Definitely cool for those into it, but as expected I'm out on Excalibur after issue #1. Magic and King Arthur stuff is just not what I read mutant books for. I'm sure Marvel was very strategic in splitting up the popular X-Men into as many books as humanly possible but Rogue and Gambit just aren't a big draw for me. A-dog is the only part I'm sort of interested in but I'm sure this thread will keep me abreast of his comings and goings.

I did order a set of variant covers of all the #2 issues though so I guess I may as well read #2, which won't ship until the last of the set comes out.

First book I ever bought was Groo #33.

I do have that one but I think the first comic I bought when I started buying them regularly was Groo #57. So once I fell in love with the genre of "slashing a million dudes to pieces" Wolverine was my next stop, who had recently started his own title and obviously uncanny x-men he was in too. When I graduated from "local record store comic book rack" to an actual comic book shop, that's when I started grabbing 80's x-men stories. But man, those Groo issues are timeless. Which I guess is a nice way of saying Sergio hasn't changed the formula at all in 35 years, but I still love them.

I'm down to just X-Men, X-Force and Marauders, and stopped reading for a while then tried to catch up and maybe did it in the wrong order or something. Can someone explain why sometimes Pyro is in a wheelchair all sad and sometimes he's jumping around with a big black tattoo on his face?

Just ordered some Wolverine #1 variants because I want to put them up on my comic display. I liked the comic based on the radio play(podcast?) and it's got the same writer so I hope it's decent.
