Since the new Moon Knight series will be out in a few weeks, I put up a list of key issues for Moon Knight on my blog.

Do you like Juggernaut?  Most people do.  He's unstoppable and that has created some fantastic battle scenes against heroes like Thor, Colossus, and the Hulk.  In this post I'd like to give a little recognition to the man who is responsible for many of those battles, Black Tom Cassidy.  The rest of the post and list of key issues can be found at my blog:

Another list of key issues up on my blog.  I'm more of a Marvel guy and thought I should give some love to a DC title.  As always let me know if I missed something.  The list is here:

Just posted a list of key issues for The New Mutants Volume 1 on my blog.  As always let me know if I missed anything.  The list can be found here:

Stepping out of my comfort zone a little bit with this one.  So far, all of the key issue lists that I've put together have been for series that I actually read.  I have a few issues of this volume but was never that into it.  Excalibur fans, please don't hold it against me.  I was a small town high school kid who was listening to Guns-N-Roses and just wanted to see Schwarzenegger or Stallone blow something up.  Most of the humor in this series was way over my head at the time.  As always, let me know if I missed something.

Cable is one of my all time favorite characters in comics.  Although the X-Men already had Wolverine and Gambit as resident bad , they still bought into Xavier's methodology for the most part.  It was interesting to see a hero who believed in the dream but disagreed with Xavier on how to get there.  I'm hoping that because she was raised by Cable, we'll see Hope begin to show lots of Cable's character traits.  I think we're already seeing some of that with Gillen's Generation Hope.  Lots of these issues can be picked up from the $1 bin at your local comic shop.

As promised, here is the key issues list for X-Factor Volume 1.  I consider Volume 1 to be through issue #149 of the 1986 series.  Other sites have issue #200 and up listed as part of Vol 1 but I would consider those to be part of Volume 3.  As you can see below there are quite a few first appearances including Apocalypse.  Some of these may seem like a stretch, but I'm trying to be as comprehensive as possible when it comes to key issues.  As always, let me know if you think I missed something.

I know.  Kind of a weird choice for a list of key issues, but most of the majors like Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk, etc. you can find on a forum somewhere.  Plus, I like X-Force.
