I picked up USM 33 last weekend for $10…realized Venom didn’t appear “inside” the issue…it was actually a beaker in the last panel. So I dumped it for $25.
So “first cover appearance” is entirely accurate.
I’m kind of at a loss why people are going Gaga over a beaker right now….I’m not sure if USM 34 or 35 (another cover, first full) will be more significant/relevant to Cates story.
FOMO, I suppose.
The beaker is the Ultimate suit, which is what’s going to be relevant to the story (someone using that universe’s symbiotic), not Ulti Venom himself, so yes I would see that being the one over certainly 34/35.
I get what’s inside the beaker….but that’s all it is…a beaker with goop inside.
Watch the thing merge with Dylan and people go crazy for it now…
Isn’t the Amazing Spider-Man #365’s First Appearance just preview pages for SPM2099 #1?
Absolutely correct. It’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” had I put “in preview” people would get pissy
is Spiderman 2099#1 vs amazing Spiderman #365 the new hulk #180 vs hulk #181?yes it is a preview however it pre dates Spiderman 2099 #1 so it is Spiderman 2099’s first appearance #testify blind adam out
$1.40 on MAXX #1 Raws .. eureka, I can retire at last ..
I can’t retire on my Maxx stash alone but if Pitt or Youngbloods ever get optioned….
I believe “Youngblood” was optioned as a film in 2009 .. this is simply another indication of how much an “option” actually means ..
Oooh…poyo validate this with your excellent spreadsheet!!
I love Pitt best Image character ever!
I refuse to believe anybody really wants that Walking Dead issue. They had tons of them for cover they couldn’t unload at the comic store.
