X-Men: Children of Atom Spec

I’m not a religious person but I’m praying these lame knock offs never see the light of day after this horrible series is shitcanned. Just my opinion but they suck and not in a good way.

I’m unloading all first and second prints except 2 (one of each)…its just too big of a return for such a short time. I’m more of an original X-Men fan too :slight_smile:

I definitely don’t think they have any staying power. Unless they split out of their skin and emerge as completely different characters. Characters with unique powers.

@ToddW did you read the book?

I thought it looked incredibly stupid until I read it and then it made kind of a cool scenario I didn’t think about other than them being knock off x-men characters.

I didn’t care for it myself.

I enjoyed it as well. I kept an open mind until reading it and I’m in for at least 1 more issue to see where it’s headed.

Agreed

Lots of bad reviews by old men yelling at clouds. I read it and loved it. It was a fun read with likeable characters and great art. Good enough for me, going to stick with this series. Picked up a few extra copies too because you never know with these legacy characters. For cover price why not.

That’s my thought. Older readers will not like this book, but that is not the target audience.

I agree… if you see all these characters that are popping up…it seems like Marvel is trying to create a new generation of readers. They already have all of us hooked…but us old people won’t be customers forever (u know, life is finite and all…)

Question for anyone who has the Marvel voices. Look at the back of comic. I have multiple copies bought at different times and there’s a sticker in the third to last page that makes a dent that shows through the last pages. Anyone else see this also?

I don’t think it’s an age thing. I’d be all for some new X-men characters with unique powers. I just think it’s lazy to use existing characters powers and designs on “new characters”. The story was okay but nothing new or mind blowing. We all have different tastes and opinions. Nothing wrong with that. Just not for me. I’m glad others are making money and enjoying it.

The characters are such blatant derivatives that it makes me wonder if there’s a plot twist coming.

I have no doubt there is

The twist is they aren’t mutants but kids cosplaying

I purchased a ton of the marvel voices on a binge last month. I was going to hold. But you have all helped me decide to sell sell sell!

I do regret passing in the Steelefreeze cover when I had the chance.

The worst part: I buried these in my short boxes because I figured I wouldn’t need them. Now I need to search a ton of boxes to find them all. Searching short boxes is exhausting.

Edit. Found some of them! My short boxes are a disaster that closely approximate pure randomness.

As someone who doesn’t organize their collection well at all, I agree sorting shortboxes can be a hassle.

I bag/board/organize my comics every 2 weeks.

Those first prints are going for $40 easy, and the second prints I’m selling for $20…just not going as fast.

edit: seems like some current auctions have been bid up to the $60 mark…so you might get even more! Glad I held 1 back :wink:
