yeah, the $40 price tag scared me off

I'm so mad I could spit.
No Cape!!!!! When did you find this out???

Chicago is looking better and better.

I get a hefty discount at my LCS, but I have to say, even with the discount it wasn't worth it. While the nostalgia of the stories are great, unfortunately they didn't age as well on the pages as they did in my mind.

Unless you're a REALLY hardcore Legion fan, I would suggest you pass on this.

Yesterday. Jim heard Richard saying that there wasn't going to be CAPE this year, but they were planning on a huge event in 2010 -- something as 'big as Wizard World' or some other crap he won't be able to deliver on.

That's why I'll try and pick it up off Amazon, eBay or one of the online comic stores when they have a sale.

That's one of the things I was afraid of. I've tried to read some of the Showcase books, but they don't hold up well in modern times.

And that Electro FS has the same lines in the arm muscles as Wolverine. Same number, same legnth, in the exact same position. There is no denying it is the same body.
