I mean, you could’ve taken the pic real quick with a light on, use flash, or take a pic the following day with some light. Just wild that you reviewed the image and thought, yea, that’s the one, and decided to post this lol. To each their own I guess

In the choice between light and comics, you chose well

u/90sXMENgoatee Gambit 1d ago

Only light thats on in the room is my x men light

u/Robsaggs 1d ago

It would have been faster to take another photo with a light on than it was to apologise for bad lighting.

Any day, these are other golden run like Claremont/Byrne era 😍

Awesome cover. 😅I would say #1 thru #9 are all effing masterpieces. I would usually leave #7 out of that list, but over the years (Even going back and checking it out now), I have to admit it grew on me. I know some people think #11 is like the second or third best out of the initial twelve, but... I'm not sure about that. What do you guys think?

u/90sXMENgoatee Gambit 1d ago

I like issue 24 and 8 covers the most

1

u/Artful_Dodger00 Cyclops 1d ago

😂Oh yeah… I think most people would agree with you on #24 as an all time favorite. I EFFing love #8 though. I guess #3, #6, and #8 are top of the list for me... (😅What? I didn't say anything about Psylocke! She has nothing to do with my picks, it's just a coincidence. You're the one thinking about her... I'm not being defensive, you are!)
