Matt, I'm not familiar with the storyline you referenced in the at the end of your post - is there someplace online I can find out about that, or is it brief enough that you can explicate (in white font if need be)?
As to the last part of your first comment, that's almost how I read the end of the issue, but I went back to double-check and thought otherwise - maybe my initial read will be right after all. It probably would be a help if I knew more about
these Hellfire Club folks - I'm not sure what everyone's powers are.
I was referring to X-Men issues 129-135, which has a storyline way too convoluted for me to explain. A brief overview can be read here. The
final panel of Kitty was a homage to a final panel featuring Wolverine in that run of comics
.
Thanks Matt. I'm constantly surprised what Wikipedia has. Damn, that's some SERIOUSLY convoluted backstory.

Much about X-men is on wikipedia -- so much that the mind boggles. But for convoluted backstory, try visualising the Summer family tree in the head. It will ache. For hours afterwards. And then you will go mad.
Someone talk me into (or out of) trying to buy a run of the original DC Sandman comics (issues 20-75) for around $100. Of course, if I get these, I'm going to have to also track down issues 1-19. Are those generally significantly more expensive?
I already have all the hardbound collections.
You should definitely buy them, and then send your hardcovers to me, since you won't need them any more.
Two bucks a comic? If they haven't been chewed to tatters by someone's dog, that's a steal.
Don't forget, though, the Ultimate (or whatever) Sandman is coming out with the colouring updated to match printing technology. Despite having the TPBs, from what I've seen I'll need to own those too.

I assume these are a new set of reprinted hard/softbound collections?
How's the color/printing in the original comics compared to the existing bound reprints?
OK, I've found references to Absolute Sandman. [link]
I may have to get those too. Damn....
