According to Wacker and series writer Rick Remender, Flash Thompson is the latest character who will become bonded with the violent alien symbiote.

Norman Osborn, the green goblin, the leader of the Thunderbolts, made the kill-shot and took out the Skrull Queen.

In the aftermath, Tony Stark took all the blame for the invasion and was stripped of his roles as leaders of the Avengers and the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Norman Osborn was appointed to replace Stark.The Dark Avengers #1 is all about Norman Osborn’s New Avengers, or should we say the Dark Avengers.

The first issue is how he approaches Moonstone (Karla Sofen) while she is meditating to take over as Ms Marvel. He also introduced the name H.A.M.M.E.R. as the replacement for S.H.I.E.L.D., but just the name, no details about it on the first issue. He gave Venom something to eat that makes him ‘normal’ and Venom takes over The Amazing Spider-Man. Daken Akihiro takes his father’s place as Wolverine, Bullseye as Hakweye. Marvel Boy is Captain Marvel. Ares, the God of War, and the Sentry is still around.

Norman Osborn is the Iron Patriot.

Deodato’s artwork is solid, you can see that although the Dark Avengers are wearing heroes costumes, they are not heroes. I am currently subscribing the New Avengers and the Mighty Avengers, this one looks cool too, but I’m not sure whether I should spend more money on comics

Collecting comics is an expensive hobby. It was about RM3.80 per issue at that time, and that was a lot. I have to keep some of my pocket money for it and decide which issues to buy as I can only afford to buy 1 or 2 a month .. and the ones i missed, my friends and I will talk about it. We didn’t lend or borrow as we wanted to keep our collection in mint quality. I remembered once when I used all my savings for comics. I asked my father for a piece of cheque of the same value so that I could order comics directly from a specialty store. He topped up a bit and I remembered being really happy at that time.

In a way, it taught me how to manage money.

Anyway, how was the movie? I expected more. Apart from great CGI and super villains, and a great final scene, it was boring. I think Venom, being a significant character in the comics, was introduced too late and too short in Spiderman 3. The movie dragged quite a bit with the love story of Peter and MJ. It does however, made Peter Parker more human. At some time, my daughter wasn’t paying attention. I was surprised as she really liked 1 and 2 and has been watching the DVDs repeatedly when she found out no 3 is coming. Nuff said.

Want to see my comics. This is part of my collection, Spawn and Secret Wars. There are more but I can’t take all out as I don’t want my son to see… ha…ha .. comics helped me with my English but those are my collection, I don’t want him to mess with them.

That’s issue number 1 of Secret Wars. The black costume, which eventually became Venom, was originally introduced in Secret Wars 8 (below). I sold that off and made money from it. Should have hold on to it longer but how would I know there will be a movie about Spiderman? The original black costume is much sleeker than the one in the movie. Pure black with a white spider logo.
