Day 39 of the Claremont X-Men read-through: X-Men #124. Bonus read: Classic X-Men #30.

I never put it together that the earliest issue of X-Men that I own is the same reprinted story as the earliest issue of Classic X-Men that I own! Maybe becauase I never really liked Arcade.

Really happy with Nova: Centurion #1! Love the setup, love the cast of characters, love the handling of Rich, and really love the expressive art, fluid storytelling, and vibrant colors!

Thank you @jedmackay.bsky.social @bakadori.bsky.social @mattiaiacono.bsky.social! Nova is in good hands!
A page from Nova: Centurion #1 showing Nova burst out of a stargate as he says, "It's going to be all right. Nova on the scene." A panel from Nova: Centurion #1 showing Pip the Troll sitting at a bar with a beverage in front of him looking very pleased with himself and trying to be the most charming thing in the universe as he says, "... That's where ol' Uncle Pip comes in."
