Funny, if Marvel had focused on the Silver Age first, it would have been done by the 100th volume. It's a good thing I'm a patient fellow.

Still, I hope that in 2016, Marvel steps up release frequency to 24/yr. That way I can finish my collection five years ahead of time in 2020.

Yeah, I guess you could say I have 2020 vision. Ba-dum cha!
