My collections now are slim pickings but I got a cool original, Time Machine poster with the Morlocks that I recently purchased. I was biding on Jason and the Argonauts lobby card but got outbid.

What is your best comic? How old is it and how much is it worth

My little cousin has his first girlfriend. He is 15 and they seem to have had the best date. They did more in one day then I have in years. They started at the movies, went to the mall, then found an arcade and ate, walked through the park and came home. This was after school so it was a lot.

I need to meet someone but I'm not ready to put myself out there. I am just getting into a shape and need to change a lot of myself. I want to be more knowledgeable and read more on stuff I dont care about so I can be more interesting. I want to learn to play at least one instrument and participate in one activity that doesn't drive my body into chaos.

Honestly I just dont have time to invest in someone new. I'm still going through the motions of a breakup and still just ready to move on. I want something for myself that's not sex related, my days of turning tricks are over. Chocolate icecream in bed popcorn and cake, while watching TV sounds amazing.

I've got a near mint Giant Size X-Men #1 I got in 1975 from my Dad when we were road-tripping to Minnesota, in theory worth $108,000.

I've got a near mint Amazing Spider-Man #129 (first appearance of the Punisher) worth $21,000.

I have no illusions that I'll ever get top bid on those, but I'll take what I can get.

In a few more years if I still have them I'll just give them to my nephew maybe he can get something and go to college or something.

That's cool, technically the Punisher isn't a superhero but okay let's go with it.

I wouldn't sell if I were you. Keep it till it comes back in style again. I am sure you can find some type of Hollywood consignment store but those auction places take 15% or usually more.

This was the all new X-Men, Storm - Nightcrawler - Colossus - Thunderbird - Polaris & Havok, the Second Genesis story on the island of Krakoa.

Yeah I've waited 40 odd years I can wait a few more.

Comics are packed with Anti-Heroes and Vigilantes, take Black Widow starts out as assassin ends up a heroine, Gambit - Warpath - Songbird & Rogue all started out villains and went full superhero in the end.

So you have the new character's? I wouldn't follow the comics because I am sure they are pulling out a lot of characters that never made it to the movie. They didn't really use Gambit, who I thought was a cool character! In the original Mystique was Jubilees mother. And in the movie they also messed up Storms character. But I won't get into that.

My bad Mystique was the mother of Rogue.

They didn't even use Jubilee haha

Proteus, Bishop, weren't used as well

All those characters came later.

Would have been cool though if they used Jubilee and her fireworks powers
