Speaking of XO armors, does anyone know what happened to the XO Armor from the Magnus series? 1-A took possession of the ring when they were fighting in South Am, but when he was destroyed what happened to ring? Any ideas-anyone?

There are just certain things that need to be erased and forgotten from the Valiant U. A big one for me would be that XO's armor was destroyed.

For the record - I will buy a slabbed book, but (for the most part) only if it's at or below RAW guide price for the grade it's in. Heck, I got a NICE CGC 7.5 Uncanny X-Men #127 for around $27 SHIPPED to the house, and looking at the book in it's slab, I'd say the graders under-graded this one. I'd...

When did a Harb #1 9.8 go for higher than $850? First one on eBay went for over $1k. I also sold my Harbinger 1 CGC 9.8 for over 1K. I am glad to hear you boys made some money off of those sales, but I say its crazy because if someone bought that for the intent that the price will go up over a 50 y...

Perhaps some collectors would want them, but they weren't bagged by Valiant, and they are quarter bin material. I would say that the bag is acidic and will eat the comics anyway, but since they are commons it doesn't matter.

Leeja?
Yes, Leeja or more like Laidya. I never liked that *SQUEE* when I read the post unity, but after reading the pre-unity Leeja I don't think they stayed true to her character by making her a *SQUEE*.

My two cents.... I will never pay to have a book graded by CGC, but I don't have any golden or silver age books that are worth money. I will continue to buy and have bought gold/red/incentive valiant variants in CGC because I am guaranteed that the book is NM at 9.6, and I never plan on cracking the...

Microsft Defender works pretty well and it's free. Even though Norton is a resource intensive, it's still the best.

Marvel has been buying back a lot of their stock shares so they have to get capital from sonewhere to afford the buybacks. Perhaps, this is one reason you are seeing more ads lately.

They generally have a special of $38.95 for 16 issues. The special gets you 4 free issues. I have renewed using this twice. Considering one issue is six bucks, it's a good deal.

On Rai's energy: All that was said at the time was it was "spirit energy" and that it was transfered from a Rai to his successor with the help of Grandmother's gizmos (see Magnus 5). Yeah, retroactively it was ectotheric energy behaving in way different than any other ectotheric energy th...

His work on Bloodshot is what I like best !!! By far my MOST favorite books are the ones that he and Don Perlin worked on.

When I was a teenager I read Wizard, but as job holding adult I now read CBG. I tried reading a few Wizards but the magazine seems so juvenile now. The staff seems as if they are trying to hard to be young. While CBG is definitely written by older individuals the articles catch more of my interest a...

If you are going to keep with it ask your shop if they can work some deal for you. 52 times 2.50 = $130 plus sales tax for the issues.
