I have, literally, a closet and two dressers full of comic books and almost all of them are X titles. I spent years trying to be the biggest nerd authority on the series. I have a couple volumes of Essential, I have a couple of X Men and the Micronauts, where in one, some of the X Men get shrunk, including Kitty and Ororo. My favorite title was Gen X so I have tons of those. I got most of my comics from yard sales in the 90's and this guy who used to come to the mall here with boxes and boxes that he sold for a buck each. If you have any you'd really like to see, I can see if I have em and scan em.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! I'm impressed... *falls down at lil1337's feet* Master Nerd Lady....show us the way...the way to perfect nerdism....*bows down* I have to confess though...I've never been much of a comicbook nerd...^^; I mean, I've read all the X-Men comics they have at all three libraries close to me...but I've never bought any... I read a lot of manga though... But when it comes to nerdiness...Videogames are muh thing...

X Men is what brought my bf and I together. Between the two of us, we don't have enough room to keep em all at the same house. I've also taken obsession to new levels and spent many years reading and compiling all of them. I don't have Secret Wars but my bf might, I'll ask. I DO have one of the issues where Colossus and Rogue are together. I used to read a lot of manga too but I've never been that into video-games besides COD. So, you beat me there.

Hey, it wasn't hard. The majority of comic book fans are guys. Just find one who doesn't mind how obsessive you can get (waiting in line for four hours to get tickets for the con, then another two to get in to see Hugh Jackman and another one waiting for his car... which I chased. And caught. Bwahaha.) My favorite is Rogue. I don't want to go to in-depth about the why or else y'all are gonna kick me off the board (which is why I'm not posting in the music thread ;D), I just think she's a rad character. God, I'm going to do some fan art now.

Nice graph. I'm totally in the blue. And by the way, it SUCKED. Did they even read Origins or did they just go, "Hey, Hugh Jackman isn't busy, let's see if he can get on screen naked and make us some money!"? Why, oh why can't anyone ever just be faithful to the original? There's a reason why it was popular. Anyway. Yeah, Storm is rad. I liked her bad-ass phase where she had the mohawk and she dressed in all leather. Rawr.

God, I'm going to do some fan art now. (just realized I never replied..=__=') ..well....Ive never been to comic con..^^'...defiantly thinking about going soon though..especially after seeing alot of artists on DA that have tables there.........lol..Im just surprised that Hugh Jackman was brave enough to go to one..youd think he'd realize that he could lose clothes, hair,....body parts...(lol) if he went......dude..car chasing?..that is some dedication..>XD lol...I never really culd pick a specific favorite......its pretty much the second team, plus Shadowcat and Rogue...and Gambit..need the New Orleans hottness..XDD....and punk Storm (dude I always sooo luved how she had the identity crisis going on..it just showd so much into her character....and the mohawk rocks..XD )..its really cool to see Wolverine's character in the earlier years.......and Rogue is pretty damn cool to....gotta say that Ive always loved her hair.....XD.........but Colossus is possibly my favorite guy....soooo hot..and he's an artist! ;D

Rawr. hehe...well...Ive never read Origins...........but Ive gotta say that I loved the movie....movie adaptations most of the time cant completely follow the original...though maybe this one culd have cause it isnt as long as most others..*shrug*...Ill have to pick up Origins soon.... ......but I am really curious if theyre gonna bring Gambit back into the movies.....cause he'd be much older than he shuld be.......though they did him really well..his fight scenes..sooooo awesome! XD...and Hugh Jackman?...heh..I havent seen a body like that outside of an actual comic...^^; again three cheers for Stroms punk rock phase!...Kitty might have had a problem with it......but her hair was awesome! XD

So sounds like another movie (like the new Star Trek) that was:
"good if you know absolutely nothing about what it's based on"

Oh, so that's why I liked Star Trek. And yes. I chased his car. And he was nice enough to stop. It was right when Van Helsing came out, so he wasn't AS popular. Still famous, but not AS famous. It was kind of a "Hey, that's him! After him!" And X Men has too many good characters to really choose one. Hell, I like em all. Except Jean Grey.

Except Jean Grey. lol...thats me too.............ur not a Jean fan?...huh..I can see why.....do u like her Phoenix phase? .........what about Scott?..when I used to only watch the cartoon, I thought that he was a tool (not my exact word then..^_^' )..after reading the comics I started to like/respect his character......oh!..kinda random question...did u like the arc when the team was captured by the Brood? for some reason thats one of my favs....between the art, Storms identity crisis, Wovlerine's parts, Binary, and the whole Colossus/Kitty relationship..I though it was really cool... b^__^d

Nah, I hate Jean. She's a tart. And I wish she would have just stayed dead the first time they killed her. Phoenix was kind of annoying too. I mean, come on, all powerful being who can destroy the universe and it picks JEAN as a host? Yeah, right! Scott is kind of a tool, whiny too. And look how he's holding his glasses in this panel XD i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/lil1337/101_0530.jpgAnyway, I found the only Essential book I have left, Volume 4. This was my favorite one anyway. Kitty and Pete were together, Kitty finds Lockheed, Storm becomes Queen of the Morlocks, gets her sweet 'hawk, Rogue joins up and goes to Japan with Wolvie and this, which I randomly found just now, sorry it's blurry. And it's Scott, instead of one of the ladies: i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/lil1337/101_0531-1.jpg
