From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1i - Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (1991)

From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast

Episode 1I

Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (October, 1991)

Cover Price: $2.50

In our final segment of From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1 - I am joined by my friend Adam (@hojokoolander) from Wizards: The Podcast Guide to Comics (@WizardsComics) to discuss all the X-News that was fit to print back in Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (October, 1991).

In it, we'll look at the earliest sales charts for this era of X-Books, as well as some deep-diving on the Price Guide.  Most notable about this issue, however, is that it might just have been the first place where X-Fans learned that Chris Claremont was no longer going to be steering the line.  It's an awesome little time capsule, and we had a great time chatting it up!  We hope you join in on the conversation!
