wow, didn't notice there's a comic thread here...

have been collecting some marvel comics down the years, all x-titles since before the age of apocalypse (around 94-95?). stopped for a while before picking back up the hobby about 5 years back, and now have decided to quit for good.

too expensive for a hobby, really, it's eating up my wallet, hahahaha...

now looking to sell off some of my treasures, wondering if there's any buyers around?

wow, nice to hear there are some AoA fans around...

i was previously encouraged by eric.tangps to set up a garage sales thread since i was planning to let go of my comics, haven't been able to do so until last week (i don't always return home). you may find a couple of comics of mine which featured weapon x (or wolverine in the standard timeline).

if you want to know more about x-titles, i'd recommend www.uncannyxmen.net, it has a huge library of issue summaries, and you'll be able to locate almost every x-comic books available. you'll find out more on this version of weapon x there.

anyway, it's a pity that i did not purchase the AoA: weapon x titles back then, wasn't a fan of wolverine. i think it's a good read. what to do, i was and still not a fan of wolverine...

a couple of years back marvel came up with the AoA 10th anniversary, which is quite a nice read as well, although not as great as the original AoA series.

@ghoster,

yep, that's the AoA version of cyclops alright, has always been my favourite x-character...

too bad marvel doesn't want to run a story on the battle between weapon x and cykes which resulted in one losing an eye, the other losing the hand. i was pretty dismayed when cykes got killed off in x-men omega, but apparently he's still alive, or at least that's what hinted during the AoA 10th anniversary a few years back.

were you the one who smsed me last night? if yes, please expect a late reply on wed night, i don't always stay at home, hahahaha...

wrong person then, hahaha...

actually, no they didn't. marvel did not run the story of that 'famous' battle between weapon x and cyclops, although a glimpse could be seen in the x-men chronicles (or was it? hmm, don't remember). i'm very sure the scene was drawn in at least one panel in the various issues in x-men AoA, but i need to do a revision on that.

in fact, marvel said they will not explain in detail on this battle and will not publish any stories either. so i guess that's the end of it as far as we know...

amazing spiderman and ultimate spiderman are two versions of spiderman in different realities. they're from different timelines and thus their history and storylines are slightly altered, ultimate titles are created for more recent fans who weren't able to collect the currently running titles, some which began all the way since 1960s. there is also an ultimate xmen, 60-70 over issues already if i guessed correctly.

uncanny xmen and astonishing xmen differs in team line-up of the x-teams. astonishing is a bimonthly title (once every 2 months), stories mostly revolve around cyclops, white queen, beast, wolverine, shadowcat and collossus. the line-up for uncanny xmen were havok, polaris, marvel girl, darwin, warpath and nightcrawler before the current messiah complex takes place, it messed up the line-ups a bit due to tie-ins with other titles.

personally, although a big fan of xmen, i find it a bit hard to collect the comics because there are too many x-titles introduced and for a hobby it really burnt a hole in my pocket... characters keep hopping from title to title, i find it hard to catch up if i don't follow a particular title, hahaha...

anyway, i was previously a mindshop member as well, one of the best comic shops around, caters mostly to regulars only.

RM10 membership fee? that has doubled over the last couple of years.

two years back the membership was RM5, and i tell you it's definitely worth it considering the discounts you receive.

no idea about the chinese guy, but the old lady has been there since forever, not sure if she's the owner though.

anyway, i was a member already as well back in the days when mind shop was in kl plaza, which then moved to 1 utama before finally settling down in centrepoint. back then, mindshop has about 4 branches, if i've not mistaken, and due to the inpopularity of comic collection in malaysia, they've closed down one by one, such a sad case.
