You would think! Unfortunately, and sadly, that just isn't the case. Mind you, I imagine you probably don't know the names of the viners and you-tubers that are all the rage with teens these days (neither do I). I looked like a dinosaur earlier today asking what a viner is and who the heck Cameron Dallas was... lol.

Except that I'm not a fan of the vine app or follower of viners or Cameron Dallas, though I do know who he is. If this other person is a collector (presumably a fan and/or follower) in the comic book industry, how could he not know of Jack Kirby who is one of the handful of people responsible for why this hobby is so fun and exciting.

I had to look it up. Never been on vine.

Cameron Alexander Dallas is an American Internet personality best known for his prominence on the video application Vine. Dallas later went on to star in movies such as Expelled and The Outfield.

Has anyone read any of that X-men Legacy (Legion) stuff? I wasn't really interested but watched the 1st episode and it has gotten my attention.

I'm also new to omnibus collecting (last year or so) and I'm surprised how few of these books get printed. I guess I just assumed they were treated like a regular book and if they sell out - they would just make more. Sigh... looks like I'll have to get caught up in pre-order hysteria with another hobby

It's a decent finite story. They do a good job of touching on his past with the X-Men and Xavier. It managed to stay mostly separated from the other X books. It's hard to say how much weirdness from that story will be brought into the TV show, although the pilot did a good job of showing that the character is a victim of his own powers.
