My Marvel Life Presents -Fabulous First Issue: X-Men 1

It was the first property that I got into when I got into collecting back in 1991 and it's the franchise that I go back to when my I go back into buying new monthly comics, when the MIGHTY Rosie put the … Continue reading My Marvel Life Presents -Fabulous First Issue: X-Men 1

My Marvel Life Presents: Fabulous First Issue – Sensational She Hulk 1
Sensational She-Hulk # 1 - January 1989 Why I picked this comic: After the more straight forward and serious minded Nova, I wanted to do something a little bit more silly. It was John Byrne at his height with a series that was chock full of witty dialogue and 4th wall breaking. If Nova was too … Continue reading My Marvel Life Presents: Fabulous First Issue – Sensational She Hulk 1
