Damn brother that is truly awesome!!
I have every issue of the Avengers, though since I`m poorer than a churchmouse,some are reprints...............I`m a completist type so all are in numerical order.....missing some issues but not many.......some I just could not afford even in poor condition........after a time I sold off all comics that I had that were printed after 1985 or so..........didn`t care for the characterization changes, and the newer artists/art left me hollow.
All of my comics now are Marvels,though I buy a lot of vintage DC`s to sell........have most issues of all major titles............all vintage, nothing newer that 85` or so depending on the series.
Actually another thing that Stan and I agreed upon was that Marvel went into a creativity slump that they never really recovered from where they just kept duplicating characters and trying to drum up business.
Like Spiderman, Scarlet Spider, Kayne all being the same.
Venom, Carnage, Anti-Venom, and other various symbiotes were introduced.
Capt. America, US Agent, and someone else with a shield and super serum powers
Hulk, Gray Hulk, Joe Fixit, Red Hulk, Sampson, etc..
Green Goblin, Hobgoblin 1, 2, 3, 4, Demogoblin, Malice (another goblin), etc..
Wolverine, his son, his clone, X23, and someone else with claws and healing factor now
And I just gave up on the Xmen, they were introducing people like a telemenudo show after a while. And when they ran out of mutant ideas to create.... they started introducing the future versions of the same people. Ughhh.
