Though I collects Japanese Comics - Silent Mobius, Mobius Kline by Kia Asamiya.

Then also Street Fighter (American Version - check out my sales thread), Darkstalkers - Udon Comics.

Checked out with The Mind Shop for pre-order???

Anyway X-Men (1991) released in Mutant Genesis collecting the first 7 issues by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee.

# 1 - 3 vs Magneto

As for the others, not collected. I think I have several issues of subsequent X-Men # 14 and beyond. Interested?

im interested in collecting the whole episodes of the new 'x-men'.till which episodes do u have for the x-men eric?
*
That I really need to dig.. last bottom box. Hehe..

Too bad I don't have all first 11. There is 5 covers for # 1 (a) - (e) which (e) collects all first 4 covers.

For # 1 - 7, recommends that you get X-Men : Mutant Genesis. For # 8 onwards, check out www.idreamsilver.com or maybe order thru milehighcomics.com.

Hope that X-Men Omnibus collecting first 50 issues, LOL but it will remain as a dream.

You get the single issue earlier because TPBKs and HCs is a compiled version.

It is just that not every single issue is going to be compiled. Just those big 'event' story or just good story is going to be compiled eg. World War Hulk, Messiah CompleX, etc.

Hence your risk in waiting for compilation.

Awww.. you would miss the excitement of getting your monthly books and talking to other fans.

No offense, but purchasing thru online and from the Bookshop kinda kills the excitement a bit.

Of course we can still put it up in forum provided if everyone just blab.. away.

X-Titles, you need to collect just a few not all.

Notable titles : X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, X-Force.

Ultimate Series takes the heroes and heroines into the present time circa 2000's and showing what if.. Spider-Man faces today's scenario as compare to full of history and ongoing conflicts of existing Spider-Man.

As for Ultimate Spider-Man, it comes with full praises. The same with Ultimates, Ultimates 2.

The cheapest comic I bought is RM2-50 for Uncanny X-Men # 248. Now Uncanny X-Men is closing into # 500.

The casts : Rogue, Storm, Psylocke, Colossus, Havok and Wolverine. Polaris is being possessed by Malice and joined Marauders. X-Factor consists of original 5's.

Now : Multiple X-Titles, Prof X is not actually so clean. Jean Grey is still dead! Emma Frost is Cyclops' girl ? That is changes.

Maybe the local comic shop should seek a weekly column and web-space to promote Comics or else being risked to die of slow death.

The initial feedback and review of Secret Invasion is positive, hence should be a 'HIT' for 2008.

Haha.. Nope, if you have purchased some comics from me, you would know that I resides in Penang.

I find that Kino's service is excellent. 1 example, I kinda purchased New Avengers HC Vol 1 about 3 months back and just noticed there is few missing pages. I emailed my complain on Sunday and they replied immediately with assurance of exchanging the item via courier on Monday. Now that is a good service. BTW no need to go to shop to buy, save fuel and parking charges. LOL.

Anyway still purchase comics from LCS to keep it going.
