It's been a while since I've posted one of these, and unfortunately the great Trading quest hasn't been going smoothly these past few weeks. In fact, I reached a point that I hadn't previously gotten to where I was forced to void a few Trades because teh Tradee in question never sent me along the books he offered. This had a cascade effect onto other Tradees, who had offered their items in good faith. It seems like it's all more-or-less been worked out at this point, but my humble request to everybody out there would be: Don't offer to Trade if you're not serious about following through and sending in yoru stuff. Appreciate it!
But getting back around to some stuff that did work, I made the following trades since last we spoke: I traded UNCANNY X-MEN #121 for a complete run of the original OFFICIAL HANDBOOK TO THE MARVEL UNIVERS #1-15, I swapped the complete X-FORCE/X-STATIX run for four Trade Paperbacks: LIFE AND DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL, AVENGERS: CELESTIAL MADONA, IRON MAN: DEMON IN A BOTTLE and AVENGERS: KREE-SKRULL WAR. I made a large exchange of ASTONISHING TALES #1, SECRET INVASION #6, MS MARVEL #20, NOVA v4 #1 and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #260-261 for UNCANNY X-MEN #281-289, #291, WHAT IF v1 #35 and ANNIHILATION CONQUEST: QUASAR #1-2. For UNCANNY X-MEN #117 & #118 i got the complete EARTH X, UNIVERSE X and PARADISE X including all of the one-shot issues. I traded FANTASTIC FOUR 2099 #1, SPIDER-MAN 2099 #1 and X-FORCE #1 (signed) for the original SILVER SURFER #1 and #2. I gave the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN Vol 1 Hardcover up in exchange for ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN TPB vol 1, THOR: THE BALLAD OF BETA RAY BILL TPB, The three ULTIMATE GALACTUS TPBs (NIGHTMARE, SECRET, EXTINCTION) and EARTH X #1/2. Finally, I traded CAPTAIN AMERICA #110 for IRON MAN #15 and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #350 and #400.
Additionally, generous Tradees also donated the following books to the cause: INFINITY GAUNTLET #2, WOLVERINE ORIGINS #2, CAPTAIN AMERICA #325, #327, #330, #372, #373, #374, #395, #396, #397, #447, #452, #453, CIVIL WAR #1, NEW AVENGERS ILLUMINATI #1 and AVENGERS KREE-SKRULL WAR #2
Finally, because of a Voided Trade the CYCLOPS TWIN PACK MINI-STATUES are back in the active Trading Stack and available for a Trade.
So this leaves the present Trading Stack of available books looking like this:
UNIVERSE X #0-12,X,preview, FF, Spidey, Cap, Beasts, Omnibus, Iron Men Heralds #1-3
PARADISE X #0-12, Xen, Devils, Ragnarok #1-2,A,X
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN TPB Vol 1
THOR BALLAD OF BETA RAY BILL TPB
ULTIMATE NIGHTMARE TPB
ULTIMATE SECRET TPB
ULTIMATE EXTINCTION TPB
IRON MAN #15
As always, if you'd like to propose a Trade for one or more of these comics, simply drop me a line at tbrevoort@marvel.com and make me an offer. (Just be ready to send out your books if you do so!) No reasonable Trade refused, although the goal remains to make it all the way to FANTASTIC FOUR #1 by the time the year is done.
I've done pretty well so far, but the race isn't over until it's over.
wow I need to go back and look at what you started with again, because this looks crazy. In a good way.

Who I think would make a great Thor! DEAR Mr. Lee 6/24/09
Hello. I am one of your fans who would like to request
something of you Mr. Lee. Do you think you get Paul Levesque (WWE)
(HHH) in a movie as thore ? He would be a great thore because
he has everything. The hair, the attitude, and the sledgehammer for it.
If you say yes I would like for it to be near middle of the the summer in
2010. And If you say no then it was worth a try.I thank you for your
time.
Sincerely Ronjae Jones 11; of Coatesville, Pa.
