Okay, the first book I ever ever EVER got I can't remember what number it was, but it was X-force something. Then the next first was Man of steel #22. Then the first I got when I started collecting was either Uncanny x-men 453, X-men 166, Amazing spider-man 514, Spectacular (sp?) Spider-man v2 21, (i think) captain america 1, Iron man 89, then Iron man 1... let me stop because there is more. these where all dated either the end of 2004 to the begining of 2005. Also, there was flash 200 something, and JLA something... okay, let me stop.
