CCL Messageboard

I was a bit a Venom nut growing up:

The first battle (#300) he defeated him by continually snapping Venom's weblines and causing his symbiote to exhaust itself by making Venom constantly shoot new weblines.

The 2nd time (#316-317) is a little more questionable but he still didn't have help. He tried to rejoin with the symbiote to stop Venom from continuing, but as the symbiote tried it collapsed because it had already bonded with Brock fully.

But other than that, he did have help. The help wasn't fighting alongside him or anything though, they were more like interferences from outside influences (other than obvious help from Torch in that story).

Just got in

Indestructible Hulk #1 Phantom Variant
Great Pacific #1 Phantom Variant
Bedlam #2 Phantom Variant
and
Saga #7 regular cover

Very nice pickups.

Got a thing for Phantom Variants, eh?

I just got a bunch of New Mutants, bunch of Spider-Man, and the Deadpool #1 Phantom variant :)

Overall, a good week...

The Hulk phantom is great it is a homage cover to Incredible Hulk #1. As for the others, I am an Image fan, so when I collect a series I like to get all of the covers if possible. Plus, I like seeing how the phantom group and the ghost variant group are going to keep pushing each other.

That is true. I did need to get the Deadpool Phantom. And to be honest, if Indestructible Hulk wasn't an impulse buy for me, I would have gotten that cover as well. (I was originally gonna pass on this series)

My uncle had these stashed away somewhere, he found them and gave them to me.

nice man. that spider-woman book is a sweet snag!

That's an odd mix of books. Garage sale, or what? Details, man!

I'm a big Daredevil fan, and those are some great reads that I highlighted for ya'.

i think most of them they got at A1 comics in sacromento, for like .50 cents or something. my brother bought a huge lot of DD and gave me his doubles. the GL and hawkman they just bought me for the hell of it. they run a business together in california and they make pretty good, so i'm not gonna argue with them lol

Received today from Dave at ebcomix:

Shadowland: Moon Knight #1-A
Transformers: Generation 2 #10-A
Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1-A

He even threw in a couple extras. Thanks, Dave!

Man, this thread really does make me a bit jealous. All these sweet pickups.

All I got today was my last couple weeks worth of monthlies.

Is your brother partners with Brian at A-1, or is he an employee? Ever since Comix & Comics went out of business about 10 years ago, A-1 has been top dog in Sacramento. Brian is a great guy! He deserves every bit of the success his store has earned.
