Hot damn, Carnage can be a fun villain but his sixteen issue series from 2015-2017 was hands down the best thing I've seen him in. ****in' Carnage trying to resurrect a Lovecraftian Elder God with J. Jonah Jameson's astronaut/werewolf son and Eddie Brock (with a different symbiote than Venom) among others trying to stop him. It's exactly the kind of "larger-than-life pulp nonsense that just gets bigger and more absurd by the issue before climaxing in nearly the end of the world" **** that makes comic books the best thing on earth. Highly recommended to Lucem I guess since he's a Carnage fan.
And some of those covers are phenomenal.

 Me: You're mad, Charles. You're buying way too many comics. Also me: Shut up, Charles. Just got this bad boy and I'm excited for three reasons: I'm already a fan of the Thunderbolts from reading their earlier stories but this is the first physical Thunderbolts comic I own; in this book Norman ****ing Osborn becomes leader of the Thunderbolts and adds Venom and Bullseye to the team (upping the crazy factor by like 20) so they can hunt down unregistered superheroes for S.H.I.E.L.D. after Civil War, which is just so perverted and cool that I can't stand it; and this is also my first Warren Ellis comic and I've been meaning to read something of his since I keep hearing his name spoken in the same breath as writers like Alan Moore and Grant Morrison who are my gods. And a fourth reason I'm excited is anything with Moonstone in it being a conniving, evil bitch is my favorite thing.

The story takes place in divided Berlin during the Cold War circa '73. Incidentally it's been 30 years since the Berlin Wall fell (Nov. '91). The premise involving spies and an alien monster has plenty of potential and I anticipate the story unfolding.
Strange Skies over East Berlin

So is anyone else getting hype for the Disney+ Marvel series?
OMG possible Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers? That would be an amazing way to wipe the taste of Suicide Squad out of my mouth. The possibility of Moonstone onscreen will haunt me until it happens. And **** Ross. Give me Norman Osborn. I keep hearing rumors of Mathew McConaughey being cast as Osborn for something or other so McConaughey being the leader of the Thunderbolts is a dream.

Speaking of, anyone here read “Vision” my Tom King? Perhaps my favorite comic series I’ve read. It’s spectacular

Yes it's super ****ing good. I'm assuming it and the series where Scarlet Witch and Vision have kids will be kind of melded together for the new series.
