Hope you guys enjoy these pics of a small portion of my collection. Most of it is in boxes right now as I just moved, so please forgive the clutter located in the background.

Like I said, just a small sampling. Hopefully in the coming weeks I'll be able to get more of my collection out and displayed.

Welcome, fyi your attachments didn't work...

It doesn't help that I just don't give a damn about the Power Pack characters, especially the selfish little sister, but I am completely lost on the X-Factor stuff. Cameron Hodge hates the mutants, but is working with demons, who then up and abandon him? WHAT?!! How does that make any sense. I also found the whole battle between Archangel and Hodge to be way too quick and Candy's death feels like a stupid gimmick. Beast is also blue and furry again, cool I guess, but it would be nice if the writers would make up their damn mind on what they want to do with him.

As for the X-Terminators issue, it wasn't terrible, but the writing is subpar. I did get a few laughs from Boom Boom and her friend though, especially when she blew up their uniforms. Nevertheless, the whole aspect of whatever the hell the demon's name is (N'Astrite or something) is what really brings this down as it feels out of place for X-Men. Sure, they have fought demons before with Belasco and the N'Gari (what is up with the creatures in this series having an N' in the name of their demons?), but it didn't seem this vexing before. Who is this demon guy and why should I care about him? Where did he come from? Why is he working with Hodge? What does he need mutant babies for? And why am I four issues into this and I still haven't had an X-Men issue??? Last negative comment for now, the art kind of sucks...

Yeah X-Inferno was an ok series, the later one of it was a lot better in terms of art as it dealt with Magik more matured. The X-Terminators I felt back then they were trying to draw in a younger crowd or something I had a few of those issues and didn't realize how crappy it was haha...Then again it was a different period in time too.

Did you read the X-Factor where Whilice Portcio is the artist? That story line wasn't too bad and the artwork is def a lot better. I have a bunch of those comics.
