Hey I have been to your site multiple times and I like it and I was just
wondering how many visitors you got? I am just curious really. Don't answer
if you don't want to. Anyway keep up the good work and I will keep coming
back!!

Hi Michael !
Hey, I like easy questions. The Collector Times's readership has
grown over the last 15 months. We have a hit counter on our site, but
we just switched internet service providers so we might be getting
the information in a different way from now on. During our first 6
months of existence, I think we got a monthly hit count low of 250.
Within the last few months, we have had as many as 1700 hits a
month.
Usually our hit count depends on who we have interviewed, and how
we have promoted the issue on a monthly basis. I'd say our average
hit count is around 900-1200 a month, currently. We do seem to be
getting more readers as time goes on.
I appreciate your writing to tell us that you enjoy what
we are doing. I love hearing from the folks that read our
magazine...it makes it all worthwhile for me.
Thanks!

I think it's great that Chaos! Comics is coming out with a comic book about
Stone Cold Steve Austin, he's one of the best wrestlers out there and a very
colorful character. He would make a great comic book character. Will Chaos!
Comics continue with the Insane Clown Posse, now that they went over to WCW?

Searching for X-men Comic Books

Dear Collector Times,
I used to collect comic books when I was younger and I had these pile of
comic books that I expecially liked. Now, they are at my mothers house and I
cannot get a hold of them. She tells me they got wet some how and now they
are ruined. I want to buy these comic books back but its been so long that I
forgot there titles and how many books came out for each X-group. These
comic books are about the death of Professor X and I believe the comic books
that I had was from "X-men: Alpha" to "X-men: Omega". Finally, I was
wondering if you can send me a list of all the new X-men groups that came
out during that saga and any related marvel comic so I can buy them back. If
not, can you somehow help me on my quest to recovering my forgotten comic
books.
Columnist Jason Bourgeois responds:
The storyline you describe is known as the Age of Apocalypse. The issues
that are pertinent to it (and a few that aren't, but have to do with it
anyways) are:
These issues are in normal continuity and set up the story.
Uncanny X-Men 320-321
X-Men 40-41
These are actually part of the Age of Apocalypse.
X-Men: Alpha
Astonishing X-Men 1-4
Amazing X-Men 1-4
Gambit and the X-Ternals 1-4
Generation Next 1-4
Factor-X 1-4
Weapon X 1-4
X-Calibre 1-4
X-Man 1-4
X-Men Chronicles 1-2
X-Universe 1-2
Age of APocalypse: The Chosen
X-Men: Omega
The first book that returned everything to normal continuity, and is mildly
connected...
Several books came out over the last few years that took us back to the
events of AOA.
Tales from the Age of Apocalypse: By the Light
Tales from the Age of Apocalypse: Sinister Bloodlines
X-Man annual '96
X-Man -1

themselves, check out

A Difference of Opinion

It's nice to see that Jason B. has been influenced by the mass media and
jumping on the hate liefeld bandwagon. If he only knew the politics.
It's like Matt Hawkins once said to me "99% of what people say about Rob
is pure bull."
His opinion is just that, opinion (and not even an original one, mind
you) His said "attention grabber" (sex, leifelds, and vidoetape) is as
sad of a grabber as his example of Liefeld and breasts (which is odd cuz
MAD and Campbell do the same thing...yet aren't criticized. Hmmmm.)
I think before Mr. Bourgeois goes on one of his childish rants, he
should perhaps do a little bit more homework. Course what do i know, i
don't have my own personal soapbox, now do I?
