Found out my local shop owner has read every single issue of X-Men since 1963

I was at Cosmic Comics on 43rd last Friday and the owner just casually mentioned he's got a complete run from issue 1 to now in his head. Been buying comics there for 3 years and never knew, makes me wonder what other fans I walk past every day are hiding.

Wait, is it really possible to remember every single issue though?

It's less about remembering every single thing and more about getting a feel for what kind of issues keep popping up, you know? @amy_murphy15, once you've been around a certain group long enough you start to see the same patterns play out like clockwork. It's the same way with my friend group or even just watching the news - certain problems just have a way of repeating themselves. Makes you wonder if the real skill is just spotting the pattern early rather than memorizing a list. Right?
