It makes me wonder if it "hits you" that books we bought and read as children are now considered classics ("Masterworks") by those not even alive when they were first published. I always thought those accolades were reserved for Gold and Silver Age comics, not what would later become known as Bronze Age comics! Of course I could be a cynic and say that every generation gets their comic book youth resold to them via pricey hardcovers.Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-24724470407671007212014-07-31T09:47:00.927-04:002014-07-31T09:47:00.927-04:00Hey C.K., thanks for the heads up!Hey C.K., thanks for the heads up!Jason Shayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326506125878276176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-19475594988554075142014-07-31T08:15:58.713-04:002014-07-31T08:15:58.713-04:00Amazon has the Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 9 up...<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0785191542/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a> has the Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 9 up for pre-order.Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-77411146037718301232014-07-29T22:01:34.008-04:002014-07-29T22:01:34.008-04:00Already having the Dark Horse reprints, can't ...Already having the Dark Horse reprints, can't see a reason to buy the Star Wars Omnibus.

I quit collecting X-Men after 190...just got tired of it...but loved the Paul Smith issues and have been waiting as the Masterworks series got up to it. Can't wait till the Omnibus. And the Star Wars Omni? I absolutely loved Carmine Infantino's kinetic take on the series and Archie Goodwin's fantastic expansion of the movie universe. I hope Marvel reprints Goodwin and Williamson's newspaper run as they appeared in the papers. Those were some great reads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-78299278216706398912014-07-16T09:10:03.869-04:002014-07-16T09:10:03.869-04:00Hey C.K., really looking forward to these two volu...Hey C.K., really looking forward to these two volume, although I have the Wolverine and X-Men graphic novel reprinted in ten other collections!Jason Shayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326506125878276176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-70182186328788611592014-07-16T07:04:29.120-04:002014-07-16T07:04:29.120-04:00Uncanny X-Men Vol. 9 represents my peak childhood ...Uncanny X-Men Vol. 9 represents my peak childhood interest in that particular comic; I'll have to get it out of a sense of nostalgic duty. ;)<br /><br />I have the entire Marvel Star Wars run but I only recently acquired the Jo Duffy-Cynthia Martin run. Actually, I gave up on that book after issue #87. Young me was positively depressed upon seeing the cover to SW #88. It was a "Where were you?" moment in my comic-reading youth. lolAbe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.com
