Bottom Line

Personally, I own every book on the list, why? Because I like the titles and the artists/writers. Will these books let you retire in time? Highly doubtful but, they are still great to own regardless, especially anything related to the X-Men (what can I say? I am a fan of Hickman).

What are your thoughts on the list? Any you think should have made the cut? Any you think should not be up here? Drop a comment and let me know what you think!

Till Next Time...Happy Hunting!
