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.
I am a die-hard GenX Beatles fan. Live and breathe their music... But I had no company in that belief from friends/classmates in the 90s. Was actually razzed for it....
... Then they went to college and pretended to have liked them all along because now it was cool.

Like Byrne or not... His art is important comic work. Who gives a crap about curtains moving!?
If folks need to sleep at night then: "maybe Storm moved so fast that the back draft of air didn't hit the curtains yet."
But again, who cares!?
Let's stop nitpicking things that are already awesome.

Just move the #X-Men to the Great White North and boom... they're Canadian. You don't need to be "from" here to be a Canadian.

Gah... I regret that I put so many of these CBN freebies into recycling over the years and the ones I still have (aren't important) and are just roughed up long box separators.

I miss Samberg more and more every game.

Hasn't it been bad even when these Cali teams were awful? I remember Arniel losing it last year vs a Ducks/Sharks back to back. Team builder road trip needs to be elsewhere next year.

Nice book... Great story. 1st appearance of the underrated villain Nekron... I remember hunting for that one during the "Underworld Unleashed" days.

Yes. Which is of course great... But I think there's a Byrne back-up story in there.

In addition to a great cover... this is the first John Byrne work at Marvel, I believe. Nice book.

This Chronos costume design just needed a mask to be good... Like Starboy in your profile pic. It just felt unfinished without.

What a great Deodato cover... Overall I do miss "story covers" vs posing "poster pose covers" but this one is fantastic.

I have somehow never seen or come across that one... It's on the list now though! So many really good Annuals just get ignored at the back of the bins.

That's actually a lot better than I thought I decent press would be... Thanks!

What sort of press do you have? Not sure what a good option would be for a beginner repairman on a budget.

Thanks very much! I'll try that... No staining, just wavey texturing.

That is unbelievably good. Wow. Do you have any tips about flattening out larger water damage? I have a Green Lantern #76 that I picked up for cheap years ago but is a little "wavey" all over.

On one hand: This is depressing.
On the other: Major and necessary change to this #Mets team doesn't happen without the collapse being completed.
No clutch... McNeil, Nimmo, Baty, Vientos, Mullins, Marte, Alvarez, 3/5 of the pitchers. Maybe even Pete! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It amazes me every year that baseball plays a 162 game schedule and so much STILL comes down to the last weekend.
How is that possible?
THIS is why an unnecessary and avoidance loss in June makes me so damn mad... Probably goes without saying that I'm a #Mets and #BlueJays fan.

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.
