jhalbright, great choices. If anyone asked me what was so great about comics, I'd hand them the Born Again trade.

One of the early back-ups in Classic X-Men had a story where Colossus meets a Russian girl who he connects with. She's vague about what she's doing here, and it turns out she (I'm going from memory here) is on the run from some gangsters that she's been involved with. They find her, but Colossus saves her, and in doing so he transforms to his metal form. She immediately is horrified and shouts, "A man of steel has no heart!" and runs away. The last panels show him in exactly the same pose at the pier during day and night thinking, then the last panel is a torn picture of her he's discarded and the line, "You are wrong." All those back-ups were great, actually.
