I had had various ups and downs in my nascent comic collecting career by this point. We’re in about year 5, I think. But it was this mega-crossover that made me realize,…
SM 36
Because Venom was so nice before. It’s taken them half the crossover to get the weapons they know work on symbiotes, let’s see if that changes anything. This month, it’s Terry Kavanagh’s…
ASM 379
Even wilder! Because Deathlok’s here! I say there are way too many people on this cover that look, to varying degrees, like Spider-Man. Speaking of whom, he’s dragged all the heroes to…

SMU 01

UTS 23
Now this seems like it could be a good idea. Giving the new crime boss about to appear in ASM a little more lead time so he doesn’t just crop up out…
