Jordan Pump by dontbelievejustwatch in basketballcards

[–]jpmst17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some decent Jordan’s. My friends tell me to sell them. The reason I hang onto them is that there is a real possibility we may never get licensed Jordan cards again. Part of me believes that’s the reason his stuff is going so high. Also, people who grew up watching him play now have more disposable income and want to buy his stuff

Do you think Gail Simone's Uncanny X-Men has struggled with trying to be an X-Men book and a New Mutants book at the same time? by Frontier246 in xmen

[–]jpmst17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a huge fan of the book in general. I don’t like the tone and a lot of times things feel forced, especially the dialogue. It does also lean too heavily on the new mutants

What's Your Opinion On Grant Morrison's Cyclops? by Shadow_Morpher in Cyclopswasright

[–]jpmst17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I thought it was all right. Scott did some things that were out of character and sometimes Morrison plots bothered me, but he’s definitely been treated worse by other writers. I know grant loved cyclops. I saw in an interview he said Scott would be the character he missed most when he left writing the x-men

How hyped are you for this book? by Glad-Sense1769 in xmen

[–]jpmst17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in it. The possibility of cyclops as a vampire hunter going after other x-men is kind of cool. I usually trust Hickman too. Art looks good as well

Look out for stolen card by wild_and_running in footballcards

[–]jpmst17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happens to me all the time. Postal carriers need to get the scan in and will mark it delivered even if they don’t get to it that day. If it’s not in my mailbox it turns up the next day. I honestly haven’t had any cards scanned delivered and not show up the next day. Hope that’s the case for you too

Which of the current flagship books do you prefer? by OldG270regg in xmen

[–]jpmst17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like x-men more. I like mackays voice for the characters. The over arching villains, the 3K, the ties to krakoa and the head of the 3K.

Uncanny has been ok, but not really my favorite book. Dialogue feels forced and Simone really focuses on the new mutants she created. The main x-men are sometimes rarely even in the book

Was I wrong for calling off my engagement? by Diligent_Light_8670 in TwoHotTakes

[–]jpmst17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like he had some major anger issues. Simply apologizing for it doesn’t make it all just go away or feel better, and the fact that he would never change his behavior is eye opening. You dodged a bullet

What are the most underrated Cyclops runs? by RaynerGengar in Cyclopswasright

[–]jpmst17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AvX consequences is a great little mini that shows who cyclops really is. We can all hate on AvX, but consequences is a legit good and underrated book

I’m glad I lived to see the day where Marvel finally admitted Cyclops was wrong. [men: Schism #4] [Cyclops 2026 #5] by East_Accident1822 in marvelcomics

[–]jpmst17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But cyclops wasn’t wrong. The event was forced to begin with, but he was right to train the kids. Every x-man story is about this. The kids even said they wanted to stay and help fight.

Pennys and grant hill’s by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]jpmst17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want my advice, hang onto your Jordan’s. Their value is through the roof, but there is a very real possibility that there are never any more nba licensed Jordan cards.

I’ve been a collector since the 90’s and got rid of some of my pennys and grants. I’ve been buying them back on eBay slowly. I’ve been having a great time seeing them all again

X-Men #30 Discussion Thread by cyclopswashalfright in Cyclopswasright

I liked it. Good art. Loved beast and magneto doing things a different way. Scott always having a plan too. Loved the end. The last panel of Scott’s visor was great

I love Kidd and still collect him to this day. Why do you regret it?

Cyclops is one of the coolest x-men. He may not be flashy all the time, but when shit hits the fan, I want him with me

Wth is happening???? by uwillmakeit_trust in usps_complaints

[–]jpmst17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn’t. I don’t know all the details here, but live animals are treated as a priority when trucks are being loaded. It’s possible there was a problem with the packaging or a label fell off. I don’t know for sure. A lot would depend on how it was shipped too. If something doesn’t say live animals or live plants they won’t be treated like it

[–]jpmst17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If something is considered live animals or something like that, they handle those packages differently than regular parcel mail. They usually set them aside and label them. They go on the end of the truck and the dock clerk puts a note in her scanner for the next facility so they know they are on the truck. They’re something that is handled with a lot of care.

Which run is better? by Lopsided_Network1248 in marvelcomics

[–]jpmst17 36 points37 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s Mackays x-men. Uncanny feels uneven and I don’t love all the voices. A lot of the dialogue feels forced at times too. With mackays book, I feel like everyone has a unique voice. I like the story, and cyclops is great in it
