Owner's Description

STORY TITLE:

"Shell Game (X-Tinction Agenda Part 2)"

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

Huge fan of this crossover series especially with the New Mutants and Uncanny X-Men art. Didn’t really like the X-Factor art though but understood bringing in Jim Lee in the later numbers.

PERSONAL FAVORITE LINE(S):

I have no idea.

NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF

Published: November 1990

KEY ISSUE: Death of the New Mutants Warlock and a crossover title for the X-Tinction Agenda series.

SO HOW MANY ARE THEIR K???

Quite a few graded issues with this one but honestly not as many Signature Series issues as I had originally thought. In total there are 45 graded copies of this one with 30 9.8’s, 3 9.8SS’s, 7 9.6’s and 5 others graded lower. Somehow for the death of the New Mutants Warlock I and a pivotal part of the X-Tinction Agenda crossover there just doesn’t seem to be enough of this one I guess in my opinion.

*Edit* So a few more have been done since this was last updated but current figures are, 46 Graded, 33 9.8’s of which 4 are 9.8SS. I will say that there isn’t another one like this one out there.

ANY PLANS FOR THIS ONE???

Yes, this coming August for Labor Day Rob Liefeld and Joe Rubinstein will be attending Amazing Houston where I plan to get this one and a few others double signed. Hoping Louise Simonson signs on as well to get some triple signature goodness but honestly don’t see that happening.

DID YOU MEET YOUR GOAL???

Not yet but time will tell. Overall I’m doing pretty good with this series at this point and hoping to gain those few spare points here and there in order to at least bypass one of the New Mutant Bash Brothers…

*Edit* Hell yes, this one is done and not only is it 9.8SS double signatured, but it also now has a remark on it by series inker Joe Rubinstein of my main man Cable.

SO HOW DID YOU GET THIS ONE???

This one was a purchase from the chairman of the boards here, Tnerb, following a little begging and pleading that is.

MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:

Storm, Boom-Boom, Rictor, Wolfsbane and Warlock have been captured by Magistrates and teleported to Genosha all nude, where they learn that Cameron Hodge, now using a huge mechanical body, has allied with the island nation. The mutants are stripped of their powers and prepared for undergoing the mutate process, but Warlock sacrifices his last energies to help his friends to break out, now clothed. They split up and try to escape the citadel, but Rahne later turns back to help Warlock. She arrives just in time to prevent Hodge from infusing himself with Warlock’s shapeshifting ability, but she can’t prevent her teammate’s death. In New York, X-Factor and the remaining New Mutants and X-Men learn of their friends whereabouts through the TV news. Genosha considers the X-Men as criminals of the state which will be brought to trial, Warlock is reported to have been killed while trying to escape.
