The last three seconds is the most honest review I could ask for. Not gonna lie, I want to read it now. Who doesn't love a good train wreck?

Man , those Brigade issues are like grains of sand you find multiples where ever there is a pile of 90’s comics .

With Mike's narrative and editing skills, even "lower grade" places come alive, great job.

The debut of Salty Mike. It might be worth something someday.

What do you mean, "Let's see if we can find some cool stuff?" It's Lunch Money Comics! We have no doubt that you can find some cool stuff. Did someone say John Byrne?!? This is one of my favorite videos because of your discussion of Nightcrawler. Excellent stuff!

The ending was too funny! In the trash you go...

5:34 'Fievel goes West' trading cards! Wow. That's a throwback!

The music was awesome in this video. Totally groovin along with you at the last shop. Thanks for the good episode

great ending!

Grandma's soundtrack is B-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-C-K!!! Time for milk and cookies! 😂 Just teasing, buddy! I really enjoy your content and you are such a humble, genuine person. That being said, you missed all those x-men books from the 150's--170's for 2 bucks! Those are $10+ books in higher grade especially those 2 Binary first appearance issues that go for $40ish. Get back out there and snatch them up! Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged to play Grandma's soundtrack. It is quite relaxing 😴🤤😅👍

I did not catch the price but that Star*Reach comic you passed on, on that spinner, is a cool series. Early creator owned comics from the 70's. I believe the issue you showed was #2. Neal Adams cover plus Starlin & Giordano (and others) art inside. Dan

I have never had any luck finding comics in antique malls. Even when they do have some, they typically charge 10x the actual comic value.

Great pick ups. It's great you have all those shops to go to. Some interesting items in them.

I really like the way you told the story about the nightcrawler book! I enjoyed your show take care.

I love the negative review on that Nightcrawler arc, what a bonkers story. The 7 year old in me jumped for joy when I saw those Robin Hood trading cards. Time to visit my local antique shop...eBay

That was fun and entertaining.

Love the footage. Yes, I am very jealous. It looks like a beautiful part of the world. Great pick ups, except for that Uncanny X-Men issue,

I was introduced to Reyes blue beetle from Batman Brave and the bold cartoon.

Spending the day searching for comics is always a fun day! Glad you found some good stuff!!

Ha! He disposed of that piece of trash in the garbage bin!

That was some interesting information about the X-Men 428. I was not reading books at that time and it sounds like I didn’t need to with that series! Marvel did put some duds over the years but that one sounded bad! There’s a dollar you won’t get back!😂

I remember reading that Xmen book, and I was like, what in the world is this.

Yesss my day gets better when you upload been checking every day I'm addicted 😂😂😂

Love your passion about Nightcrawler. This is the most worked up we’ve ever seen you. You must have really hated that series.

I have stopped reading xman at that time Thank God Cool pick up my friend stay safe

Great pickups! 😊

You should stop by The Grid Games in Manchester CT. Have a good selection that's not picked over.

I always like the art style change up for the Uncanny Xmen it was good. The story on the other hand is not so good. lols. I own that issue too. :D As for the Xmen Wolverine cover, I love the intricate details!

Good Pickups!

Wow, that was a lot of hunting. It’s good to see how many places you have to go to actually find some.

I like your videos dude I wish there were more places to get comics down here

i have that same nightcrawler book, i bought it for the cover and didnt know anything about that writter HAHAHAH I already read it and imma resell that!

Mike, Thanks for the heads-up on the Stinko Nightcrawler issue(Via Chuck Dixon). What was the expression " if you can't say anything nice, come sit by me!! > Point taken!! By the way, you're oft time mentions of Nightcrawler got me started on picking up the Claremont- written NIGHTCRAWLER series. So far I've found issue # 3. I'm going to look for the others at Steel City Con . Wish me luck...

Great video and cool pick-ups! Appreciate your commentary on that X-Men storyline and agree 100%….Loved the “post credit scene” the best! 😂😂😂

I love the ending!

That Nightcrawler shirt is awesome

Nice pickups mike especially the blue beetle

Great to see you even more passionate about the X-Men than usual Mike. I always associate Chuck Austen with the Marvel MAX series U.S. War Machine from the early 2000s and with Elektra from around the same time and I enjoyed both. However, from your description, his Nightcrawler story breaks down in logic and crosses the line into uncomfortable, even questionable, plots. It reminds me of the Avengers story leading up to #200 of the original series in which Carol Danvers goes through an accelerated pregnancy and learns that she was unknowingly impregnated by the very being she gives birth to. In both cases I have to ask: where were the editors when this was happening and why didn't they see that these stories were inappropriate on several levels?

The Man Thing is nice

Intresting retcon backstory of Nightcrawler, especially the part where Nightcrawler and Angel of the X-Men were descendants of Demons and Angels of heaven. Very familiar story from Jack Kirby's Eternals storyline between humans and deviants clashing because of their differences, all because of the Celestials. Nice review.

Mike I love that you spent a buck on Uncanny X-Men 428 just to warn people. I'm a die hard X guy and yep that writer run is bad, REAL bad, but I had to get it for completion. So I got to just fill a hole. Also, I about spit a drink out at the end credits I laughed so hard. Great bit of humor!😉😆

I moved from MA to CA in 1974 and I still get grief on how I say “orange.” lol.

I got that hulk comic at my local flea market a couple weeks ago for $1. It turned out to be in great condition

If you liked Blue Beetle the movie and the actor who plays Jaime, you may enjoy the tv show a Cobra Kai. He is one of the lead characters. If you enjoy the Karate Kid movies this is a fun watch with most actors from the 80s films having key roles. I just recently discussed your channel and really enjoy your videos. I'm more of a DC guy, that's what I read in the 80s and 90s. I've been exploring Marvel lately and am enjoying it. Small baby steps. I plan on X Men or Fantastic Four next.

I thought that Man Thing cover was a pretty cool cover. That Blue Beetle book is one I want to find at some point, and I also liked the movie. And thanks for the warning of that Xmen run, I haven’t read much but know now to stay away from the weird things going on in those particular books lol.

I think it's cool you follow what you're passionate about. Nice acquisitions!! Thanks for sharing the awesome antique shops and your hunt for comics! 👍👍

Hi Mike, entertaining as ever. Nice to see the Sgt.Fury for a change. I’ve got several really early ones I bought on release, yet interest in them seems minimal. An undervalued character if ever there was one.

😂 I love the truth coming out. There is a lot of trash X-Men stuff in my opinion. Maybe that is why my X-Men collection is so narrow. But I agree. This era of X-Men is universally reviled

My favorite comics are Spider-Man and batman

Looks like you had a great day of searching for Comics. Glad you were able to find some at the end of the day. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Keep up the great work and the positivity. 😎

Loved the ending Mike! There is nothing wrong in stating your feeling about certain comic runs. I think some runs drove us to quit collecting when we were young. I absolutely hated the Avengers run around 215 or so....just Terrible.

$1 for Azazel's 1st appearance? I thought he was a cool character in First Class.

You can’t post enough content! Every time I see that you have posted another video, I can’t wait to press play! What is the music that you have in the background while hunting?

I think antique stores are tricky. In general some are not aware of the true market value of the comic and may ask a price higher than normal but it doesn’t hurt to try to look.

I didn't get a good look at those Valiant comics, but if you don't already have the pre-Unity issues they're genuinely great comics and you can often find them for cheap!

Wow mike almost got skunked. Lucky he has his on honey hole.

Lmao the end!! As a nightcrawler fan thank you. I was going to suggest a short where you were lost in the woods and needed to start a fire and as luck would have it you have the best kindling lol. I'm hugely against destroying any book/comicbook. So for me to suggest that...yeah you may get how I felt hearing that storyline. I missed a lot of the early 2000s to current times. When they started changing the comic to reflect the movie I literally mind vomited (if that's a thing...it is now lmao). It turned me away from all comics actually for a long time. Just started getting back into it last year. Think I mentioned that before. On another note I didn't realize that uncanny spiderman was going to be about nightcrawler's origin. I may have to check it out after all. I thought they were doing some spidey verse thing where one of the world's nightcrawlers decided to become spiderman. (I'm getting tired of spider clones big time. Then they do it with venom too...oy) Again love the vid and the info. You remain one of the best Mike, thank you for keeping my hope alive for a hobby I love.

THE DEFINITIVE NIGHTCRAWLER ORIGIN STORY. comes out this week in X-Men Blue: Origins #1, since you are a big fan I though you should know.

Ahh man ur tmnt comic has travelled round that back wall,and now it's been put to the back 😢. Still great video once again Mike and a good find.

There is a Power Pack TV pilot on youtube.

Nice pick ups Mike. Love going to flea markets, yard sales, antique shops. You never know what you will find. Great history on that crap time in x-men history. I just put out a video going to the Raynham flea market. Found a few good books. 👊🏼

I was in the Fitchburg/Leominster area recently. Your store tour videos were inspiration, so i did the Lunch money comic mini tour . I stopped by that's entertainment in Fitchburg, not Worcester and Wonderland comics on the way home. I didn't have time for the antique stores in Putnam. Fitchburg had 3 comics that I wanted. One of them was the silver surfer one shot that was on your wall. I thought I could get them cheaper on line but I always forget about shipping costs lol.

I know you like xmen. I would have given that dc horror cover withe the Kaluta cover a second look. I think it was Kaluta. Also in the next stop I would have picked up the Beauty and the Beast cover from the TV show. Just a Nostalgic grab. But U got some nice stuff. Thanks for the warning on that xmen run.

I really like Chuck Austin

It’s great to see you covering MA! Have I missed anything you’ve posted closer to Amherst or Northampton?

Thank you so much Mike! Should I link Chuck Austine to this video? Lol. Love the passion my friend!

Interestingly bought the 1980s reboot of Blue Beetle on ebay the seller sent me a vintage issue of Blue Beetle which was an independent comic company published in the 1960s and i owned it in the 1980s the dc reboot never read it, ironically up until the Dark knight and watchmen most people thought Dc comics were uncool, ie the people i knew only thought about Blue Beetle after watching the movie which was cheesy but fun.....didn't know about the comic until just now unfortunately Mike led me to spend my last four pounds on the Avengers 292 so pleased but still addicted to collecting haha.

Go info on the X-Men thx

Surprised you passed on the House of Mystery 201, but I couldn't make out the price.

You’re killing me! The House of Mystery and the Star Reach around 6:00! The Star Reach looked like the uncensored version with an Adams cover and Giordano art. And DC Bronze horror comics are heating up, especially that era. Pretty sure that had a Kaluta cover too.

Mike don’t you have Newbury Comics around greater Mass? I lived in Cape Cod/Hyannis and Boston and there were locations there and loved going to those locations every week!

Hi I'm from athol ma is there any place close by in athol to look for comic books ps I love your channel keep up the good work

Hi Mike, like the Video! Do you rebag & reboard Your New Comics?

Chuck Austen pretty much did the same thing to Avengers just before the numbering went legacy (#500) in volume 3. Horrible writing which I have had mindwiped from my brain. That being said I liked his art in the adult-oriented comics he did before that (Hardball & Strips)

Does Chuck Dixon write anything good? I know he wrote some birds of prey

That is some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

lol .. did you really threw out that nightcrawler comic?

Have you watched invincible?

Bruh, love your vids...but the music?! Its hard to listen to. Nothing but love lunch money!!!

Hey do u know anyone who may be interested in parting with Spawn comics

You overpaid on x men 428 by $1.50

Unfortunately the Chuck Austen era looks like a masterpiece compared to the current Krakoan train wreck. 😞

Dear mom and pop antique stores, Please recycle comics between and 1992 and 1998, Image, Valiant etc. Save your time and your customer's time. Thank you, Sincerely Comic Collectors Everywhere.
