Learned right from wrong reading Superman comics (as we all should)... I'm a life long comic book fan and avid collector. Also a displaced Winnipeg Jets fan who is loving life with my wife and kids in the beautiful Great White North. He/Him.
Definitely not as good as your Iron Man 1... But I was VERY happy to finally find a Madman #1 for sale last week.
Actually grabbed a #2 and 3 at the same time. Madman could be a nice character to work in a streaming series or movie... A lot of untapped potential in those early 90s Indies.

This is not my actual copy... But I was so excited when I finally tracked down an X-Men #66 at a Comic show... The last new issue of the original line up deserves more love.
And it's a hero(s) vs hero cover to boot!

If you are a comic collector (new or old) and in the Ottawa/Kanata area... Do yourself a favour and stop by @haulratcomics.bsky.social ... Went for the first time today and I look forward to MANY more weekend visits for some "bin diving therapy"

This is easy!
It's the natural divider in the long box between both sections! How else would we organize such tough choices in life like choosing between Archie and Punisher boxes?

Earth 2 from #14 to 26(ish) are some of the best damn comics from this era of DC. I remember when Snyder's Justice League movie was announced, I was wondering if it would follow this story with a revived "Superman" prepping Earth for Darkseid.
Dammit! Now I have to dig out these books to re-read!

Blue Devil for sure... But only one design version makes me buy an action figure immediately.

I'm late to the party for #TopShelfFriday but this got delivered yesterday... A lost book from my collection that I've wanted back for a while. Best $40 I've spent in a while. It's beautiful.

Just arrived in the mail yesterday. Not in the greatest shape, but it's finally mine!
One of my favourite villain covers of all time... Fantastic Four 61 starring the wonderfully weird costume/armour Sandman!
Always liked him as a FF villain.
Detail and weight of the sand by Kirby is so great.

One more reclaimed from the "lost box"... West Coast Avengers vol2 #1... Red/Silver Iron Man and the Canadian newsstand variant like I originally owned. So happy to have it back in my collection... With a very minimal spinner rack crease too!
52 pages + black cover = heavy crease (usually).

Super Chief and Max Mercury???? Let's go!!!!
This is just incredible.
Reminds me of the fun we had with Rip Hunter's chalkboard in "52"! .... Not to be greedy, but a Booster Gold/ Rip Hunter "Quantum Leap" style series that ran through this DCU history would be so much fun.

Purchased this on eBay today because if we are truly getting a Supergirl/Lobo movie... I think this George Perez cover would be a very fun secondary movie poster concept!

I only had the reprint issue X-Men 79 and read it to pieces... Love that cover. Only other weirdo X-villain that I like more is the Mimic. Cobalt Man was so underused.

There's not much that brings more joy to a collector than a mystery bundle of this colour and stock of paper... There's some gold... Or potential at least.

Loved when Sabertooth showed up in a Spider-Man book.

As a kid I loved when villains showed up versus random heroes... Kinda felt the "Acts of Vengeance" event was made for me.

$2.00 pickup today as part of my #FCBD shopping.... It's not in great shape, but a classic Kirby Demon #2 for $2.00 + 20% off? ... Pretty lucky find, me thinks.

Love that cover.
I've been trying to find one of those in the wild for a very long time but no luck.
Anything that crosses the Beatles and comics is a must buy... Even this beauty!

Happy #SupermanDay and let's always remember that he's a proud Canadian product that was gifted to the States.
