Wow. You're right. There's nothing...+JMJ+ <br /><br />Wow. You're right. There's nothing very <i>X</i>-ish about them here. I guess their unique selling point as superheroes evolved just as much as their genes did! <br /><br />I usually start reading comics after the characters have been well established and rarely hunt down rare issues, but I like that you're looking at the early nuances.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-63275923301891991612011-07-26T14:03:11.869-05:002011-07-26T14:03:11.869-05:00Yeah, I've got that CD.

Unfortunately, Marvel decided not to renew the license (in favor of their own Digital Library?) and they went out of print rather suddenly. They're worth tracking down if you like the titles, but I'm also finding a subscription to the Digital Library to be NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-35533439764634082032011-07-25T14:42:02.663-05:002011-07-25T14:42:02.663-05:00I know there's a digital collection on CD that...I know there's a digital collection on CD that collects the majority of these older issues that I'd like to get my hands on eventually, but I'm not expecting much until Claremont shows up.therealphoenixanewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728133971705657561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-3764937684543417932011-07-25T14:30:16.052-05:002011-07-25T14:30:16.052-05:00Yeah, most of the first issues from the Marvel Age...Yeah, most of the first issues from the Marvel Age are fun and occasionally clever, but feel a little thin. It usually took Stan and Kirby/Ditko a few issues to really sort out who the characters are and what the heart of their concept is.
