Hey everyone, this is Rob Leifeld and you are listening to Rob Zervations, my podcast where I talk

comics and in all things comics, in comic movies, and comic streaming and comic cartoons and comic

records. And you know this already. Here's the deal. Today, if you are,

are feeling extra big energy from me, there's a reason. This, this is a special, a very special

edition of Rob'servations because today, as you are listening to this episode, this, this

Robeservations episode, this, this, this,

observations episode. It is June 25th, 2021, which means it is 30 years to the date,

to the absolute date of the release of X-Force number one. X-Force number one.

The comic book that changed my life forever, inevitably, in ways I will never be able to fully express,

but in multiple ways.

Maybe, and hopefully, it changed your life.

It gave you an extra kick that day. It gave you an extra smile.

It opened up your imagination and opened up possibilities for you. It, uh, maybe you bought a bunch of copies and you traded them and you sold them and you made some sweet coin. Um, maybe earlier in this

year when that Deadpool card was jumping in in value and it was a rookie card and you broke it

open and sent it to PSA and and you got a great grade and it's and it's worth $800 now.

I mean, I'm just hoping that somehow creatively, financially, uh, on, on whatever level,

just a satisfaction of a story. i hope that it impacted you because it

impacted me it absolutely impacted me i cannot believe it's been 30 years okay let's let's let's

let's think about this real quick okay let's think about this so if you were 10 years old when you

bought x-force number one let's i mean it's easy math you're 40 now okay if you were 10 years old when you bought X-Force number one, let's, I mean, it's easy math.

You're 40 now, okay?
