younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, it used to be the case that I would just grab some comic at random just because it looked cool, even when it was, say, the second issue of a four-issue mini-series and the likelihood of getting the first, third, and fourth issues wasn&#8217;t really even a consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like, yeah, by the time I bought <em>Havok and Wolverine: Meltdown<\/em> #2, I did have occasional access to a comic shop &#8211; it was 100 miles away, but we made periodic trips to that town throughout the year &#8211; but I didn&#8217;t often pick up back issues there, as I had limited funds and had to make difficult choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, as far as I knew when I grabbed #2, that was the only issue I was likely to see, which, to my mind, seems like kind of a stoner thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, years later, I finally got around to doing what non-stoner stoner Jon never really even considered doing &#8211; and couldn&#8217;t have conceived of doing, given that the whole &#8220;internet&#8221; thing would have boggled his mind back then &#8211; and picked up the other three issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
