Still...So...Tired

Hey y'all, very sorry for the infrequency/relative lameness of this week's posting, but apparently getting married takes a lot out of you (and your friends). Besides that, I was also out late last night at MarvelFest and am freaking exhausted.

I swear I'm gonna get some sleep this weekend and return to the irreverent discourse on comics, movies and Subway that you live to consume. Until then, here's a medley of covers from random stuff I bought in the 90's!

Dude, I also have Damage #1, Gen 13 #4 and JLTF #0 in my collection. I still have no idea why Thing was wearing that helmet though. I have one comic with him wearing that and then a female Thing. So confusing.

The Thing wore the helmet because Wolverine fucked up his face with his claws when they rumbled one time. Then he got better.

Good God, I had forgotton about that Venom: Funeral Pyre series. That has to be the ugliest "cover enhancement" in the entire fad of holo-foil/hologram covers.

At the same time, I've always thought that Guardians of the Galaxy foil adamantium skeleton cover was kind of neat.

I generally wasn't a kid who would buy comics just based on variant covers (I'd usually get the cheaper versions), but I'm pretty sure I broke that rule for that Guardians of the Galaxy issue (the only one in that series I ever purchased).

Oh god, remeber when Gen 13 was good? I miss Gen 12 so much.

Was that the same Venom series where he rumbled with Sin Eater?

One last thing, is that Despero in JL: Task Force? When did that happen?

Ben Morse said...

For awhile during the 90's, L-Ron (the little robot sidekick of the Justice League International and Maxwell Lord) took over Despero's body and hung with the JLTF.

I'm not sure if Venom fought the Sin-Eater in Funeral Pyre (I only got the first issue), but I think it was a later series.

This is fun!

Ben, you and I would not have had much to talk about had we bumped into each other in a comic shop in the sixth grade, but I totally had most of that Daredevil run as well as Damage #1 (though while I liked it I never bought another issue).

But man...X-Men Adventures!!!!! God, I loved that book SOOOOOOOOO much when Andrew Wildman drew it. I had every issue until somewhere in the middle of Season 3.

Ben Morse said...

I thought Andrew Wildman was way better than he ever got credit for, particularly when inked by the first inker I ever noticed making a difference on books I read, Stephen Baskerville.

And I only have that one issue from Kesel's Daredevil run; I would love to read the rest.
