1st Kiden Nixon. Complete with a name straight from the street? Can it be that even there are heroes from all walks of life? We've found the most valor from the unexpected places, yet everyone struggles with their own environment. We can make decisions, and no one is exempt from the trials and tribulations, or so it seems. Taking the bad and turning it to good for recompense, is not always within our power, ourselves. We make do with the circumstances and to endure gives hope. WE HOPE TO THE BITTER END. Lives are in the balance within NYX, and to be sure, it isn't all that glamorous but is an occurrence we've come to understand. Life is lovely, but it doesn't always look that way, nor does it make us "feel" that way. There must be something to these lessons learned, and what for?!? Bought from Ebay at $49 in CGC 9.2 to match my #3 issue. A starter set in the 9's or Near Mint ranges, I'll Take It!
Complete with a back cover picture of the #2 issue that I believe completed the set for me with a mix of raw and slabbed! Lot to keep up with, but perhaps a Metallica themed "Slab Them All" is in order!

1st X-23! Redemption seems to be on everyone's thoughts, for the first appearance of Laura Kinney as X-23, who is a clone. She'll go on to find out there are other clones, and that she is far from "unique", but may be the first of a "kind". I'm happy with the 9.2 grade, even after seeing this on sale in higher grade for lower prices. I paid $350! (pun intended but still true) With the success of the movie Logan, ground swell for this character has struck a chord with many a fan, me included! She's relevant, so relevant, with ever increasing relevancy! Hopeful for more X-23. She's snazzy nowadays in a suit similar to Wolverine, back in NYX she didn't have too much in the way of possessions though. She was getting those street smarts. Those may help, as problems are the same no matter how well off you are, and it is what you do with those lessons that give merit. All the more the hit taker will keep stamina, though mentors early on will seek to guide the "animal" spirit, only by prospering and seeing results will she gain the needed confidence. Self-confidence comes from the group, sometimes, and can help you see yourself and your usefulness. The tools we have sometimes come from only what we've experienced personally.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Hustlers!" Similar to the NYX #3 issue, the movie is where the Hustlers get over on the "John's" and starring Jennifer Lopez! At the prescreen they even had girls dancing on poles but no stripping, ha-ha. PG or maybe PG-13, though the movie was Rated R, the showing was at a regular theater. Color me silly, I was going to need it! ~ to paraphrase Green Day
Grader Notes:
crease left bottom of front cover breaks color;
multiple bend spine.

2nd X-23. I bought this at Fan Expo Dallas 2017, and with the Logan movie around the corner, X-23 will get her day in the spotlight. Daken Too! Yes, the movies were awesome, and or, something different to behold. This book fluctuates in popularity though. Picked up the rest of NYX, or well most of them and fairly cheap. I've held onto a few, as I may want to complete the set-in slab form. The cover is a little striking as I believe that she just killed a pimp, from either this issue or the one previous. Still a fairly early appearance, almost a standalone character, despite being a "clone" or some such from Wolverine. She has her own thoughts and morals. She is somewhat shaky with them at first, until the X-men meet her and calm the rage a bit. Those issues create issues that bring on the justice, if it can be called that in a sense of what a possible X-man stands for, that may by in my opnion but is not lacking in retribution that makes X-23 think and tick and hopefully for the better!
Complete with a back cover picture of my VF reader run, should sum it up nicely, bring on X-23! She's mean but tamable, in the end. We all have the angst to put in check, then checkmate!
Grader Notes:
light bends to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover.
