Days of Future Past X-Men: Days of Future Past Countdown Thread

[Duran Man]

Thanks for keeping up with these, Duran Man!!!

Is there a pattern to your posting during these reprint days?

No problem.

As for a pattern, I post in chronological order if that answers your question.

I just meant how are you picking the covers. Before it was X-Men covers in chronological succession, but now it'll be The Incredible Hulk one day, then the Avengers, then Marvel Team-Up, and so on. Just wondering!

Since X-Men was on hiatus from ‘70-‘75 and issues #67 to #93 were reprints of older issues, instead of posting those I thought I'd post the comics that the X-Men (or other mutants) made appearances in during the hiatus for days 67 to 92, though for day 93 I posted Giant-Size X-Men.

You now on Original run of X-Men. Some may find it hard to believe X-Men was axed with this Issue being last and then turning into reprint book.
