i started buying comics when i could get JMS spidey's at the grocery store

then they stopped carrying those and I started buying x-men backissues and following morrison's new x-men

i got out of it after a few years, then after like a 6 year break i got back into it after grabbing up trades from whedon's astonishing x-men (which was by no means recent, I just missed it when it came out)

i never went back to singles though, fuck floppies

I read a bunch of my uncles old comics when I was a kid, but didn't start buying comics until like, House of M started, I guess. It was a combination of lack of funds and lack of knowledge of where comic shops were.

i remember one of the first trades i ever read was the one with Venom's introduction
i thought that the symbiotes were SO COOL

i also remember the secret wars trade, and also a collection of spider-man's greatest stories

the kid who collects spider-man ;_;

Oh, was he the secret dude they didn't reveal forever? Was the reveal during Spider-Island?

Yeah!

He is seen working with Richards on the cure because, shockingly, dude knows a ton about blood and how to create cures for diseases.

I read a LOT of sonic the hedgehog comics as a kid.

It had some pretty neat stuff going on, especially the "Endgame" storyline leading up to the major 50th issue.

And then Sega went off its fucking rocker with the Sonic 'story'

Dichotomy

I don't think there was ever a rocker there to go off of

The Lovely Bastard

to be fair, venom was pretty dang cool in the beginning

then carnage came to be

then venom kidnapped spidey's robot parents

then maximun carnage

and it just kept going

BlankZoe

Venom was really neat in the beginning, yes!

and now he is great once again

This is all true, but by issue 160 (yes I can't believe the comic lasted that long either) Archie put a relatively unknown writer named Ian Flynn on the book and it's been great ever since.

The Lovely Bastard

I love Flash Venom yes

But Anti-Venom can go to hell

Eddie Brock should have never been seen again after Back in Black

Munkus Beaver

Like seriously, they did some crazy shit with Sonic the hedgehog comics.

And then once they had to start making it follow the 'story' of the sonic videogames, it fell apart.

i have the spider-man ultimate guide by tom defalco

i was always angry at him for not including the Shocker at all

also there was a really weird drawing of a spider-man costume with elements of green in it

While I love The Last Temptation of Eddie Brock as much as you do

I think crazy self-righteous evangelical Eddie Brock seeking to purify the world is a pretty great direction to go

The Lovely Bastard

it smacks too much of azrael to me

Oh he is even crazier than Azrael

in Spider-Island he was literally in a church yelling about how he will cleanse his flock of the taint

BlankZoe

I really like the stealth suit!

I hope he uses it again

The Lovely Bastard

I read a Green Lantern collection from the library about a year back. It was a set of the first few Hal comics. Oh dear me, old comics are awful. Exposition much?

They weren't that bad IMO. Hal's actually more creative with his ring back in those days.

If you want to give Big Time a shot, the bundle of the first 5 issues is like 7 or 8 bucks on comiXology

I have loved the book ever since then

you see that and think "there's no way the real spider-man would wear that, I'd better ignore this clown and look for the real one"

The Lovely Bastard

I'll just maybe pick that up around the time I get my next set of trades

DJ Eebs

amazing bag man is the best spider-man costume of all time

Munkus Beaver

Shows what you guys know about stealth.

That's just what the stealth suit looks like in Las Vegas.

In new york it looks like a flaming bag of dogshit.

The suit is actually invisible to anyone who isn't wearing special lenses keyed to its visual wavelength or something

the neon green is for Peter's benefit as it lets him keep track of where his limbs are in an otherwise invisible suit

The Lovely Bastard

that is a dang dubious explanation, blank

The real reason: Marvel loved the Tron lines.

Vann Diras

I am pretty sure I would have trouble keeping track of where exactly my limbs are if they were invisible

I mean I am clumsy to begin with but still

Your brain should know where your limbs are in relation to your body

Then why do people trip over things or accidently hit themselves sometimes
