don't forget the gen 13 vol1 variant!

Should I mention that I'm looking for all 13 books now?

WORLDS COLLIDE by Milestone

It was "a create your own cover" with stickers to put characters on the cover in any why you like. But unlike the lame Superman vs. Lobo sticker cover this has all the Superman "Family" characters and Milestone characters in combat poses complete with sound effects and both DC and Milestone style cursing . Good for hours of fun creating your own epic fight scenes and/or putting the characters compromising looking positions

Plus the story inside is decent too
I love that book ... I think there was another Superman book done the same way.

Yep I mentioned it in my post and called it the "lame Superman vs. Lobo sticker cover" but you can call it Superman Man of Steel 30 if you want

I liked the Wolverine 50 die cut cover that looked liked claws had sliced it.

Yeah, I know its not valuable, but its still cool!

1: Superman #75 (friggin' cool!)
2: Silver Surfer #50
3: Ghost Rider #15
4: Silver Surfer #75 (Very beautiful foil)
5. X-Men #1 (put all five together to get the full picture)

Least favorites of all time:

1. X-Men #300 (uninteresting hologram background on a very poorly drawn cover warrants a $3.95 price tag?!)
2. Robin II - all issues (too many variant covers to reasonably purchase, and the holograms were just stupid)
3. Spider-Man #1 polybagged versions (okay, so it's in a bag...)
4. X-Cutioner's Song - all parts (Buying two copies of each part of a major crossover so that you can read them is NOT cool)
5. Valiant Incentives (I still think it's absurd to pay big cash for the same darn issue with a gold foil logo. It's the same comic and the same printing, after all)
