Was look at some comics at the flea market for 50 cents each, he had the entire run of 80's Squadron Supreme which I was going to buy, he then offered me the entire bin for 10 bucks and I got:

The good:

Animal Man 12-25
Authority 19-26
New Frontier 1-6
Squadren Supreme (80's) 1-12
Outsiders Vol 3 9-15, 21, 24, 25

Next Men 1-6, 23-28, 30

The crap:
Tellos Prelude, 1-10
Breach 1-5
Mage: The Hero Discovered 9-15
DNAgents 1,2 6-16, 18-24
New DNAgents 1-6, 11, 12, 14-17

The Random:
New Mutants Vol 1 19
Stalkers 1
Spider-man Vol 1 2
New Gods (6 Issue Mini Series 1984) 6
Thunderbolts 82
Thunderbolts 83

They cost less than 7 cents each, for 147 comics.

I also scored Walking Dead 75 retailer variant for $13, which is a pretty good deal according to eBay.

I had no idea what it was. I noticed the name, but had never heard of it before.

Let me know if it's good.

I've flipped through Mage but never really read any, it's supposed to be really good. I remember in the heyday of Wizard in the 90s they raved over it...

Matt Wagner is fantasimo.

As XIII mentioned his Trinity is well done as is his Batman minis: Batman and the Monster Men, Batman and the Mad Monk, Batman: Faces & Batman vs Grendel.

All superbly written.

Cool to know you eventually got it. I remember mentioning this one during our first NYCC.
Was it a "big" investment?

$200. So yes, but for that particular comic, no.
