Stopped in my LCS this afternoon to pick up my books. For whatever reason a few of these books with Alien vs Marvel variants were delayed, so Hulk came out this week, and I think that just leaves Captain America and Black Widow that I'm waiting on to finish the set.

I know there's the brouhaha about this issue being recalled. Is that actually true at this point? eBay seems to think so. It was enough to give me concern that my book wouldn't be there, but luckly I arrived and my two copies were waiting in my box. And what's more, they still had the regular issues of 43 on the stands, so I went ahead and picked these up. Why not? If there's indeed a brouhaha, better safe than sorry, I suppose.

They'd put out a few more minisets, including a couple that I may go back for. Today I picked up this set of Justice League 24-30 for $12, primarily to get the $30. They're pretty sharp. They have a set of 31-50 that was a bit pricier, I may go back for it this weekend.

Some more pick-ups from the LCS. These aren't comics, but I'm thinking there's probably some crossover with the comic/magazine/horror crowd here. I don't see old Fango's hardly ever, at all. The #7 is a little rough (tanning on the interior edges, etc) but the others are pretty nice, for $5 a pop!

Today I stopped by a local store that I'd never visited before. I know the owner from the local flea markets and hobby shows, heck I've even been to yard sales at his house. But due to circumstance and distance, I'd just never made the trip to his shop. They are primarily a Funko Pops and moderns store, but they have little stash of random older stuff. I went in to buy some Batman figures, and walked out with a couple of books as well. More Star Wars stuff to feed the beast, and this 500 Platinum. At first I was super stoked because I thought it was the 75, but oh well, for $50 the Advs 500 still seemed like a good buy. And now it goes good bye!

Edit: no matter which way I turn these files, they appear upside down. Let's see if this works...

Edit: Nope, it didn't work. Enjoy these rare upside down variants!

I love the whole series. They’re pure cheese, but never make any excuses for it!

@ADAMANTIUMVery nice Crow book! Loved the film, but haven't had the opportunity to read the books. Someday I hope to come across a set and give them a once-over.

Continuing to feed the ASM 300 cover swipe addiction. A pair of Clayton Crain Gwenom Vs. Carnage #1's to add to the ever-growing collection. I like Clayton Crain's signature on his art; he keeps it nice & modest. This book has to have the smallest "After McFarlane" I've ever seen though. xD

I think Absolute Carnage & King in Black are making the best of the opportunity to do a goo-suit purge & knock the number of symbiotes in the 616 down to a manageable level. Once its all said and done, I'd like to see it back down to Venom, Carnage, Scream (I like where they were going with Andi's character development) and Flash Thompson back in his role as Andi's mentor/father-figure. The rest of the gooey rainbow can be retired for a bit, IMHO.

But keep the ASM 300 swipes coming. :D
