Comic Books
Related: About this forumI have been reading the X-Men comics from the very beginning. I'm on issue 147
(only 4 hundred something more to go...)
And there is a scene were Dr. Doom is fed up with Arcade and yells at him the following...
"Arcade, you aer beneath contempt. You are intellect without purpose, power without responsibility. Your only goal is your own self-gratification"
Kind of describes the orange menace, huh?

I will bite. How about Dr. Doom for President? It is preferable to Trump/Pence.

(14,856 posts)I had every issue from #94 on up, careful to keep my copies in stiff mylar sleeves to help preserve them in pristine condition.
There were issues that involved alien creatures called "The Brood," and that's when I stopped buying new issues and I sold everything to a comic book store.
Turning 16 and wanting money for a cheap car was a factor too.
Some of my teen friends were especially nutty about the "investment" aspect of it. They'd buy multiple issues of various comics because they were supposedly increasing in "value" at insane rates. That "market" crashed not too long after I got out of the game.

(25,586 posts)I'm finding myself reading a bunch of older Marvel titles as well, even though I'm a confirmed fan of the Distinguished Competition.
Now if DC pulled their heads out long enough to establish a comparable service for their catalog I'd probably never read anything else for a very long time.
