Like I have mentioned before, I enjoy the "hunting" of back issues and with a preference for the bigger stories, I like to spend my hunting days finding the missing pieces to the story arcs or lines that I like. It was what I enjoyed the most during my Marvel reading days, having entered the X-Men universe with X-Cutioner's Song, and exiting with The Phalanx Covenant, and the epic Fatal Attractions (X-Men #25 and Wolverine #75.....amazing, front to back) in between those gems.

But, one story line that I missed out on (due to no DC Comics where I lived at the time), and is a priority among my story arc collection is Knightfall from the Batman Universe. Where Bane breaks the Bat and there is a new Batman...temporarily of course. I do look for others that I need, such as Spider-Man's Maximum Carnage, X-Men's X-Tinction Agenda, as well as some Batman runs that I missed being out of the comic book loop. An earthquake hits Gotham? Damian Wayne? Batman dies killing Darkseid? People actually thought Jason Todd should have taken the cowl? Sorry, I am pro Grayson on that topic ahaha I do have the graphic novel collection of Batman R.I.P., etc, but I "need" to have them whole story, issue by issue. Trust me, it is much more fun this way, it's like a comic book Easter egg hunt aha

  

Not only do I hunt, but I list things, both hand written and then on computer, it's an obsession of sorts, and tend to apply it to everything ahaha Here is an example of just that for the aforementioned Knightfall (I also have this for the KnightQuest's and Aftermath ahaha)
