My local comic shop here in Lawrence, Kwality Comics, has several bins of comics which are 50¢ each and I noticed recently they had several copies of the 2nd most purchased comic in history, X-Force #1 in there. [X-Men (Vol. 2) #1 sold the most copies ever].
I have owned several of these issues and I think they are still sealed up in my comic collection that's collecting dust at my parent's house. Along with this issue [for the first time ever I believe] Marvel included trading cards of the key X-Force characters one card per issue. The idea being that if you wanted to collect the 5-card set you needed to buy five issues.
Well, I've waited nearly 20 years and now all five can be mine for $2.50! Good things come to those who wait! Here's the set:
Plus, don't forget the t-shirt order card for the completists out there!
And let me add one parting question, how great were Battletoads?!?
