Salvador Larroca cover. 1st full appearance of the new Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan). Streaming media, it is the wave of the ongoing future! Will we ever look back? Taking the time to start a newish MS Marvel story and make it fresh to market. Sparking and tantalizing the ways of the new market. Will it bring in newer viewers and hopefully readers? Time will tell. I believe this Marvel is a from India and takes on the role as a kid. I know the actress in the film said she admired MS Marvel most of all, so she's perfect for the role. She had been a fan as long as alive, as she is still a kid. That would make the experience all the more exciting and genuine, hopefully these attributes play well for the future of comics. No matter how many multiverses, we need a core following to sustain and attract any newcomers. Those green and yellow covers do seem like a theme throughout my collection.
Complete with a back cover picture of the sisterly brotherly and nephewly issue of sharing a milkshake and meeting the family! 1st app of the nephew? But with the sweeter than cinnamon red hots cover! Keep them riveted I tell you!

1st Appearance of Gabby, Bellona & Zelda Kinney; the Honey Badger. I discovered that Wednesday was new comic book day was with this issue and in 2016! I picked this issue and actually the 1st 6 issues of this series up off the rack at the LCS, when it was released! I had discovered slabs but hadn't the intuition to pick up new comics until the All-New Wolverine! It was a good read and nice to see the Taskmaster show up! What a Twist!! Now there are statues being made of X-23 and Gabby as the team-up duo, that 1st got their start and introduction in this issue. Good story, although it was made to be continued. They still had to flesh out the characters a bit and 1 story won't do it. Plenty of love after all this time, and some earning of their stripes. The Honey Badger and the X-23 Wolverine have some interesting developments, mostly as friends and a duo that rivals any other. The times are changing for their benefit, with some plot devices that keep them in the groove! Time is moving, glad there are women represented here.
Complete with a back cover picture of "WEDNESDAY THE PRESCREEN!" A month before released to the public event, that they set up booths to take pics with the "THING!" Who was a star in the show, to keep it real on a night out with my brother and commemorate that the prescreen was on a Wednesday as well!

1st appearance of Anya Corazon. Spiders are feisty and are not taking a siesta anymore! It is down to the coddles of feeling, and for the longing of youth done right. With the spirit willing and childlike faith, we don't let that curb our enthusiasm for exciting new storytelling, and we remember from whence the first love of comics hit our eye, like a big pizza pie. We delve into the debate of multitasking with this issue, but with a steady taking of responsibility as we look toward the prize called upward with a whole heart, that we can't achieve on our own. In short? Chutzpah! 1st appearances are being spit balled fast, as Marvel serves up the fixings with new adventures. One could call the "spider" a long for this world roller coaster fit for all ages, that we all must pay our dues if we want to sing the blues, and we know THAT don't come EASY! Yes, "LINE UP!" Aerosmith! Picked up for $63 shipped off Ebay.
Complete with a back cover picture of the #2 issue picked up in the bin dives at the DVD store. That flow that keeps up like caffeine to the cranium, youthful in spirit and making a comeback as a refresher in a rebooted classic series!

Newsstand 9.8 1st full appearance of "Cardiac" (Elias Wirtham) 1st Cletus Kasady (Carnage!) I got this off the boards from boardie "SHAGS13". I even gave him a raw VF- ASM #298 for $20 off this slab, end result $145! Awesome, because I don't often see a Newsstand of this issue! If you can find it in high grade, it may be worth the funds; although, I have a harder time speculating. I have had the correct timing in some cases. At the time coming off McFarlane, the art was in a bit of transition, and it took some type of assurance that quality wouldn't go down before people would buy. Steady art and plot built that assurance, mostly by Bagley after the McFarlane run. Bagley could do no wrong, imo, and bolstered my anticipation. This Erik Larson and Randy Emberlin was a bit jolty in the transition. Seems at the time I thought they might be trying to correct Spidey a bit to pre-McFarlane days. I realize that could be subjective, it has a decent flow in a way, in my opinion. All of the above made out alright, and still, these are collectable comics nearly 30 to 40 years later!
Complete with Erik Larsons try at the Punisher and Spidey as a back cover picture. Issue #330 given to me as an "extra" in the board raffle January 2023 by Motor City Rob the boardie. Leading up to this issue of #344 Larson had his irons in the fire with several other properties but was in between Bagley and McFarlane for comparison! Just to get a feel for the books that became interwoven for story and detail!

The 1st full Carnage!! A hit on the newsstand and was very Good Times for me when I was young. Only a 9.6 but is a good solid grade to pay some respect for those years growing up reading, and I'm glad to have it in the collection! The newsstands on these might still be in abundance but it would have been a niche. Forget that, just give me a presentable slabbed keeper and a raw to read. We've got the ball busting Carnage who won't reason, nor will he spare any mercy. No mercy IS his trademark, the moment you consider or lay out reasonableness, look for the Cletus Kasady Symbiote Double-Cross; this is the way! There would have been bets to see if this character could pull off a type of fanbase compared to Venom at the time, but most were reading to their hearts delight; although, even Venom himself needed an antithesis as opposed to Spidey!
Complete with back cover picture of the lenticular bought with my brother at Fan Expo Dallas comic con 2022. This picture is of Carnage, it has 3 figures total, including Spidey and Venom. Really well done if there is light to see, like at a con, ha! That's why I bought it, home light is not as well lit!

1st appearance of Spider-man 2099! Donated to me by the honorable Boardie PunisherPunisherPunisher, Chad is a helper. I have a raw to read, it also has a poster I believe. The art for the poster was done by Mark Bagley, which is of Carnage, with Spidey and Venom! In a classic style that flows to show the urgency of Spider-man being "in the middle!" What a sandwich! It doesn't stop there, as collecting goes, it was somewhat an oversized issue, and it has the "neat" hologram on the cover! Spidey 2099 was a 1st of "its" kind, with other characters going on to have 2099 versions as well. Even a Deadpool and Punisher, among others had the futuristic name called out! Given the popularity of those niches at the time, these characters of 2099 even broke out into their own solo ongoing series to flesh out the characters. Sometimes even, being brought to "our time" to meet the current original character!
Complete with a back cover picture of my childhood copy of Spider-Man 2099 #1 that has survived 30+ years and is in decent shape, but I will save it to read until I find a slab that suits the registry. Those were inspiring times that kept us riveted, all the while waiting at the Newsstands for more!

1st appearance of the new Kraven the Hunter (Ana Kravinoff). Daredevil & Fracture appearance. Who loves Kraven the Hunter!?! I had a subscription to Spider-man Classics as a kid, along with a Wolverine one, and those stories were the closest I got to the real deal at the age of 8 or 9. Paid with my own money and sent by way of snail mail, and here we are with the nostalgia soul for those renditions that keep the pace. I'm glad the character shows development and can still case the joint with her female wiles. Not to be forgotten is the athleticism that kept these characters despising arachnids, and making their mark just to prove they could! Spidey-sense aside, these are the merciful or at least humbling experiences that the Amazing Spider-man cultivates into the minds of us readers. There will always be someone bigger and badder, and you can only to take responsibility for your part and make life work!
Complete with a back cover picture of the 1st appearance pages from my raw copy! Indeed, that takes the "Blonde Adventurer" to some depths after taking down the Spidey! Who couldn't be a hero mask wearer "and" a sniveler. Indeed, the Peter underneath now questions the reality he faces. Spider-senses are tingling.

$3.99 Newsstand Edition. Eddie Brock becomes Anti-Venom. Thunderbolts (Norman Osborn, Radioactive Man, Songbird, Bullseye & Venom) app. These could be found other than your Local Comic Shop/Store, but that didn't keep those speculators from scooping up redeemable copies for slabbing. Who knew that these would keep an established distribution other than the direct format, to end up on the CGC label as "recognized!?" ANYWAY, I also have the Venom Alpha #1 where someone else becomes "Anti-Venom" as well, but these are the firsts in that regard I believe. These Venoms and symbiotes are exploding into all different colors on the market, this one being white, yet not as many as the "Goblin" to be sure. Maybe there is competition for the stories and plots? I don't know, but there is a lot invested to not make something of it, of that, I'm certain!
Complete with a back cover picture of the surrounding issues that were killer-diller packed with action, pulling out all the stops! Giving some shout outs to presidents, even 1st appearance of Barack Obama in issue #583!

NEWSSTAND ALERT! 1st Ezekiel and Morlun! Signed by J Scott Campbell at a CGC in-house signing, 10/12/2021. A real ball of web we've got here! Signed 2 days before my brother's birthday. Some 1sts that have been rumored to be big, a cheap enough raw that a "newsstand" sealed the deal to buy at $27 shipped. The cost for signature series was $123, which is a total in at $150. Kind of disappointing to get only VF+, even when it was pressed. I'm still hopeful that something can be made or curated either by dollar bin finds or the market to fund purchases like this, but it is a type of niche that can be worth it all its own, in my opinion. Not to be taken lightly if the Ezekial in the movie Madame Web was to be a portrayal of this issues character, it all intertwines, well, like a web and that takes into consideration the producers of film as well as comics!
Complete with back cover picture of the second appearance of "Ezekiel" in the following issue #31, and another Campbell cover, a raw this time! I hope these trade pick-ups and $1 bin finds keep coming, put in some effort and maybe! Keeping up with the run, even as of 2022, these may be found in grade easily, and they are nice to have for the art and story.

1st Cindy Moon, well as herself, who later becomes "Silk!" We've got a bit of retroactive story here, and maybe even a retcon of stories to discuss. With media, current comics of moderns, statues, and yes even a video game or two, these are making an impact in the comic world. A nice CGC 9.8 for $108.25 from Titan Comics an LCS, and a signed signature series yellow label by Humberto Ramos on 9/18/21 as well! Nice to see the impact this comic had on collectors, because I bought it already signed. I know there are variants to this cover, and no label notation on the CGC label yet as far as Cindy. I remember this issue being signed by Stan Lee multiple times at comic cons, even came pre-signed to be available for shows! I was tempted more than once, but the issues were raw signatures and not CGC yellow label.
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides to this issue showing origin layers with Silk, or namely Cindy Moon on a similar school trip when Peter Parker "got bit!" Year, 2014 reboot. Just to illustrate how ramped up they were to promote comics around that time with a revamp!

Spidey is sinister looking! 1st Silk! A cool COVER that seems timeless to the story inside. A turn back the clock type story. I'm glad to have this example in my collection. A lovely book that was needed as a pickup early on. I bought one that came back 9.2, then I realized grading wasn't as simple for me. I was new but knew the story and that it was a keeper. Future Spider-woman with such a beginning as "Parker!" Given time anything is possible, even with the MCU. I get waiting for more popular stories though. We may need some more quality stories with some meaning under the characters belt. She has been well introduced, but not as of yet the center of anything. Appearances showed a sharp spike, after 2014, where Silk even got her own ongoing series. She's been seen out with other "Spider-women" and has come into her own. Super happy I got a 9.8, even of the regular cover as there are Campbell and Ramos variants!
Complete with a back cover picture of the following issue, similarly the "Original Sin" that is the 2nd appearance of Cindy Moon as Silk, and her 1st cover appearance from the cover price DVD store!

1st solo of America in her own story, and for Spacious Sky's it is a scorcher here in 2022. I bought this 9.8 at Fan Expo Dallas 2022. It helps when there are things in the mail though to beat the heat, but the Comic-Con was the most important event so far this year. I got this added to the registry, it's not everyone's favorite character, but pivotal nonetheless. We sometimes make do with the opportunities that we have and somehow we overcome, hence the America character, and who is Chavez? You might take her for opinionated or rambunctious, but the things she wants done takes time. She is making do with what she's got as her opportunity, at the moment, but will her mind ever change? Does it need to? The "Let it Be" song comes to mind, also that sometimes we are the change or the change is in us and we all need to share the love.
Complete with a little Razza back cover pick of issue #2! That's a lady. Top hat with a bit of a Guns and Roses vibe, time capsule!

Hulk gains powers and becomes The Immortal Hulk. Has since been nominated for an award, it didn't win, but everyone is liking this story line continued in Immortal Hulk the Ongoing Series! Bought at Fan Expo Dallas 2019, from Monster Lair Comics I believe, a bit highly priced. Still an awesome book and event or else I wouldn't have paid, ha! Keep that con train a rolling. Fan Expo Conventions have been pretty reliable, and the dealers are regulars, I'm a regular shopper as well. Finding deals take cash. A bit of luck too. Sometimes repeated customers are rewarded if they are not weary in well doing. Keep that network, make the dream work. The green machine is tearing his eye sockets as he did his pants! Those older TV shows really gave us an "eyeful" and a perception of what it meant to let loose and "Hulk Out!" It even attempted morals out of all the "smashing!" A hit!
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides to this comic, picked up as a double and or under copy raw, for $3 at Half Price books! In nice shape too, a nice reward with limited funds available until comic con 2023 next week.

1st Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel predates Captain Marvel #1 (9/12). MS Marvel has been around the world, seen a million girls, ain't a one of them got what the lady she's got. She's stealin' the spotlight, Knocks me off my feet. She's enough to start a landslide, Just a walkin' down the street! Wearing dresses so tight, And looking dynamite. Enough to blow me out, No doubt about it can't live without it. We all got a Rhythm, yet we get out of whack and we have to take it as an ever-changing fact. Just got to not give flack, cause we all have at it and don't look back! Lest we be not fit for the land of promise, we still try our best, and MS Marvel has had it to the test many a time, we still try. Keep it on top of the game and old Marvel we'll give their best as well. Aboard a sinking ship? We must attest to the person within us and our ableness! A bit of puzzling hope, with a dash of nostalgia, and the bringing on of the films, we've got a dose of MS Marvel for every generation as continued in ongoing media. There is a preview of this issue that could be considered a cameo in publication; although, it is just this issues pages, but in print itself those take on new meaning when it is the "first in print or publication."
Complete with a back cover picture of issue #10, the 2nd appearance, as a reader but a possible keeper to slab eventually. Thinking of the long term there are many more years to come. Will there be a new rendition?

1st full appearance of Winter Soldier. "The Scarlet and the Black" movie poster cover homage. Captain America #555. In comes the Winter with a real frost over of feelings for the Captain America. Good old Cap is not looking blameless this go around, and the Winter Soldier is taking aim to right those wrongs. Complete with movie news and a few viewers, even Iron Man seems to care. The end result is that some good wins out and some wrongs are righted, yet we can't get over the bonds that were on shaky times. I got this from Duncanville Bookstore 2022 on the Facebook live feed, and right before the Fan Expo Dallas Comic Con was to take place. The store was previewing books to take to the con, and I didn't want to miss out, especially in case the price goes up once on display at the event. Times are quick and needed to snag a deal in this year's market.
Complete with a back cover picture of two under copies of the 1st Winter Soldier, including the 1st cameo appearance! Nice finds at $11 for the cameo and $2 for the first full appearance. As readers, they'll do at about 7.5 raw, with a press they'd do better. Both Half Price Books finds.
