Here’s what the kids wanted. David Michelinie, Mark Bagley, Randy Emberlin, Bob Sharen on deck. Venom has arrived in New York, and seeing Carnage’s face on a newspaper, starts yelling at it…

WEB 101
This month, WEB is Terry Kavanagh, Alex Saviuk, Don Hudson and Bob Sharen. The inker job on this book was all over the place for awhile. Well, Spider-Man’s still in that alley,…
SMU 01
It’s here. My dread built with every issue last time we hit this period, but it can’t be avoided: Maximum Carnage. An absolutely misguided 14-issue disaster that forced me to buy all…
UTS 16

TAC 199

ASM 377

ASM 376
We’re bringing all the monthlies to the May cover date issues so they can all clear the deck for a crossover event. ASM was closer than the others, so we only have…
