Getting to the end of Counter X. Never read these X-Man issues before. It's essentially an X-Man team-up with the Authority and a nun with visions.

Back to the Bendis run. Took a break after Siege. The Heroic Age stories aren't as focussed, as the book is no longer driving the universe, but some of the individual arcs are fantastic and a lot of fun. I'm skipping Fear Itself itself for now as I will get to it on a Thor reread at some point.

Back to my 2000's Avengers reading this afternoon. Time for Slott's Mighty Avengers run, with Hank Pym leading as the Wasp. This team lasted between Secret Invasion and Siege.

Actually selling stuff. At Golden Orbit market in Sacha's, Manchester until 4pm.

Lazy Saturday reading, last year's Blood Hunt. Such a fun crossover and it holds up on a reread. I love Brielle, so it's fantastic to see her standing next to Carol fighting back. Also, the only time I've enjoyed that Dracula redesign. (I much prefer Gene Colan's version).

Wasn't 616 Manchester overrun with vampires last time we saw it?

And activate Summer!

Now on to Claremont's return to the #XMen. Reading my original copies from Spain released March to May 2001. I was 17 and also buying a weekly collection of comic volumes that reprinted the original Claremont run, which was released at the same time as the first film. That's a lot of words to read!

Exiles before #Exiles? This is from #XMen Unlimited 27. The back had unused art including this piece by then X-Man artist Mike S Miller showcasing #ageofapocalypse Blink & Morph having survived and joining Nate. Less than a year later that Blink and a slightly different Morph would form the Exiles.

I'm looking back on July's marvel comics I picked up and deciding what stays on the pull list, what I'll sell and what I'll keep...

This has a few of my fave indie titles. #MinorArcana is building pace and I'm in now. #AssortedCrisisEvents just stay with you. All four issues have been incredible. And welcome back #Lazarus, you've been missed. I wish the world you were coming back to wasn't so familiar to you.

Both. 😍😍😍

So, which female member of the DS9 cast were you obsessed with as a child and did you grow up to be into gender fuckery, anti-fascism, or both?

Despite no longer being distributed in the UK, OK Comics continues to stock @madcavestudios.com and @twomorrows.bsky.social stuff.

Here we go the end of my Bendis Avengers reread for now. #Siege. It's been so much fun. Really applaud Bendis character work with Luke, Jessica, Carol, Jess even Clint and Bobbi. Also, surprisingly, I'm thoroughly enjoying his Ares and Victoria Hand. And the art. Murderer's Row of talent.

We are at #SecretInvasion. Just reading the main series, both Avengers tie ins and the Thunderbolts ones. There's so much if we include the whole event 😂😂🥹

How's my #BendisAvengers reread going you say? Well I remembered how much I fancy Ares. The God of War. 😂 In all seriousness, past Civil War and it is different books with tweaked teams but the themes continue, and the banter definitely continues. I'd forgotten about the 💭 experiment in Mighty.

Comics delayed until tomorrow, possibly Friday due to bank holiday in the UK. Will avoid scrolling for the next few days!

Got to Civil War in my #BendisAvengers reread. It's been years since I've last read any of the crossover. I was thinking of skipping the crossover as it's not Bendis written, but it drives too much or the narrative to skip. I need to do a post on the first 20 issue of New Avengers at some point....

Decided to showcase some of the floppies...

And then we get this in #BendisAvengers. An absolute love letter to the original Avenger run. Definitely not expected after Disassembled. The Bendis trademark dialogue is on full display here and it works.

Another Prelude now to #BendisAvengers, Avengers 500 to 503. I really didn't like this when it came out. I'm a big Wanda and Janet fan, and they both do not come out of this well...

Doing a #BendisAvengers reread. Let's see how far I get! My attention span isn't great these days 😂 I decided to start with Pulse #1-#5, Bendis's first take on Norman Osborn, and his bringing his Jessica Jones and Luke Cage story to the main Marvel Universe.

I didn't pick up All-New Venom when it first came out, not generally a symbiote fan. But on hearing about the reveal I went back as I LOVE the idea of Al Ewing writing the current host. *Spoilers from here*

Hi folks, selling some comic collections including a complete set of Die, Planet Hulk, Rare Flavours and #AbsoluteBatman and #AbsoluteSuperman #1. More to come over coming days. www.ebay.co.uk/usr/domixt

This. Omega just ends the universe so darn well.

Austin Gorton@austingorton.bsky.social · last yr.

#37 - X-Men Omega #1 should have been the last appearance of Age of Apocalypse outside of stories set in its past. Making it just a run of the mill alt reality is contrary to its whole deal.

New comic book read! Fantastic Four vol 7 issue 30 by Ryan North, Cory Smith & Oren Junior, really good and emotional issue as Ben deals with the repercussions from One World Under Doom issue 2 #FantasticFour

Post gym second breakfast. Egg 🥚 🥚

Finally have new prints up!! I'll do a little thread of each piece. 😍

This crossover is so good folks. It really is an extension of Ryan North's Fantastic Four (which is already one of the best runs of #FantasticFour ever). #oneworldunderdoom

Spectregraph is a beautiful moody piece that explores relationships and moving on from them, capturing images and reflections of yourself, eternal life, not belonging along with some gory ghosts and a haunted house! One to pick up. @dstlry.bsky.social @jamesthefourth.bsky.social @cjward.bsky.social
