He is one of the good artist out there. I bet his All Star Batman & Robin is selling due to his and Frank Miller's name.

And the nice Black Canary plus Catwoman drawings. LOL.

Jim Lee's groundbreaking artwork in X-Men. Best issue to buy Uncanny X-Men # 256-258 (transformation of Psylocke), # 268 (Wolverine, Capt America, Black Widow and Psylocke all in a book), # 273-277 (all X-Men in one uniform look), X-Men # 1 - 11 ( X-Men new Adventures and the departure of Chris Claremont).

My Ultimate X-Men run begins with Psylocke re-introduced in Ultimate X-Men and she is Bishop's future wife???

X-Men : 2nd Series, you can get the 1st 7 issues on TPBK under X-Men : Mutant Genesis. Story comprised of :-

# 1 - 3 : vs Magneto, X-Men Blue vs X-Men Gold, vs Acolyte
# 4 - 7 : vs The Hand, Omega Red & Psylocke

All artwords by Jim Lee & Inker Scott Williams. Good for collection sake.

The only problem with Psylocke is the person who writes about the transformation resigned from X-Men. So the actual account of the why is lost in translation until you get Crimson Dawn, Revanche, etc. Though Chris Claremont come back, I think the damage is too much to really make sense of Psylocke's transformation.

The debate over Psylocke to get back into British body and Asian body kinda fizzles out. Since Psylocke in her oriental form more recognisable, Psylocke remains that even in Ultimate.

I know a thing or two about X-Men. Been collecting for a while now.

Cover by JOHN CASSADAY
Where were you when Captain America died? Perhaps you were listening to the radio or reading the morning paper. Maybe you were surfing the web or on the phone with a friend. You were probably shocked, most likely thinking, "How could they? How could this happen to Cap?" And for a moment, you perhaps thought about all the ways the super soldier meant something to you. Something very real, very abiding. FALLEN SON: DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA follows the reaction of the legendary heroes' best friends and closest comrades as they struggle to work through the emotions stirred by the loss of their ally, and the stages of grief that make them confront the part they may have played in that loss. Wolverine. The Avengers. Hawkeye. Spider-Man. Iron Man. All have their own sense of loss, their own levels of grieving. This is their story. This is Cap's story. This is our story. The story of a Fallen Son and the world he helped make a better place.

Marvel once again poses the question, "What If...?" What if Annihilus had not been defeated in the outskirts of our galaxy, and instead had brought his devastating alien armada to Earth? What if Iron Man had lost the Civil War? What If Captain America led all the heroes against the Superhuman Registration Act and Henry Gyrich became head of S.H.I.E.L.D. to take them down? What if the Hulk had landed on a peaceful planet, as the Marvel heroes had intended when they exiled him into space? Or Banner had landed on Sakaar instead of the Hulk? Or the Hulk's warrior bride, Caiera the Oldstrong, had come to Earth seeking vengeance instead of her husband? What if Vulcan had become Phoenix? And finally, what if Spider-Man and Wolverine became the most efficient two-man killing team in the world? Collecting WHAT IF? ANNIHILATION, CIVIL WAR, PLANET HULK, X-MEN and SPIDER-MAN VS.

thanaezra, you must be collecting the direct edition comics. same here with me.

For those who likes X-Men, you should get X-Men Messiah Complex HC, X-Men : Supernova and X-Men : Marauders. Writer is Mike Carey, great stuff too.

You can start with Uncanny X-Men Omnibus. Collecting Giant Sized X-men # 1, # 94 - 131. I think you might be able to get it at comicmart @ RM340-00. Priceless ! I dunno about Omnibus Vol. 2, I will get it if it is out in the future.

For cheaper version, get Essential X-Men now is up to Vol. 8 for those keen on Uncanny X-Men earlier exploits. But beware, Essential is Black & White.

I think thanezra, it should be X-Men replaced by X-Men Legacy.

Astonishing X-Men will get a new writer and artist when the series is wrapped up by Josh Whendon and John Cassady.

thewayiam, hehe.. don't like old drawings - eh? considering the fact, X-Men gonna hits # 500, of course the Trades is a lot. If you like good art, there is a lot that can be recommended.

On sale in my garage sales @ Buffy # 1 - 3. Interested?

Replied your PM. How is your take on Ultimate Vol. 3 ?

Welcome back !!!

Hope you stick around longer this time.

You can have options to subscribe purchase. If everyone retires, all comic shops is gonna go bust. No wonder The Mind Shop shrinks to 1 shop only.

There are other titles you can get yourself to rekindle.

Bwahahahaha.. Just finished my final assignment, phewww!!!!

So what do I missed ???

Location :-

The Mind Shop
F33, 1st Floor, Centrepoint Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya
47800 Selangor, Malaysia

Tel: 03-7729 8246

Got lots of back issue for sales.

No problem. Anyone interested in DC's Countdown??? Gonna sell it once the series is completed.

Complaints of Countdown is that the series is slow-paced since they compare against the 52-series.

The story just picked up half-way thru the series. Thinking of disposing it to purchase something else.

Well, it is just the part of my collections. I got Image Titles, Crusade, Dark Horse, etc.

Be proud of your collections, if you don't want it - either sell it slightly below costs or just give it to friends.

Don't sell it to scraps!!

Urmmm. so far.. No.

must be the explosion of Image Comics era ! Jim Lee, Todd MacFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Whilce Portacio, Jim Valentino, Marc Silvestri and Erik Larssen. Multiple covers plus special cover for special occasion to boost sales.

Of course it is not confined to Image but all other companies once they found out they can sell more of the same issue with multiple covers.

Alas, it is what we called superficial thing that best kept secret and forgotten.

Wow.. That is Uncanny X-Men # 258, it is a classic issue. Sighs !!!

Anyway if you are interested, I can get that issue for you.

Happy Chinese New Year !!!!!
