Endless Mike posted:Thanks for this thread! I have a lot of memories of Wizard, and they probably mirror yours pretty closely, though I didn't have anywhere near this collection. Since I'm not doing anything, I've decided I'm going to do a thing along with this: Haha, I was doing this too. There's definitely some books that I see that I know still have value (X-Men 266 is still a great pick) but others where I was looking at it like "does anyone still care about this?" and turns out most of the time, NOPE! This is an awesome thread full of awesome memories.

After straight dominating the top 10, this month is the first where Marvel doesn't have a single issue in it and the only way they got in there the prior month was because Ren and Stimpy. Also Ken Lashley is a good dude in general and if he's at a con near you, he's always worth saying hi to. I really like the tenuous reasons they recommend some of the "Comics to watch." Just absolute pump and dump level poo poo.

X-O posted:I think #18 was the first issue with no Marvel in the Top 10. It was the first one I noticed. And I can't be bothered to go look at the previous 17 before I hit the submit reply button so I must be right. Issue 17 was still riding the Morbin high which also means issue 18 was all Morb'd up even if it wasn't listed because it's always morbin' time.

Looking at it all at once rather than month by month, it's really amazing how quickly valiant went from "you need to buy every book from this publisher!!!" to "who?" I understand that's also the era but jeez, wild how much they dominated the top 10 for like a whole year. Definitely not other problems worth looking into there, no siree.

Ashcans have two meanings. Either it can be a small comic to establish trademarks (like you have an idea for a name but not much more so you come up with a crappy quickbook so no one else can use the title "Exciting Stories" starring "Original Character DO NOT STEAL"). This was more common in like the 1930s when there was basically an comic explosion and everyone was trying to make a book. The other usage of the term started in the 90s and is used to denote basically a prototype book that's done in a low print run. The quality of it can vary based on the publisher but they were used a lot to send to retailers as a preview book to generate interest. I'd be interested in the article too but that's my understand of what an ashcan is.

Endless Mike posted:It's for Age of Apocalypse. I assure you the reality of the crossover doesn't look like that. The Generation Next books were had Bachalo on art so they were good but yeah, most of the other stuff is extremely 90s and nowhere near as good looking as that ad.
