That Shawn McManus cover has a lil something going on, a little moxie, that is not present in this series’ interiors. It’s almost cruel, suggesting that perhaps something interesting will be going…

You know the crazy thing about this series? I have this vague memory of it feeling kind of exciting at the time. Not the series itself, per se, but the fact that…
Web Of Doom 1
We’re almost ready to hit Michelinie’s final ASM story, but first, this blatant cash grab. This actually saw print much later, the same months as ASM 392-394, but takes place before ASM…

Venom 6
Probably not! A big thing happened in ASM 375 that I don’t think I talked about, but which I noted, maybe for the first time. Bagley was more or less drawing Todd…
