Wait...I get the nudes AND the broken games? Fuck you treat me so sweet sometimes...I am a lucky fella...

Yeah, I really hope Venom is set in the same grand universe as the rest of the MU. Sony would be absolutely bat shit insane to not want to incorporate him and their properties into that shared world. We will see in October...

Following the Maximum Carnage storyline is probably one of my  favorite memories of being kid during the comics boom.  While there were crossovers before, it felt like there was never anything quite so huge in scale.  At least to my naive kid brain, Marvel's marketing made it seem like a huge global event (I was actually more reeled in by it as An Event than the Death of Superman).

This was essentially pre-internet times, and I hadn't really grown up enough to realize I could *talk to my dealer* about release schedules. I have very fond memories of dropping by not just every comic shop, but also stand ups in the corner convenience store and mall drugstore to see if I could the find the next installment in the series before my friends. And,  of course, I learned about a lot of other Marvel properties I'd never heard of before - much to Marvel's delight, I'm sure.

I don't get to dive into my old comics very much, but in a box on my shelf is every issue of that crossover, and, even though I don't know or care what the street value is,  the set is one of the most treasured parts of my collection.

Awesome!!!

Yeah Carnage is always a fan favorite so this should do very well. Team it up with the hottest writer in the biz and you have a recipe for success. I am going to do a piece on Carnage soon...
