I think I'm starting my mid-life crisis. One of my biggest regrets in life is trading my collection of X-Men/X-Factor/New Mutants (including 1st appearance of Dead Pool) for a binder full of baseball cards. It was the early 90's, the cards looked like a steal of a deal (Canseco/Griffey Jr/ Sosa/ McGwire rookie cards, among others) and although neither the comics or cards are worth much today, I miss my comics.

I ended up buying black and white omnibus type books to try and recreate my X-Men collection, I think I started around issue 206 and ended in the early 300's. But it just isn't the same. I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and subscribed to the X-Men/X-Force/Fallen Angels.

I credit this thread and Finger Cookin's post on how the New X-Men universe is shaping up. Unfortunately, I was late to the party on Powers of X and House of X, apparently issues 1 and 2 are already difficult to find, so I'm hoping an omnibus shows up for those in the near future. I'll probably have to hold off on reading my new subscription until I get caught up on House/Powers. I guess there is another series called Dawn of X, which will also kickstart a new Wolverine series. I may be in over my head already lol.

Anywho, that's my cool starry bra.

edit: I failed to mention that I ordered this as well back in August, but I still haven't received it, currently fighting with them and PayPal for a refund =(
