UNCANNY ANNUAL '95, on the other hand, I found abysmal even as a teen of relatively indiscriminate taste.<br /><br />For whatever reason, I have extremely, vividly fond memories of this year's worth of X-books (the run from AoA to "Onslaught"), but these particular upcoming issues have me wondering why. Maybe it was just a couple months' dry spot in the year?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.com
