Why did you hate AoA? That drew me back in after a hiatus of a few years in college.
Congrads on the 2 pack. yeah Classic Rachel and Banshee would be great. I'm anxious to get more Reavers and want Spiral and the rest of the Mojo verse badly. the rest of the Brotherhood goes without mention.
To clarify it was really more about the culture of the industry at that time, more so than the actual AoA story itself. I came up with the later 70s Cokcum/Byrne era of X-Men and even up until Silverstri was doing his lovely X-Men run Calremont was such a good writer that everyone had their own unique, defined, personality. That gave each character purpose. When that AoA era hit not only did I not like that era of art but EVERYONE became a one dimensional Wolverine type. EVERYONE had a grimacing clenched jaw with a cleft chin and stubble and the same personality-or lack their of. I remember one issue was a heavy Nightcrawler issue and it felt like I was reading a Wolverine book. It was around that time that too much continuity was broken and I felt that all of my years invested in the characters was for nothing and meant nothing. There was a lot of movement in the editorial staff and I felt that the books suffered for it. It really kicked me out of the Marvel Universe. There have been some sparks of greatness between now and then but I've never felt that the continuity was ever on solid ground ever since then.
