Nemeroff Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 One of my SG mates won the online submission costume contest to appear in one of the comics. Just an appearance in a panel or 2, no dialog or action sequence. But still, thee winner of numerous entries. "Tiger Tank," costume designed by (I forget). IIRC the male characters in the comic accidently stumble into a female dressing room. Just a cute little casual outfit, (plaid mini skirt?) Still have all of mine but they're all mixed in with the other 500 comics. "What are dominators... Much like a spider traps a bug, wraps it up, then starts chewing on it when it's completely unable to escape or defend itself."

As others have said, the writing in the books was...well, it was words, but the bits celebrating the community where fun as heck. What do you collect? I'm about to get into mine and see if I can find the CoH comics. I'm selling all my X-Men books and trying to get them together. What's your keeper book out of the 500?

Hey, back in those days we were all trying to fight things way over level from forgotten ambushes, it's legit 😄 1 1
ForeverLaxx Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Pretty sure I have all of them as well as the two published novels. I still read them from time to time as they're not really "worth" anything. 1 exChampion and exInfinity player (Champion primarily). Current resident of the Everlasting shard.

The bulk of it all is probably Uncanny X-Men, Spiderman, Daredevil, and Punisher. IDK if I can sell mine due to condition & sentimental stuff. I started reading old Moon Knight issues, found issue#1. Liked but it was cancelled. Then they released Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, not as good but still. Then cancelled. Then restarted MK again, it was good but then I quit comics all together. 1 "What are dominators...

Ha ha ha...I get it. I say I have 2000 and that's probably an understatement. The old 1980 MK series was fun. Great art. If that's in any decent shape at all, those books are selling for a lot with the show coming out. I've drifted in and out over the years, but I still pick up random independents and others that interest me. It's a fun hobby and those raggedy old pages instantly transport me back to being a kid again. Good times! Thank you for sharing! 1
Marine X Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Yes, Somewhere.... ......but I would have to dig through all the late 70's and early 80's X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, What If?, Silver Surfer, Thor, Iron Man, Defenders, X-Factor, Wolverine, Alpha Flight, Machine Man, etc just to figure out where I put them. Should Probably just pitch all 8 boxes, lol. 1 " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

subbacultchas Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 I don't, although I think my wife kept the special edition one where some CoV characters were on the cover. She was one of the award winners back then, Graz'zt. I see them in the long boxes at work though, we still have some from each run, both Blue King and Top Cow. 1

Things to note: Synapse has small feet Sister Psyche's cleavage exposure seems to fluctuate between her appearances Manticore's got some GREAT lateral on his legs, which in themselves are rather feminine Statesmen's got kinda a Dad Bod goin' on Lord Recluse has golden accents on his helmet that dont show up elsewhere. Does he have FORMAL event HELMETS?! My word... You do need proper headwear for Ceremonial Tyranny when you are a villain. 1
bodenee Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 which reminds me... the blue king series followed Apex, War Witch and Horace... Apex and War Witch are still in game... what happened to Horace? 1

I second the call for ancient Egyptian inspired costume parts.
