original_post:_1/15/2001________ I've always been a big X-men fan, and for a brief period of time was really into filling my collection. Then there were so many offshoots and spin offs it got hard to keep track and expensive. I learned you could get comics that were written well and drawn well that didn't have to involve mutants. I started taking some chances in my comic buying. That led to me finding Hellboy, JTHM, Bone, Strangers in Paradise, and many others.
