PERSONAL COMMENTS:

One day while still overseas in Afghanistan I receive this small facebook message from fellow board member and our resident amazing Philippine contact Jun (Force Majure) “Whilce Portacio… want one?” That’s all it took and honestly would have been insane to say no to an amazing artist and honestly Legend in my eyes. The creator of Bishop and one of my absolute favorite X-Force artists I knew right away I had to get something from him. Now with Whilce attending Capital City Comic Con this summer I know I’m going to need to get something else from him as well “Cable” Cannot say enough good things about this one

PERSONAL FAVORITE LINE:

NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF
Published: July 2010

KEY ISSUE: No not really. The start of Volume 3 for the X-Men title. Along with that this is where Jubilee becomes infected and eventually a Vampire

Whilce Portacio Cover Artist – It’s a Blank sketch so it’s really whoever you decide to get on there.

So K How Many Are There???
I have to say this is probably the most sketched upon blank out there. In total there are 1461 total graded with amazingly 2 Gem Mint’s SS, 917 9.8’s, and to include mine 365 of these have been graded out at 9.6 with 353 earning the SS preceding the 9.6. There really are a ton of these out there but the big reasoning behind it was that these had a better stock of paper quality. Another shining example of 9.6SS goodness.

Story Title: Prologue – “Curse of the Mutants, Part 1”

MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:
Ok, so a very Goth guy who looks like a jacked version of Pulp Fictions Gimp decides to take a walk and get some air. Cause the closed zipper for a mouth seems to be the perfect walking attire. Cut to Pixie have a little pity lunch with Jubilee cause she’s now normal.

Goth boy decides it’s party time and decides to do his best impression of Party Boy only to find out he is severely allergic to the sun. Boom goes the Vampire and being the horrible date that he is decides not to tell the girl when he’s about to shoot off.

Jubilee gets Vamp juice in her mouth. Oh no, so she goes back to the X-Men tells them whats going down and Wolverine goes “Snikt” on some vampires for a little while. Some other random lady apparently also got Vamp juice in her mouth as well and now I think she’s in heat for a hickie or something. Oh no Blades in this one…grr I hate Vampires which is funny as I am a hypocrite and happen to be one… all done Curse of the Vampires or something begins.
