I’ve a bit bigger mission ahead of me than I had thought, to track down all all of the Ultraverse comics…and this EXcludes ashcans and most variant/special covers.
Still…I’ve also got a pretty good head start, with an entire run of Prime, and near-entire runs of Strangers and Rune, as well as significant chunks of other titles, and a bunch of the one-shots and several mini-series.
[Thanks to Ultraverse Flashback for the initial checklist.]

Comic Reviews by Walt 
The list isn’t as daunting as you think … keep scanning ebay for bigger lots of books and you can pick up a lot of runs fairy cheap. Buy them that way and you can get a lot of books on your list for 20-30 cents each, or less. Just be patient.
It’s the immediate gratification thing. This obviously isn’t something I can do in a couple weeks, though I wish it were.
