14 comic releases from 1983.
Ahhh, right in my sweet spot. I bought every single one of those comics. I still have my copies of Warrior, L&R, Nexus, Weirdo. And that was the first issue of Love and Rockets I bought at Million Year Picnic in Boston.

So has anyone found any good discussion of the new all-female X-book? I haven't even seen any pages posted on scans_daily.
I've been enjoying it so far. What do you guys think?

I should ask Chatty!Former!Co-worker if he's seen that. Although he's at the comic-con all weekend, so maybe not the best time.
